The manner in which ‘news’ in NZ has descended into click bait using social media as the source is lazy, vacuous and under funded journalism at best, but allowing a crypto-facist who’s been on his best behaviour while under numerous legal defamation cases to once again lead the mainstream media is dangerous.
When it was poor brown kids, Muddle Nu Zilind screamed it was the parents fault. Now it’s the white middle classes, notice how quiet those voices have become.
I think 30 years of rampant neoliberal consumerism has created an ocean of wage slaves who buy sparkly things in sterile malls to numb the hollowness of a culture that knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
I’m no theologian, but I think speaking to money is about the weirdest, grossest, least spiritual thing anyone pretending to be a Bishop could ever admit to.
The truth is that a majority of NZers would keep the bleeding butchers apron and its stained history over Key’s vacant brand vomit of a weetbix packet with All Black product placement. Key’s flag represented 300000 kids in poverty, housing bubbles, wages going backwards in real terms and entire swathes of society living as wage slaves.
I don’t think Key’s people didn’t know it was illegal – they knew – they were just trying it on, because that’s what we have in John Key, a Prime Minister who just tries it on.
We have the SIS being investigated for aiding the CIA torture rendition programs, why can’t Mateparae who was ultimately in charge of the troops that handed over civilians to known torture units also be investigated for what was a clear breach of the Geneva Convention?
Part of brand Key is that John Key don’t hang around no losers, even when that loser is himself…
I think Wicked Campers are a tasteless, gross, needlessly offensive trash can of a company. The sexist rape culture crap they decorate some of their shitty cars in requires creative vandalism to sort them out. But is that really the big issue in Tourism?
…Key’s appeal is that he’s not like the other politicians which is true, in so much as no other Politician before him has abused power to the levels he and his Office have.
