I think the Auckland CRL has shown Kiwis love trains. And now the Greens step in and say “What about the CRL, but for the whole country?” And people, who remember love the CRL, are saying “Yes! Choo choo motherfucker!”, and hopefully choo choo motherfucker we shall. #nzpol

'Piggy bank is empty' nonsense provides cover for the political class. Once the lie is exposed, they have to answer questions like 'If we have 100,000s of people wanting work, and plenty of raw materials, why is our infrastructure falling to bits? Sounds like mismanagement, ay? (It is!)

The craziest thing about elections is seeing how many grown adults have been tricked into thinking that their tax money going towards public services that serve them is a bad thing and not the point of taxes. People proudly living worse lives because theyve been convinced a better life is "woke"

Chloe Swarbrick says she wants Finance. The reaction from the right has been very emotional. I feel for them. “Do you really want her steering the economy?” they say... Very little explanation of what, specifically, she would get wrong. Luckily Lacan has a theory about that. #nzpol

Lets not forget that Palestine is still undergoing a genocide. It's not gone away. The press has stopped talking about it and people are forgetting the horror of it all. That's how people become manipulated.

The answer to "Does Israel have a right to exist?" Is NO. It was setup on stolen land given by one colonial invader to another and Genocide was their first action when they arrived. It has NEVER had a right to exist.

Nicky Hager book is unusual because its main thesis seems to be "they are just doing all this bad faith money-for-racism stuff in plain sight and the media don't seem to perceive it as bad" Media: "Hmm this Hager book has no revelations in it, we knew all this already, oh well carry on as normal"

If you're wondering why the media will give Farrar, Williams a good old run at denying everything without being specific or proving anything, it's because Hager criticises the media for their uncritical platforming of both of them and calls them lazy which is 100% correct.
Hager also criticised the media's role, suggesting it contributed to poor transparency.

"Despite all their undeclared political machinations, both Farrar and Williams are often interviewed uncritically in the mainstream media - far more often than most genuinely independent experts and commentators.

"At the time of writing, for instance, Radio New Zealand had interviewed Farrar about 600 times since 2007, an astonishing amount of coverage considering that he is one of the least independent people available. He is often introduced with labels such as 'polling company maestro', while Williams is given labels such as 'anti-waste campaigner'. It is lazy journalism."

It is objectively true that America is worse than Al-Qaeda. That may make you sad or angry to hear it, but the US killed over a million people in Iraq and Afghanistan. It tripple tapped a girls school in Iran. That is terrorism and the US is a rogue terrorist state.

The thing is, it's not even controversial to say that a Genocide is happening in Palestine. The UN has issued a report confirming this. When the massacre started, it was somewhat controversial but at this point, it's a fact. Opinions are not facts, regardless of what the opinionated would say.
