If we have a minimum age of 18, should we perhaps have a maximum age of (say) 60? Do fuck off. It's become increasingly clear that the self-absorbed denizens of Wokedom (& their opportunistic fellow-travellers) don't have a democratic bone in their ...
Sorry, you've lost me there ... have no idea what you're talking about.
. Still working through your grief over Rogernomics Does that actually mean anything ? It appears to have no relationship whatsoever to anything I've written here over recent years. Just some desperate, random, half-hearted stab at something - anything - ...
. Yep ... but it'll fall on deaf ears ... tragically, the main institutions of the Left have been slowly but surely captured & transformed into an Upper-Middle Vanity Project with a decidedly elitist & undemocratic bent. With their enthusiastic embrace of ...
. Tory Whanau, of course, the perfect example of a Party Apparatchik turned Corporate Lobbyist in that revolving door of vested interests that just keeps on a-spinnin'.
As it us, ... There's those horrendous Kiwi flat vowels again. Bugger ut, I'm off to gut some fush & chups.
. Moral Panics & Purity Spirals ... the same hysteria we so often see with Wokedom. Happens when segments of the Establishment - esp those within the Professional-Managerial Class who are both psychologically fragile & from relatively privileged ...
. What's behind the Govt's fall from grace ? (1) Cost of living + (2) Covid shine suddenly fading (putting spotlight back on Govt's core weaknesses/failures) + (3) Woke excesses/extremism [esp the attacks (largely by stealth until forced into the open) on ...
. Once again your crude dogmatic insularity confuses the: (1) scapegoating, elite self-interest, blatant discriminatory policies, authoritarianism & cultural extremism of the Upper-Middle Woke Vanity Project with (2) genuine Social Democratic principles of...
. Presumably the same Urs Signer deeply immersed in the Urewera paramilitary training camps of 2005-07 ? … one of the fantasist nutters running about in military uniform with unlawful possession of lethal firearms & restricted weapons and allegedly talking...
. Blimey ! You appear to be the first tragically-smug Woke dogmatist here to conspicuously break ranks from the well-rehearsed narrative that Vitamin D is all part of some Far Right Trumpist conspiracy theory to deliberately perplex the hoi polloi who lack...
Far rather a feet-on-the-ground Eagle / Pannett combo than the alternative.
. Vaguely / unenthusiasitically / more-or-less republican on principle ... but, at the same time, I recognise the practical utility of a constitutional monarchy ... and I'm fiercely - and I want you to reflect extensively on this over the next few hours (...
Puritan Witchfinder-Generals don't need evidence ... their wild smears, baseless accusations & character assassination (from an absurdly presumed 'moral high-ground') should be more than enough. Any critic of the policies pursued by any powerful Iwi-led ...
. Don't pay too much mind to all the ludicrous Woke moral posturing, Anna, ... a small cadre of dogmatists here, along with their highly opportunistic fellow-travellers (who possess a consummate instinct for detecting where power & future self-interest lie...
Cheers ........... so presumably David Grant's biography was the immediate source (I see there's a chapter entitled 'Red Ken') ... the claim in turn probably emanating from either Grant's personal recollection, his research through newspaper archives or ...
. Several media outlets over recent days have referred to Ken Douglas as 'Red Ken' ... as if that were his widely-used nickname ... but, like Karl du Fresne, I can't ever remember anyone in the media or elsewhere (even Muldoon) calling him that in the 70s ...
Well said. Just to repeat my comment a day or two ago: Ken spent a great deal of his life fighting for the interests of working people in New Zealand, he was a leading figure in New Zealand industrial politics of the 70s & 80s … at the local level, he ...
. By an incredible coincidence, you would appear to be a 15 year old yourself ... and a particularly petty, sneering & resentful one at that. Raging hormones, I guess. Let me anticipate your reply ... Urghhh, I never asked to be born ! ... You're not the ...
. She stood out in such sharp relief because the background of our culture and society has become so clearly marked by the opposite qualities. Exhibitionism. Emotional incontinence. The elevation of outward appearances and tacky self-promotion over ...
. I mean ... just the sheer jaw-dropping confusion & cluelessness embedded within this - let's face it - tragically ill-conceived attempt at mockery. When people critique Wokedom ... it's about challenging a very specific set of extremist, highly ...
. How remarkably erudite of you to say so. Very Left bank of the Bloomsbury Set. I'm beginning to see you as a kind of Bavarian Noel Coward.
. Some really mean-spirited replies here ... the man's just died, his family is grieving ... have some respect. Ken spent a great deal of his life fighting for the interests of working people in New Zealand, he was a leading figure in New Zealand ...
RIP Ken Douglas.
. For chrissakes, spare us your drearily-predictable virtue-signaling, all the ludicrous moral & rhetorical posturing bereft of any genuine historical understanding outside of your crude, distorted quasi-religious dogma ... the constant desire for in-group...
. Typical misplaced sympathy from the fake left It's your jaw-dropping lack of self-awareness that gets me every single bloody time. But then, this does appear to be very much the Woke modus operandi ... accuse others of your own core, defining ...
Yes, can't speak for Shanreagh ... but I certainly started drinking heavily after reading Robert's outrageous "zee" comment. Two shandys down & now on to my third sarsaparilla.
. The class at the very heart of narcissistic, authoritarian Wokedom.
. If only Die Linke had had the good sense to listen to Wagenknecht's trenchant critique of its swing towards the cultural extremism of Woke bourgeois niche politics & its associated abandonment of working & lower-middle voters and what might be called ...
. without having the respite of the safe haven of home Exactly ... forced into constant severe stress, sleep deprivation & major personal safety concerns in their own home & neighbourhood (where they may have lived in peace for decades) ... regardless of ...
Cheers, Sabine.
