penquin,

What’s going on?

BurnedDonut,

As you can see they are giving opening greetings for this session.

Cagi,

This is a Maori war dance called a Haka. Traditianally meant to intimidate your enemies and psych yourself up before a big battle. Here are some real Maori warriors performing a large Haka. youtu.be/xI6TRTBZUMM

AI_toothbrush,

I know about maori people but what is the context for this clip?

Cagi,

She’s newly elected. This was a part of her first speech and it has gone viral. She’s Maori and I suppose this is her saying she’s there to fight, but I didn’t see the rest of the speech.

penquin,

That’s badass

Cagi,

Imagine seeing an army doing this in full face paint 300 years ago. Terrifying. I’d give up, they win.

penquin,

Why 300 years ago? Now, I’d still give up. That made my hair stand up.

not_again,

Iambic (some-number)-ter FTW

Which demon did I just summon to this earthly plane by watching this? Ah well, it’ll have to fight the ones already here for dominance, so I’m sure it will be fine. :-P
