I appreciate middle class virtue signals are terribly important these days because identity is all about feeling and feelings rule!
However, Planet is melting eh…
World on brink of five ‘disastrous’ climate tipping points, study finds
Giant ice sheets, ocean currents and permafrost regions may already have passed point of irreversible change
…those tipping points once breached mean the end of complex civilisation in certain parts of the world.
So far Marama as Minister of Homelessness is missing in action over the horror of the Rotorua Golden Mile social housing cancer and James has just been re-elected co-leader after a bullshit phantom coup attempted by activists who got tricked by Matthew Hooton into self mutilating themselves.
The Greens have utterly failed to be transformative re climate change, their decision – which TDB advised against in 2020, to join this Government has left them with nothing to show other than their vacant Ministerial baubles.
But Marama got 500 retweets and likes for her chocolate wrapper activism, so yay?
Meanwhile the planet burns.
If you think being carbon neutral in 28 years is a ‘solution’, you are part of the fucking problem!
We need less middle class virtue signalling on Twitter and more actual change.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.

The problem is that the current people high in the Green Party, are not greenies. They have their own self interested version of what green is.
From creating record homelessness by cancelling older rentals based on some personal beef, driving up the price of houses for new home buyers (apparently some first home buyers are sitting on 1 million dollars of mortgage after buying in the woke planning version in West Auckland, full of large, new, infill housing, outside of the city centre, which used to be half the price, (old houses cancelled!)). https://www.oneroof.co.nz/news/42201
So busy cancelling, the government and woke forgot to stipulate that new builds have to be at 5x the average income. We have the new builds but at 1 million plus, and they need more migrants with outside money to be able to afford them and pay them off. This drives more braying for more immigration, more services needed and the Ponzi continues.
Apparently financial advisors are advising first home buyers to rent as it’s cheaper than buying now or buy a rental because their wages can’t cover cost of home ownership with rising interest rates, high costs of living and low salaries here. More migrants come, at lower wages, driving more experienced people out of NZ. https://www.indianweekender.co.nz/Pages/ArticleDetails/7/20431/new-zealand/government-backs-move-to-lower-pay-for-migrants-this-is-actually-a-positive-pol
During Covid 120,000+ people came back to NZ. NZ has had around 1 million+ migrants into NZ since Rogernomics, giving many foreign NZ Permanent residency and citizenship quickly. Due to our low wages and poor employment conditions, many of those people choose to work outside NZ, then decide to come back when it suits them (Covid) or are deported back here (while Labeen virtue signal how great that is, desperate to get the 501’s, ISIS bride family, here!). NZ has a big problem with more and more people from around the world assessing our generous welfare systems (in particular pensions and housing) while not having to contribute to it. Then there is the crime waves.
In spite of NZ having one of the highest mass migration rates in the world, our media keeps braying how they are switching migration off, damaging the country. This is also fuelled by economic kindergarten accounting of migration where one person leaving NZ is counted with one person coming in cancels out the true figures – or any accounting of skills levels coming and going. (brain drain was cancelled years ago). Thus we have experienced nurses leaving while a support worker coming into NZ, is counted as neutral.
Meanwhile 200,000 migrants have applied for NZ residence, this year, (half of them dependants) the government is seemingly oblivious to NZ not having enough housing, schooling or health care for the existing residents! https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/immigration/300600384/one-country-lags-in-new-residence-decisions-as-numbers-soar
Greens voted that foreign pensioners should be allowed to keep generous NZ pensions which clearly NZ can’t afford, thus burdening non younger people with this problem. Youth have self expression and individuality forced down their throats (gender, identity, race) with Rogernomics, rather than having any responsibility to society or the planet, outside of woke identity that has taken over.
This is wonderful for consumerism! From Marama virtue signalling Whittakers chocolate bars with Te reo to Watties advertising to new migrants that putting tomato sauce on their corn cobs as well as everything else at NZ BBQ’s is the way to go. Yipee, new consumers to be indoctrinated into their product lines, daily!
To have a society function, most people of working age have to work, but in NZ our employers seemingly sack the better workers already working for decades, while crying crocodile tears for more newbie migrant workers (cheaper/more compliant?) to replace them. https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/wellington/129793175/rest-home-worker-dismissed-for-helping-man-off-toilet-the-wrong-way
Labeen seem to lap this, bake and switch, up, making NZ wokeforce even more dysfunctional and seemingly not having any clue, what is going on. Where did all these migrants they were keen to get into NZ go, why do big business love it so much and what wokeforce is expected to look after the migrants with all the promotion of takeouts and consumption, how do we pay for significant people on low wages at record levels (200,000 per year) who need everyone else to support them?
What do we do when woke tribunals refuse to deport criminals, terrorists and grant the dysfunctional more and more leaves to stay in NZ to victimise others or require huge amounts of care that existing citizens increasingly are sidelined on?
“More actual change.”
Is anything less than the complete destruction of our economic system and a rapid reduction in the number of homo sapiens roaming around going to save the other species we currently share this planet with and save the current ecosystems which we all inhabit.
So far that is not on any political party agenda.
It’s all very well blaming the Greens for not being transformative re climate change, but I think we are at the point where that is a cop out. What about the other parties? Is it the politicians to blame or do they reflect how stupid large parts the population are? Stupid comments like, there is no point in trying, or it’s all a myth, or what about milk powder etc., etc.
I have heard those that have a faith discredit evolution due to humans being ‘superior’ and how could we possibly have evolved from primates etc. I think we prove every f*cking day how infinitely stupid we are as a species.
I am a boomer so perhaps my opinion is not relevant as I will be shuffled off this plant before the shit really hits the fan.However for what it is worth history shows that while humans can be very stupid and selfish they can be adaptable to change and inovatIve and caring.
One point to ponder is if someone is worried about if they have shelter and food for themselves and their families they do not have the time to worry about the climate or care if the food they eat is organic . That is not to say they do not care .
As a country we must get people educated and in high paying work either using their brains or their brawn then more will worry about the climate and we do not have long before they need to
