ACT’s performative FedFoke virtual signalling

Leaving aside the party politics for a moment, can I just say as someone who does housework, lives in the country and wears gumboots most of the year, this image is cringe af. You take your dirty boots off at the door, ya numpties.

The image is from an ACT party tweet that says,

A new annual tradition began in Parliament today, with Mark Cameron winning special permission for rural MPs to wear gumboots in a show of solidarity with farmers.

The party that champions the culture war rhetoric that calls liberals and lefties performative, virtual-signalling wokesters, is engaging in performative, virtual-signalling FedFoke-ism.

But hey, if you want to send a message of solidarity with the model of industrial farming that is intent on destroying the environment, two pairs of dirty boots on some nice lean carpet might just be the trick.

Meanwhile, if I want to watch someone playing at being a farmer, this is more my style. We miss you more than ever John Clarke.
