Jacinda once again sparkles on the International Stage

Here is Jacinda once again sparkling on the International Stage. The once universally revered Aung San Suu Kyi is one of the great current disappointments of foreign relations. Her blind indifference to the genocide being waged by the military inside her own country has seen her this week stripped of her Ambassador of Conscience award  bestowed upon her by Amnesty International. Jacinda offering to reach out to a once great figure who is now quickly becoming a pariah is real evidence of the politics of kindness that Jacinda is attempting to channel.

I wonder if we are beginning to see the possible first female leader of the UN.

  1. Starting to vomit with all these adoring international media stories that seem to mostly be selling the global neoliberalism message, packaged behind a women and baby story. She can do it all, breastfeed, be a PM and still have time to let the world know world trade is the most important thing in the world, before the environment or human rights! Kindness is good too, but not sure how kind neoliberalism is?

    Obviously the Labour advisors and MSM have not noticed the wildfires burning people alive in Europe and US and that India is predicted to hit 50 degrees, sea and air pollution is rife, fish less plentiful, biodiversity going, forests disappearing, but Jacinda is not exactly using her position to change the world for the majority of people, more profits for the 1% business and dinosaur jobs… instead of planning for a different more ecological future that can save a lot more people that 20th c globalism like Tobacco/oil/construction is determined to get as many profits as possible.

    The great thing about construction is when natural disasters happen, they get more profits to rebuild! Marvellous! Why bother to change when governments are eating up your strategy?
