I’ve been on this forum for over a decade and have repeatedly doxxed myself, but it seems only now have people got it through their skulls where I am from. So it is a good time for me to perform a public service by answering questions related to NZ. Don’t ask me about contemporary politics or the stupid stuff portrayed on TV, because I think they are irrelevant and don’t care about them. But for other stuff, ask away.
I have questions about NZ wildlife. How common is it for someone to be hiking or out in nature and see a Kiwi (bird) and other birds native to NZ? Are the birds in New Zealand really friendly like articles say and people could go up to them and pick them up? The articles said the biggest reason most birds in New Zealand are endangered and many at risk of becoming extinct is because there use to be no natural predators so they lost the ability to fly, and now rats, domesticated and feral animals like cats and dogs are killing them and eating the eggs because the birds didn't use to have any predators so they didn't learn to feel threatened by other animals.

Kiwi sightings are pretty rare. For one thing they are nocturnal. II myself have only seen kiwis in the wild on a couple of occasions when out shooting possums. It is very common to see various other native birds. Some birds are friendly such as fantails. In fact one was bothering me at work today. Then you have birds like kea that are somewhat fearless and aggressive. In general though, no, most birds are not tame. Maybe the article is thinking of sanctuaries you can visit where the birds feel safe. Yes it true that predators are a major problem. It is not so much that the birds don't feel threatened as they tend to be K-selected in that they are long lived and slow to reproduce, so ill-equipped to deal with the new predator filled environment. An interesting feature about conservation work in NZ is that it is largely about killing things, which apparently causes NZ conservation workers to be regarded as barbaric by their overseas counterparts.

What's the future of New Zealand, will it one day become a republic? Will it become more Polynesian or more East Asian in character?

How would you encourage more British/Irish immigration to even it all out?

The future of NZ is that if nothing is done it will crash and burn and become a giant prison farm staffed by whoever is most convenient for the global elite at the time, which is how the global elite viewed NZ all along. Hopefully something will be done, but the revolution will have to begin in America. No-one cares that much about becoming a republic or not, except that we have a sentimental attachment for the British monarchy and such things as Knighthoods and VCs. Personally I don’t like British Isles immigration any more than any other immigration. They are a pain in the ass and generally arrogant, and they are put into government positions, presumably to maintain white type standards while denying local white men influence. We just need to get all recent immigrants the hell out. Then we need to deal with our own racial problems. I would actually favour a kind of two state solution to do that.

What are VCs? Viscounts of British nobility or something different?

I mean the Victoria Cross, the highest medal for bravery you can win in a war in the British Empire. If you have one of those it can never be rescinded, men will grovel at your feet, women's panties will drop, jobs will be offered and your life will be great. It probably wouldn't be taken so seriously if an equivalent medal were offered by the NZ government, who everyone justifiably hates. There is something about Mother England that most kiwis feel in our souls.

Just to reiterate this, the basic thesis of your post was to ask if NZ birds are naive and trusting. The answer is no, that is generally not true. They generally can fly, and will fly away from you if you approach them, just like most birds.

I notice that the man in the video picture’s eyes are green-brown like mine. I don’t know, but I bet we share a great grandfather.

Do many New Zealanders take farming jobs in New Zealand or are farming jobs taken by illegals like in America?

Do farm workers in NZ receive a good hourly wage? In America most farms need to hire illegals because the minimum wage for farming is too low like $2 or $3. A week or two ago US President Trump said he wanted to cut the farm worker wage to support farms. Another one of President Trump's many stupid ideas and stupid comments while the coronavirus continues.

Do you like and prefer living in New Zealand or would you build a life somewhere else in the world if you had that option?

Many NZ farms are still family affairs, although they are progressively and inevitably being corporatised. Many NZers still work as employees on farms, but in order to earn a high hourly wage you would have to have some special skill, have your own trained dogs or whatever. You have to be bred in to a lot of this stuff. Disgustingly, a lot of the corporate employees are foreigners. Generally, this is legal.

A good thing about farm work that hasn’t quite died out yet is that you sometimes get free accomodation, food, dog food etc. so your money, however little, is your money.

I take it that your question about farms also includes orchards and crop farms. (As a kiwi, when I see the word “farm” I think livestock). NZ orchards make extensive use of Pacific Island workers and mostly European backpackers at various times of the year on a guest worker program, hence my comments on Pacific Island females in another thread. In general the work is designed for females and foreigners who seem to do a good job of it. NZ men do some specialist jobs. Picking is now dominated by various Pacific Islanders for whom picking whatever is their life mission. Watching Vanuatuan men pick kiwifruit is like watching time-lapse video in that it is a blur of hands and the vines are denuded of fruit seemingly by magic. You’re never going to match them.

On balance, NZ is not much better or worse than any other Western asylum. Of course I would like to go somewhere else - but where and under what circumstances? - that is the question.

I often suspected Cornfed to be NOT from USA, but some other members of this forum strongly insisted, that they would be very surprised if Cornfed is not living in USA. - I got this NZ-impression from somewhere, a while ago, from some older comments from him, I guess.

As far as I know however Cornfed has been outside of New Zealand, in Asia (maybe Cambodia, China, Korea) - but I really like to know if he ever has been also in the States, living there, working there?

My question is:
Why did you go back to New Zealand, why did you not settle down somewhere else?

Is it better for you in New Zealand, and why? Financially? or because of better neighborhood? or language/culture issues?

Yes, I said I was from NZ on the Orient Expat forum ten years ago. The reason I didn't stay in Asia is that there was no job security or consistent way to earn a living for most people after the crash of 08, so it wouldn't have been possible to settle down, have a family etc. which was the whole point of being there.

Interesting video about white nationalism in New Zealand. While the the spokesperson is relatively articulate and able to deny the more egregious beliefs of these groups, I thought it was interesting to note the type of young men in the background participating in the demonstrations. Most of them were overweight, ugly, mental defectives with nothing going for them. Whiteness therefore becomes their only perceived asset since there is just nothing of value about them.

I think this goes a long way towards understanding our resident Kiwi's mentality. It puts context to his periodic begging for business advice and ideas to support himself here. I can't imagine the frustration of being in this class of individuals and not being able to support myself financially. Needing to go to the dentist is a financial crisis for them, and a major medical issue is a potential death sentence. So I get why they are angry. But the low-IQ behavior and responses to their predicament are the actual causes of their misery.

^ From that guy's accent he is clearly English. It is hard to say whether he is a shill or not. Thanks for posting. It will be interesting to research.
