it's called an "argument from ignorance". Don't be in a hurry to accept what you're told. Question everything and come to this conclusion: Anyone or any group, or ideology that doesn't want you to think for yourself is NOT your friend. Make up your own mind , weigh the pros and the cons for yourself- you alone decide what you believe : make an informed decision.
Problem here is there are 2 opposing stories about Parihaka, same with a lot of past incidences, void of facts unless you read everyones literature not just one view. Parihaka was the attempt by Maori to Govern themselves or set up a Governing Body to control their people ON THEIR LAND. Sadly they couldnt and the final disbanding was peaceful which is quite contrary to the story propagated that it was a bloodbath of innocents.
@lilchopcone666 what an absolute contraindication & hateful comment! It's simply freedom of speech in a democratic nation & the Marxists & Commies need to be tolerant!
