The ASB Finance Debate had the sort of white privilege only Queenstown can pull off.
This is the hyper elite tourism capital of the world and for the first time in their precious little lives the white volk of the South Island’s favourite gated playground are feeling the bite of economic insecurity that  everyone else has to live with.
You could hear the crackle of panic in the air from the albino audience fearful for their gold card membership points.
This is speculative Death Cult Capitalism at its lightest shade of pale.
Tova was the host which just seemed to be perfect for the brawl it often deteriorated into.
This was set up, punch down TV and it was gloriously funny at points.
Grant held his own (and was right), Goldsmith looks way less credible than anyone first thought, James was missing in action and no one cared what the fuck Fletcher had to say.
The star performer was Seymour who was quick, funny and sang free market mythology the sweetest.
I mean, it’s all free market neoliberal garbage from a Party hijacked by gun fetishists and anti 1080 acolytes, but dammit, David knows his way around a sharp zinger.
His confidence and clear point of difference is the exact sort of thing that will woo disillusioned white male National voters and I think it was a good enough performance to carve off another 3% from National and gain ACT a double digit election result.
So, in terms of who won based on performance:
1st – David Seymour’s wit and false confidence.Â
2nd – Grant Robertson for actually being right.
3rd – Paul Goldsmith only because James and Fletcher were fucking dreadful.
4th – James Shaw only because no one cares who or what Fletcher is.
5th – Fletcher Tabuteau – who is this guy? He sounds like a Belgian Accountancy Firm.
Neoliberalism without end was the winner on the night and democracy and the environment were the losers.

Goodbye to our world as ‘climate change’ will stop all these “snow jobs”
Well seemore will need his wit and self confidence cause he ain’t going to get any of his policies implemented just more vote wasting.
If Seymour was leaked all the questions before the event and was to have an edge perhaps that may have given the reason why he ‘shined with confidence’ like Judith was in the other debate taking place on the day???
‘Neoliberalism without end was the winner on the night and democracy and the environment were the losers.’
How could it be otherwise when the event was run by neoliberals and participated in by neoliberals.
Neoliberalism has won every battle….and is now in the process of losing the war.
The beautiful irony of neoliberalism is that it is a self-defeating system. Every day that is loots a bit more resource (that is running out), generates a bit more waste (that no one knows what to do with), and conjures a bit money (that has no tangible backing) out of thin air to prop itself up, the weaker it becomes and the more vulnerable to collapse it becomes.
Sure, these maniacs can ‘print’ money via computer systems and allocate portions of it to their bizarre pet projects. And their buddies overseas can still rig markets and keep up the pretence all is well… maybe for several more months.
Best thing Labour supporters could do in Epsom is vote for Goldie, en masse.
All 3 Epsom Labour supporters already vote Goldsmith every election. The other 99.999% of Epsom constituents vote for whoever the Chinese Embassy tells them to.

Countryboy + 1000%
‘Does that not stoke a rage in anyone else but me?’
It did, countryboy, it did. And I spent 15 years fighting the bastards. And then I realised five things.
1. They have almost infinite resources to generate propaganda (lies), and if they run short they can either print some more or steal some from us and use those resources against us. Whereas mine were (and still are) extremely limited.
2. They own the media, and the garbage they churn out gets parroted daily, if not hourly by the [corrupt] media. On the other hand, the ‘gatekeepers; ensure that no fundamental truth gets anywhere near the broadcasting system
3. The general populace is so dumbed-down that a large portion (the majority?) believe the bullshit churned out by the bastards.
4. Anyone who seriously challenges the empire gets annihilated. Just look at how the empire has treated the truth-teller Julian Assange! Practically killed him, and still not content, the empire wants him to die behind bars for revealing the corruption, lies, cowardice etc. that characterise those who run the empire
5. The system is self-defeating and will implode whether we take action to bring it down or not.
The implosion is underway now.
Exactly. Get prepared.
The MSM gushing over Seymour has been disturbing, sort of like those women who fall in love with serial killers and send them love letters while they await execution. Seymour and his ilk have nothing to offer, they have been holding this country back for many years whilst also bludging millions off the tax payer. If you have that urge to shoot Muslims or road workers then vote for ACT.
