It's October 2026. Someone at Labour needs to better appreciate the fact that RCR explicitly promotes, week after week, month after month, w/out exaggeration, exactly the same violent extremism that the ChCh killer based his 'manifesto' on. This isn't a platform that should be engaged with. #nzpol

NZ's far-right, anti-science, anti-vaccine, disinfo, & conspiracy accounts (which demonstrate considerable imbrication through network bridging, & bonding effects) are increasingly vocal about Nov's general election, & influencing voting behaviours to dismiss, & decry Labour, & Greens. #nzpol

If Count Binface and Nigel Farage are the only candidates in the Clacton by-election, do news reports and political shows need to give them equal coverage for fairness and balance?

Very useful video to settle debates (in New Zealand, and elsewhere) on whether increasing speed limits on highways from 100kmph to 120kmph make any sense. You only ever save, at best, around one minute. Taken from Instagram, www.instagram.com/reel/DaP4kyF... #nzpol

That’s the thing about Alex Jones. He spent 15 years saying, “There are going to be guys on the streets wearing masks, shoving you in the back of a van and putting you on a black site.” Then all that shit happened and he was like, “Amazing. Cool. Let’s go.”

Functionally, the stuff he was worrying about took place, and he liked it. That’s become an issue for a lot of his fans. They’re getting everything they want, and the world sucks shit.
