Criptic Critic Conscience and Known for it

Monday, May 20, 2019

New Zealand White Supremacy. Generations of neglect in education and integration producing insecurities willing to commit terrorism to be recognized.

  • Living in Chch in the 90's, coming into contact with any aspect of the very revered White supremacist skin head connection, was like being served a Mafia order. I have no idea how real any of it was, but the idea was well established that the cops were in on it and if you got focused on you could forget any rational help. Terrorism as. Well alive - T>W

    • Roger Boyce I've had two potentially physical run-ins with CCH skinheads since moving here 15 years ago. The skin-heads and white-supremicists of your "90s" were a different brand/breed of neo-nazi. Euro-identitarians, nativists, nationalists have - thanks to the ease and low cost of internet publishing - an easier time recruiting and indoctrinationg. Rational fear, given their growing international networks, resources, and connections to nation-state governments, is more than justified.

  • Wells Tao Roger Boyce yes above ground bullying has become contemporary, but equally it was the foundations of the gangs bullying and unaccountability underground, in the ways we moved around the city, and not certain suburbs is where the rot the cancer entered the system. And saw the rot, grow un affected by democratic will or state.

  • Robyn Conway This lot may have grown out of what they'll have learned online as much as being part of a New Zealand lineage. Through the 80s skinhead gangs had a strong presence and probably less organised in a fascistic sense. One group I was unlucky enough to encounter several times. They arrived in Christchurch and made their presence known very quickly. They were very dangerous, psychotic and explosively violent with none or very little provocation. For instance I was with a friend sitting in the front window of a cafe so he could keep an eye on his bike. He looked at them as they walked past. They turned round, came in, beat him up, threw the furniture around intending to smash it. To me that was a version of terrorism. After this they spent a lot of time drinking on the terrace outside the Star and Garter at the end of my street. If I wanted to leave and walk into central Christchurch I had to walk all the way round the block to avoid them. Then they disappeared, but where did they go?

    • Wells Tao Incredible Robyn Conway, your writing took me straight back to times I also experienced this public violence as if it was a norm, like watching the school bully, have his way with a small child, while the teachers looked on, thankful it wasn't them.

  • Katy Hodgson Lived in Lincoln. Word was the skinheads took their summer hols in Nelson. They were obvious. Whole aspect was to instill fear - they prob called it respect.
