What the fuck is going on here? It's like a three handed handshake but with only two hands.

It's funny that there's a group of politicians who are known by their first name with no confusion.

Is it cultural appropriation that he signs off his post with "g"?
And just in from Seymour.
This is the intent. Forget whatever flowery words Erica uses. They want your child growing up in a NZ that is blind to its history. That’s not learning, it’s indoctrination.
