I find it cool because of how the groom and his family are taking part in showcasing their love for the Māori cultural identity. #culture #ritual #unified Wed, 23 Sep 2020 17:45:55 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/229099?scroll_to=2079715 https://nowcomment.com/documents/229099?scroll_to=2079715 What caught my eye the most was the woman who held the sign "Terrorists hijacked my religion" which reminded me about how the United States in particular seems to gloss over or justifies the killings of millions of innocent people in the Middle East in the name of "eliminating terrorists." This makes me think a lot about the problems with nationalism and how a lot of these horrors are swept under the rug. #reality #misconceptions Wed, 23 Sep 2020 17:22:31 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/229099?scroll_to=2079676 https://nowcomment.com/documents/229099?scroll_to=2079676 I also noticed how in their poetry, both girls cited hate crimes committed by their own people against the opposition. With this, they both able to come to a consensus that both sides have done harm for the sole purpose of power. I do wonder, however, what do these girls feel after the recent far-right and aggressive political changes in Israel? #discourse #union Wed, 23 Sep 2020 17:20:04 -0400
