The lack of outcry from the people of NZ to a war crime signed off by their precious John Key that killed and maimed 21 is one thing but the feral scream of Hager and Stephenson hate speaks to something far more damaged in the NZ psyche that can only be cauterised by global shaming.
What people are really saying when they attack Nicky and Jon is ‘shut up about our murder and maiming of innocents, we not only prefer to be ignorant, we prefer to not even have to be confronted by our abuses of power’.
The National Party have been intent on killing off public broadcasting because the fewer media sources that are trying to hold the Government to account, the better for them.
We are a country with hollow jobs propped up by part time work.
Welcome to the Precariat.
TV3 have attempted to make current affairs for people who listen to the Edge, the problem is that generation doesn’t watch TV. So TV3 have alienated Gen X and Boomers who want actual current affairs at 7pm to gain a generational audience who don’t bother with the platform TV3 are using.
National have borrowed billions in tax cuts for the rich, stripped state assets and privatised its social obligations. The long term goal of the National Party is to mutilate the States capacity to raise revenue so that it simply can’t fund the social infrastructure the Left call out for.
Key was in it for Key. He didn’t give a damn about the country, he only cared about being loved by the sleepy hobbits of muddle Nu Zilind, and Christ did they love him. His laid back anti-intellectualism allowed NZers with property to not care about those who didn’t. He made it okay to not care about the poor, the homeless, the vulnerable. He made it ok to not have to ask hard or deeper questions. He made it ok to not give a fuck and be as selfish as he was.
New Zealand, your political, military and media class have lied to you about an atrocity and possible war crime that we have carried out and was signed off by the Prime Minister.
…remember the NZ Military and Government are still claiming nothing happened here and there doesn’t need to be an inquiry.
…this morning the NZ Herald had a story about Justin Bieber dancing sexily with an old woman as a bigger story than Key being complicit in a war crime.
