Snowflake central virtue signalling as usual  -  theguardian.com says it all.    Anyone who disagrees with  them is automatically a Nazi or an 'ist  of some description.

See what thinking does for you? 

Are you being thinkist ?

A person who doesnt like other people thinking, especially if their thoughts are not aligned with their own.
As in 'Dont think, its dangerous, people like you shouldnt think, you are not intelligent enough to think like me , so just dont do it'  :lol:

I think you guys would be genuinely shocked at the levels of political correctness, colonial guilt and virtue signalling that goes on in NZ regarding colonisation. Not only is it supported and of course, funded by the state (i.e. the tax payer), it has a legal framework and affects every aspect of life, especially state sector services (e.g. education; healthcare etc).

Unless I’ve read it wrong there was no apology, so they’re not ‘apologists’. I have no problem anyone expressing regret for the things their ancestors did, but would have a problem with an apology. 

Apologising for something my ancestors did is akin to me apologising for the actions of Peter Sutcliffe on the basis we’re both male. The idea is ridiculous. 

I could understand today’s Germans expressing regret for the actions of Hitler, but I wouldn’t expect them to apologise.

Pretty much this ^^^

I recently had a discussion on the effect of colonialism in Africa with a former Miss World Kenya, although it had served me well in the past, she didn't take me up on my offer to personally make it up to her 😉

Its mostly about money at the end of the day.
