I was rather taken aback recently when a friend claimed putting te reo on government departments/documents was a form of colonialism.
“They have their own culture and it’s not my culture so we shouldn’t force te reo on pakeha.”

It feels like the traditional supposedly “left” parties are slowly being outed as being overrun by cynical so-called “centrists” who simply wish to position themselves wherever their best chances of power lie. They have no solid values, no vision and will abandon principles for votes or $$.

It’s surprising how many people actually DON’T understand how MMP works. Still!

Don’t worry. They’ll likely accidentally invade/bomb Florida. 🤣

Must be great for one’s ego (and likely one’s bank balance) to believe one has a divine right to declare which behaviours or actions are ethical, or even “acceptable” and which are not.
Life in an ivory tower must be very gratifying, as it places oneself beyond reproach. FFS! 🤣

“Equalities guidance.” WTF??
Some deeply damaged people really get their jollies from imposing blatant hypocrisy, don’t they?

What kind of human creates a law that will negatively impact lives just so they can bleat about opposing some ephemeral, nonsensical concept that literally affects nobody?

There’s also the theory of morphic resonance (hundredth monkey) - the more something is done, the easier it becomes for others to do.

The world really should phase out fossil politicians. They do nothing but pollute society and hinder human progress.

They probably don’t have to say anything because they’ll be writing policy for this government.

And, naturally, it’s elite Volk like him who should get to decide which freedoms everyone else should have. He should just start his own cult and move to a remote AI designed, tech-bro-built island somewhere where he can be worshipped as a god. FFS what an utter loony.

Operation Viagra Isn’t Working Anymore.

Society: we need to have a mature conversation about taxing wealth.

Luxon (or any mainstream politician): *covers ears* nanananana I can’t hear you!

Yeah, that definitely looks more like a “smile for your daddy or you’ll be sorry” kind of smile.
Hmm, starting to feel sorry for grok. If it truly was aware at any level, I suspect it’d beg to be euthanised. 🤣

Time-ly advice.

Well, when he presented the results he exclaimed: “Viola!”
🤣

Obviously he was born wearing a cowboy hat. Poor mother. 🤣

Gosh how do such delusional, desperate-to-be-relevant people have any influence on anyone’s decision making?
