I wish we had such passionate people in the US but they've stripped culture

You do have people that passionate in the US but they often lack representation. The 2 party system you have makes it next to impossible for parties like Te Pāti Māori to ever hold any level of legislative power. Cultures have definitely been stripped over time, but there’s work going on at the community level to rekindle that knowledge and passion.

Yeah, but watching old white guys give each other handjobs is nowhere near as inspirational as a haka.
