Honestly why is BM's blatant, deliberate trolling tolerated around here? Doesn't seem to add much.
Great opportunity for Labour to use their close ties in the Maori seats to emphasise they're a party for all New Zealand not just narrowminded Pakeha.
" Sometimes you have to see what the background is and what effect it is having, and if triangulation and tacking to the middle is a legitimate tactic." No you don't. Triangulation's been tried, failed, tried again, failed, tried again, failed, tried again...
There we go. "I don't know if it's a bullying, invasive, counter-freedom move to assemble a doxxing database of every verfiied Twitter user, because Wikileaks suggested it and I, Colonial Viper cannot find fault with Wikileaks" Can't argue with religious ...
So it makes it okay for Russia to interfere in US elections? You have a weird morality about this politics thing. If no one got executed, it's okay for authoritarian regimes like the Saudis to have damaging information about them. If a country you don't ...
And you among other authors here have been actively involved in whitewashing the brutality of Assad's regime and implying that anyone who thinks he's a genocidal monter is uninformed and brainwashed.
It’s not about the individual being the Prime Miniter, it’s about respect for the Treaty of Waitangi. -- Fixed it for you.
No, but you are implying that people who oppose Assad are stupid chumps swallowing a "script" about Syrian resistance. It's close enough.
No one said "lesser of two evils". The point is Clinton DOES have problems, but Trumps are WORSE. The problem is people like CV keep acting like ONLY Clinton has problems.
Giovanni Tiso isn't even mentioned on the page you link to. Can you actually substantiate anything you've said on this thread, "Morrissey"?
"Everyone who opposes Assad is ISIS!" sounds a lot like "Everyone who criticises Trump and Wikileaks are just bitter Hillary fans!"
Look at "Morrissey" throwing around insults "they" can't back up again. Or is it only OK to make baseless accudsations from behind a pseudonym when you do it? :roll:
Not if you read their Twitter feed any time in the past year.
"Establishment smear"? Simple question, CV. Did Wikileaks reveal individuals' personal information which outed them as gay? If yes: they put gay men at risk in one of the most oppressive regimes in the world. Open your eyes and have the courage to admit ...
So corrupt power doesn't matter as long as it isn't used? Your principles get weirder by the day.
No fan of Clinton me. But it's very convenient for you to assume anyone questioning your senpai is just bitter because they lost. Means you can avoid all these pesky questions like "why is Wikileaks sucking up to the most powerful man in the world"?>
There we go. No concern at all for at-risk people whose lives are at risk from an authoritarian government because they're not serving your idol's agenda.
How did it "reveal what those who have their hands on the levers of power are thinking and doing" when Wikileaks doxed nearly every woman in Turkey, or outed gay men in Saudi Arabia who might face the death penalty? You can cry "CIA psyops!!!" all you like...
Whatever good Wikileaks might have done in the past, its slavish adoration of Trump and Putin means it's useless. Can't really be a handbrake on power while you're blowing the guys in the driver's seat.
Labour's figures are never treated the same way at National's. It's been this way for nine years but apparently we never learn. Definition of insanity is ...
Pretty appalling post. The people who are going to suffer from a Trump presidency don't look like us, AD. I get its currently the fashion to be clever and find silver linings in the election of a genuine fascist to the most powerful job in the world but it...
Wouldn't be surprised if people were saying much the same stuff about the industrial revolution, buthere we still are working sixty-hour-weeks for a pittance. Where's the will to lead the change instead of waiting for the machines to come for us all?
Hear hear.
Amen, also the need to stop obsessing about costings. Forecasting the costs of any policy is so subjective the Gnats will always be able to rip it apart so why give them ammunition?
You have heard of smartphones right? Those things people use to take notes on or livetweet events as they're happening? No no it's definitely a conspiracy. You weren't the person who asked in one session how Labour should 'attack' the media, are you?. ...
Better to be there as a political newshack than an ordinary member. At least they were spared, sitting through pointless policy argumetns knowing the 2 union guys with 50 votes between them would make all the decisions.
Hardly the kind of thunderbolt we need going into an election year. Exactly the kind of scheme the Gnats would roll out with a side order of bootcamps. Where's the democratic socialist government in waiting we need?
The benefit isn't even calculated to 'cover basic needs'. It's been deliberately below the amount needed to survive for years.
No surprises there. Everyone wants to go hooray hooray for Micky Savage and pretend the 80s didn't occur and aren't still a barrier to the entire socialist project.
Many Islamic nations don't have laws prohibiting homosexuality. By sheer coincidence, these are all the Islamic nations which weren't subjected to European colonialism. Maybe we should stamp out Westminster law too while we're at it.
Way too convenient. Who'd leak to Bomber Bradbury? The man's a disaster.
