Stop pretending the guy is not well Left.
The point is it is academic.
Gilbert is a raving neo Marxist Leftie. lol: "Honourable mentions: The 94 percent of Israeli Jews, let’s call them evil wankers, who feel that the assault on Gaza is not ‘excessive’; people who live in Epsom for continually being wankers; and all of the ...
The public are rightly not going to fuss much about the gang member/gang associate differential. The public hates them justifiably and are likely to perceive a pointy head academic sociologist as a bleeding heart Lefty type suffering from Stockholm ...
Add to that the Herald story on most common last names of new borns in Auckland - nearly all Asian with a school photo of 10 kids with only 1 white face. Apparently that = 'diversity', it is more like ethnic cleansing.
You use South Auckland as your example, why not use other cities then if you think the problem is as bad all over NZ - how about some of those 'zombie towns'? By selecting only the poorest suburbs in the city with the craziest property bubble ( approaching...
This housing affordability is basically an Auckland issue then isn't it? Compared to property prices the rent is actually very low yield in Auckland, and landlords would like to increase rents a lot more to reflect this but maybe income limits of tenants ...
Men can only ever be apparatchiks in the Femmosphere apparatus, they are not allowed the status of Nomenklatura.
There are too many using the DPB as a tax payer financed life style choice. How do you propose reducing that expense? There are million other things that tax payer money can go on - education, health, conservation, infrastructure, R&D etc etc.
Well if you have given up on middle NZ, aren't you preaching to the converted? I guess this is more a mobilisation campaign to get the true believers out on voting day, which is fair enough. As a tax payer I want to know who the fathers are of these kids I...
But your shouting vote Left so that includes Labour and the slogan "Vote Positive".
The real schism in the Labour Part is between the traditional working class and the academic Identity Politics crowd - the latter having a strangle hold on the Labour Party which is a shadow of its former self.
Wow, just wow, you really have been triggered.
You can thank the Post Modernists for the meaningless of language these days, they are after all the bastard children of 'Progressive' Left Neo Marxist ideology.
Your Far Left ideology is grounded in the philosophy of Marxism, with its "class consciousness", "class conflict" and some future "workers paradise" type utopia.
Who are you kidding? The meme has always been white oppressors vs the oppressed ethnics, Comrade Weepy.
Seriously? Its always been about white vs the rest. So it does bring into question hypothetically that Whyte really is racist if he is married to someone of African descent and has kids too...
Go put your Stalinist comrade uniform on - oh hang on, you are already wearing it. [lprent: I suggest that you read the policy. You appear to be wearing a troll uniform. Lets be nice and imagine that it is like this... This is your one warning about being ...
Everyone is accusing Jamie Whyte from the Act Party of being a racist. Hypothetically speaking, if his partner was black, like I mean black black, would that change anything? [lprent: Everybody? Don't be a fool. There are usually thousands of people ...
To Colonial Viper above ( the reply link is missing in your post again ) - The Jews need their own country after what happened to them, you can not deny that. Unfortunately it ended up on the Palestinians when probably it should have been part of Germany ...
Actually my bad, I missed Finkelstein's sarcasm in the title - it was kind of obscure and the article posted without comment. You may call it "ethnic cleansing" but neither of these two groups want to live with each other - way to much blood under the ...
You are right, my mistake, however Finkelstein does make some of his titles obscure and posts the article without comment in this case.
You logic is exactly the same, you have interchanged it.
Finkelstein seems to approve and he isnt exactly a rabid right wing supporter of Israel is he?
More interesting Finkelstein has approvingly posted an article that basiclly sums up what I think needs to happen: "The only durable solution requires dismantling Gaza, humanitarian relocation of the non-belligerent Arab population, and extension of ...
What Israel is doing is not entirely defensible, but it is understandable. Perhaps if they hadn't been on the receiving end of endless vicious beatings culminating in the attempt to exterminate them entirely in Europe, the Jews wouldn't have needed their ...
To bring some balance to the issue: "In Berlin, police had to step in to protect an Israeli tourist couple at the weekend after protestors turned on them when they spotted the man’s yarmulke. Demonstrators reportedly charged towards the couple shouting “...
To Colonial Viper above ( for some reason the reply link is not showing up on your latest posts ) - Divorce has been made much easier in NZ thanks to 'no fault' style law changes that swept Western countries during the 60s and 70s. If you think I am lying,...
I think the Demographia index is the best measurement - this from a NZ Herald article beginning of this year: "The Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey out today showed prices up $54,900 annually and median household incomes falling by $...
Auckland is driving house prices higher, most of the provinces are flat. There are lots of forces involved - tax incentives, bank practices, population growth, land restrictions, Auckland geography. Should Auckland keep growing exponentially, even at 2% ...
You are avoiding the point - its not about understanding demographics but whether rigging parliament to reflect demographic percentages produces better representation.
