Seriously though, they’ve tanked the economy and crashed the dollar, so everything that is imported is at least 10% more expensive and anything that is exported the domestic market is competing with way higher buying power abroad. Interest rates No wage growth Etc… Numpties

So who pays Ben Thomas to lie? In @ninetonoonrnz.bsky.social his opening statement was a lie. Luxon die say in parliament that Hipkins should cry him a river when pointing out the struggles of many voters under the Luxon government . No one should believe anything Thomas says after that.

People who call this techno-feudalism are wrong: feudal lords still had obligations to their serfs, enforced by courts. Excommunication was on the table & it was taken seriously. Colonists have zero obligations to the colonized. Working the inferior beings to death, mass murder, all authorized.

...all backed by the belief that the colonizers are inherently superior beings with the right to rule us, steal from us, deny our humanity & violate any laws/norms that inconvenience them. They no longer invoke the divine right of kings: now they claim superiority via science ("high-T alpha males").

AI is a colonialist project, which is why many of its leaders are literally trying to colonize Earth & outer space. Hallmarks of colonialism: * getting rich via expropriation (theft as below) * exploitation (cf: participation in AI bros' simulated-rape galas as a condition of career advancement)

Thanks for your service, Nicky Hager Let's not forget the last time Hager unveiled the dirty underbelly of #NZ politics & media, that Matthew Hooton (Editor in Chief,The Post) & David Farrar doxxed Hager's personal address in the hope rich Chinese would "chop chop" him #dirtywork #NickyHager

The pro-crypto CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate after every single Democrat (and four Republicans) voted it down. Reminder: crypto is a giant Ponzi scheme. Its only practical uses are for fraud, speculation, and crime. Glad to see Congress wake up to reality.

Teachers and doctors are losing the ability to self-regulate. What are the risks?
New laws will give ministers control of previously independent regulatory bodies in education and health, potentially undermining their public advocacy roles.

The Prime Minister of the Jewish state is committing war crimes. To say that holding him accountable for that is in some way a personal attack on American Jewish identity says deeply troubling things about American Jewish identity. If that makes me less safe, he should stop doing war crimes.

Our NZ Medical Journal editorial highlights Health Minister Simeon Brown‘s political interference in the Medical Council. His decision not to reappoint its chair and deputy chair reflects a broader ideological rejection of evidence by this government that threatens patient safety.

Half of the votes National has lost since the election have gone to NZF, so National has to say NZF will go with Labour. Half of NZF new votes have come from National, so NZF has to rule out Labour (at least until the day after the election). This dynamic will repeat until election day

Oh. My. God. Someone tell Willis who National’s coalition partner is, that they chose that partner, and that they will almost certainly choose that partner again should the votes fall that way. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
Nicola Willis has launched a broadside at Winston Peters, saying he has a "track record of picking Labour over National, and that's the risk you run with him".She went on to say that Labour was "choosing to get into bed with the party that referred to Indians choosing to come to New Zealand as a 'butter chicken tsunami'".
