Saturday morale boost
by chuckofish
Need a morale boost this weekend? Here’s how the students of one New Zealand school paid their respects to a retiring teacher. Watch the whole thing, it’s short.
Lest you catch yourself recoiling from all that “toxic masculinity”, notice how controlled everyone is, and how when they finish they go on about their business as if nothing has happened. That’s not toxic, it’s healthy and great for morale!
As Xenophon observed in his Anabasis,
“…it is not numbers or strength that bring the victories in war. No, it is when one side goes against the enemy with the gods’ gift of a stronger morale that their adversaries, as a rule, cannot withstand them.
So chin up! Let us face our opponents with God’s gift of stronger morale!

And Archidamus said, “It is the noblest and safest thing for a great army to be visibly animated by one spirit.” These boys are the greatest army I’ve seen in a while! An excellent Haka.
🙂 When are you and your brothers going to do one for me?
WOW. Impressive. I want a Haka when I retire.
Me too!
I’ve gone down YouTube rabbit holes and watched hours of the All Blacks hakas. They’re so cool! Much like the Cameron motto “Sons of dogs, come here and eat flesh!”
What a great video!
