Deconstructing Headlines

The last thing National needed was a reminder that they’ve done nothing to prepare our infrastructure  for the growth they’ve generated.

Who are the real snowflakes? Who are the people in NZ who are in such denial about their impact on the rest of us that they desperately need safe spaces because they’ll scream micro aggression if confronted with their behaviour?

Saudi Arabia crucifies human beings – just think about that for a second. Do we really want a free trade deal with a country that crucifies human beings? To be told that we not only are attempting to in fact cut a free trade deal with a country that whips women for being raped, we fucking well spent $11.5 million trying to bribe these buggers to get that trade deal!

…what van Beynen has stumbled upon in his tour is a basic truth from the generational backlash of the 30 year neoliberal experiment. 

‘Youth’ is no longer an age. It is a class.

Labour is removing National’s tax scare mongering plan by announcing today that there will be no new taxes until after 2020…

Rise up and demand another way, rise up and force change, rise up and never let these rich pricks trade our dignity for their illusions of wealth.
