Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
Why isn’t this country more upset at what this government is doing?
I am baffled that we as a nation will just stand by and watch the Trumpification of New Zealand.
I have always been convinced that NZ is a much more conservative country than the image it tries to project, a much more racist and corrupt country than it pretends to be and nothing has brought that into sharper focus than the rule of Winston Peter and David Seymour.
I saw a video from Q&A with Jack Tame, he was interviewing american right winger dickhead James Linsey and the comments were so blackpilling. It was like 90% support for James Linsey.
Yup. We are so fucked and nobody seems to realize it.
I don’t know how to fight back against it because new Zealanders are so checked out of nz politics but passively absorbing American right wing politics and applying it here.
@Fizz @BalpeenHammer Given how we lept in boots and all into the market ideology in the 1980s and never resiled from it, I am not surprised that “me first” is lurking just below the surface of our collective psche.
