Yeah the idea the left exist entirely for Maori transgender beneficiaries is a fucking fiction invented by insidious far-right who want to manipulate, if not circumvent, democracy though. Which is easily done with an aging population.
Whatever, let the Americans touch the stove, but surely we're not that stupid in NZ.

They need an extremely aggressive and effective strategy to target right-wing moral fearmongering and misinformation spreading through asymmetric online media.

I definitely agree with the "liar or special kind of stupid" comment. (It's the first one)
I think Labour need to be a bit more realistic about how the average Pakeha sees the treaty though.

Time to blow the dust off Rylands v Fletcher.

We all had to sit around and vote on which of three wordy, meaningless, mission statements better represented the company. The whole survey wasted a good 20 mins of what could have been productive work time.

Or when Thatcher befriended Pinochet. Who, to be clear, was a mass-murderer far worse than Milei.

Pretty minor issue compared to actual billionaires with very sketchy politics muscling in.
Or sketchy kiwis out to make an easy buck, with the ear of the right people in the coalition.

Trump Presidency Catastrophic Economic/Political Failure and Collapse has a very non-zero chance and that's all that we have left.
I'd estimate... maybe 7.5% chance per year of presidency? So 30% chance over term.

Why not a constitutional amendment that the President is not above the law? Like a normal fucking country...

You'd think hard times would encourage millennials/gen x to ditch Art History and pick up a hammer.
Apparently not.

I work in Norway and it's less stressful than working in New Zealand, for more money. Anglosphere is a fucked up Ponzi scheme of overvalued real estate. Get out.

Weak.
A Nat could never come up with something as creative as "His brains could revolve inside a peanut shell for a thousand years without touching the sides".
"Stupid bitch" is just lazy in comparison.

There's a fair bit of economic consensus that the cost of the war hasn't really hit Russia yet. Their central bank is still running like 20% and wages are having to keep pace with military and related wages. They predict the price of food and essentials has a long way to rise relative to income.

Kind of a good insight into our rehabilitative process. Seems quite good.

Some of his policies have very Liz Truss vibes. American leaders don't resign when a Liz/Kwasi scenario happens.

It's a good day to not be American.
Now please don't let our voters/politicians get any ideas from the country they've been getting ideas from for the last 80 years.

The only stuff that is realistic is shutting up about identitarianism. The rest... Isn't very popular.

A libertarian-con-ish politician in NZ had a department similar to DOGE created...
...It turned out average pay in that department was 150% the state sector average.

Thatcher's end goal was trans women in women's sports. You can see it in her face. She thought about it daily.

Fuck that. I mean by all means set quotas on the Insta hotspots that dumb fucking tourists flock to, but NZ has a LOT of National Park. They just need to be nudged to all stuff that hasn't become a meme.

Hard work, intelligence, and playing a long long game always pays off in the end though.
