Destroyed the local community economic loops and healthy school lunches, force feeding kids disgusting Compass Group swill. She is a merchant of slop. RNZ ascribing "non partisan" to the motivations of her new astroturf org is an extraordinary confirmation of everything in the Dirty Work book.

Email subject lines that make sure I'm definitely going to ignore your email:
An email. The sender is "Chlöe | Green Party". The subject line is "Please don't ignore this email, Dillon". The preview line is "or the chance to have your gift matched"

The quite visible jealousy and loathing the "Write whatever my contacts email me about" journos have towards the "Reveal serious wrongdoing" journos is made funnier when you remember the first type genuinely think they're Woodward and Bernstein because they receive tips from MPs.

The new AstroTurf, Parents Alliance, is laughably wrong about their core assertions. Like clearly what they want is to introduce market competition to schooling (sounds great right) but they can't even get the facts right, I want to focus on this assertion first. 1/4 FURTHERMORE HIPKINS MUST RESIGN

yourtax.nz has had a few updates today: - Compulsory Kiwisaver policies are now included in wage/salary calculations. - Tweaks to make it clearer that positive dollar values mean less tax/more in your pocket. - Parties with no announcements show as $?? #nzpol

Compare your tax under every party
See how much more or less you’d have in your pocket under each party’s plan, compared to today.

1/200 discord has receipts calling this at least from 2022 in response to people wondering who was advising Luxon. Burgess was an NZ Initiative plant & the entryism across the National Party, and government, specifically to dismantle public services has been extensive, destructive and *predictable*

Western excess is going to end voluntarily or as a result of polycrisis. There's no political or cultural power strong enough to keep the gravy train flowing and it'd be nice to see more politicians begin to get serious about redistributive degrowth.

A scroll through Bishops posting history is enough to void him as any ally of anyone who even pretends at moderate social or economic centrism, let alone leftism. He is, at best, an ecological fascist.

i guess the other thing to note about this, is it reveals somewhat the extent to which powerful people avoid paper trails so that there is less transparency and accountability. what else gets treated in this way?

One of the greatest indictments of Ardern's political project is how she's distanced herself from NZ politics despite leveraging her time as prime minister for increasingly vast personal gain and to grow recognition abroad. Sort of a political version of startups in NZ that just aim to be bought out

The reason techbroes are scared of AGI is it'll completely invalidate them as a class, there's no need for tech billionaires if we have general intelligences that can make impartial decisions. This is why they want to develop and control any potential for singularity, so it can be slaved to them

It's legitimately shocking how few people have even a passing understanding of the second world war. There's not really any excuse esp given even western history from the 1990s has generally been more balanced (noteworthy exceptions such as Beevor).

“That you knew that Ray Chung shared sexual and salacious gossip about a woman he worked with and still believed he should be in control of recommending appointments to boards shows abysmal judgement.” Little should reflect on Dr Mudgway’s statement & consider his role in misogny in public life.

In Birnham Wood there's zero mention of maaori in the text for the first third but then two leftist characters have a chat where one talks about the group needing a Reo name for business purposes and another says having a Te Reo name is cultural appropriation and ok maybe I gotta give Catton a pass

I'm not saying this as like a damning judgement but like it's pretty clear what appropriation is when a game like Horizon Zero Dawn can draw so directly from so many indigenous cultures yet not be playable in any indigenous languages

The men who refuse to accept this is a systemic problem and who believe there’s no such thing as society are always the first to whine and grievance troll about NZ schools being too female dominated and blame society for presenting men as toxic.
