I think people online have a shockingly inaccurate assessment of the average kiwi. Kiwis are by and large much more conservative than people think. More conservative, more racist, more ignorant, more stupid, and more cruel than you or the rest of the world thinks.

@BalpeenHammer @quoll , not the ones that I know.
I think the bigger problem already might be that the 'pied Pipers' of industry make to many offers that can't be refused (otherwise how can people that not that long ago gave one opinion now claim the opposite,
I mean, are they nut jobs pretending to be normal or just haven't they got enough backbone to stand against orders from the top, or the money is too good - both I guess).

It depends on income, education and living situation like everywhere in the world.
I was 2008/9 in Nz and found so many helpful people of any type, like in the gone GDR - but not today in modern countries.
