ACT social media moves from frenetic Incel hot takes to Milton Friedman namaste
David Seymour says ACT ‘fixing the system, not finding someone to blame’
David Seymour says the ACT Party wants to win the “cultural argument” for free markets, deregulation, and entrepreneurship over the “whingers” who “see every problem through the lens of blame”.
As Seymour reads to take over as Deputy PM, ACT are moving away from frenetic Incel hot takes to Free Market wellness mantras.
It’s less, ‘Maaaaaaaaaaares is getting too much’ to ‘Milton Friedman namaste’.
After a 6 month race baiting hate tour that literally ripped the fabric of the country apart needlessly, David is rebranding as a Free Market Well Being Influencer.
I’m not sure it’s going to work because all punters need to point out is that David claimed that the Māori Chiefs who signed the Treaty would support him…
…he also claimed Nelson Mandela would support him…
David Seymour’s claim Nelson Mandela would campaign for Act rubbished by grandson
…and then he said that Jesus Christ, yes, THAT Jesus Christ, the beloved Son of God Almighty, would have supported ACT….
Jesus ‘very well might support Act’, leader David Seymour says
Act leader David Seymour believes Jesus may have supported his party, and would get the tick of endorsement were he to come back and run for Auckland or Wellington’s Mayoralty.
…y-e-a-h.
So now David’s pretending to be a Free Market Oracle who will argue allowing property rights to trump human rights as a ‘solution’ that no one needs to get as angry about.
What Seymour is truly attempting to signal is a move out of culture war grievances (Winston is owning those now) into Free Market Theology because those ACT supporters who backed the cross burning tour are appreciating how getting painted out as naked rednecks is damaging their cross over appeal to the middle right voters they need to consolidate their current power base.
Free Market Aspirational posters are needed so ACT supporters can take off the Klan whites and slip into some libertarian casual Fridays attire so as not not spook the National Party voters they are trying to seduce.
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 only cultural argument Seymour is interested in is normalizing the lifestyle of his mates like Tim Jago.
The Maori party dont speak for all Maori.
Me included.
Yeah, only the morally and mentally sound ones.
To be fair Zelda also says Jesus Christ supports ACT so that is two right wing zealots that we know of.
David Seymour said he did not want to ban swastikas because he wanted to be able to identify idiots.
By this token I believe those who believe in Christ’s endorsement for ACT should identify themselves publicly. They could wear patches saying:
‘ Blessed are the poor for they shall provide the low waged labour for obscene profits’
‘The meek shall inherit sweet fuck all because they are not assertive enough’
‘God so loved the world that he sent Milton Friedman to keep corporations wealthy’.
‘Wealth from above shall trickle down upon the meek and humble.’
‘The Lord saith,’ Shut up and stop whinging bottom feeders.’
‘David, Christopher and Winston are the Holy Trinity.’
‘ The rich shall have private healthcare and the poor can get fucked’
