If the NZDF’s obfuscation turns out to have been inspired by American sensitivities regarding the part played by their helicopter gunship/s (and its/their supposedly defective gunsight/s) in killing Tirgiran villagers, then the painfully restored relationship between New Zealand and its “very, very, good” American friends will come under strain.
The window of opportunity is fast closing to get the taxation of housing right.
I don’t think our gun nut community have appreciated how the rest of us have tolerated their fetish and that after the white supremacist atrocity in Christchurch, we aren’t tolerating it any longer.
The vast majority of those who have attempted suicide will of course be broken men. The twitter feminists will scream they’re all rapists, the trans activists will scream they’re all transphobic, Green MPs will engage in competitive outrage olympics to show how many more threats they’ve received, woke activists will decry all males as free speech Nazis while The Spinoff writers will compete in a tournament of who hates men the most.
Then we wonder why men self harm and destroy themselves in the vast numbers they do. It is clear to anyone and everyone that something terribly wrong has happened to men and our sense of collective masculinity.
