If anyone wishes to educate themselves about the Sovreign Citizen movement, Münecat deep-dives SovCits around the world. A well-researched, comprehensive explanation of the wads of paperwork they wave around. As usual, 1.5x speed gets you through it faster...
Molly, links 1.and 3. lead to blank spaces for me. I don't have access to sidebar options in TS. 2. I read this and it is one viewpoint from one UN advocate. She has her opinion, but I happen to disagree that the GC movement is in any way silenced, ...
Thanks for the article. Next time I suggest you read past the headline and first few paragraphs quoting National's cherry-pick. There is plenty of info there that sounds reasonable about the spend. Can't make a judgement call on bookcase and wardrobe, but ...
lprent, the quote below, from a philiosophical examination of Stock says it all: "Why and how do social media and allied platforms have this potential for distorting genuine communicative action? First, they enable new manipulative communication practices,...
Thanks for the answer, anker, that's more than I have had before. Do I think Sarah Jane Barker is okay saying punch a TERF? No, but I find the person behind the 'torturer/murderer/self-castrator' whoopwhoop in the UK tabloid press to be a very human person...
Trump-like cult, then, as I listed, where the cult leader can say no wrong. Alternate facts. You can replace Hitler with Trump in my comment with no loss of meaning. If you watched Fox News or UK GB, pumping out anti-Ardern vitriol in 2020-21, yes you ...
Can't see anything on the MinEd website since the 2020 refreshed sexual health and relationship curriculum. Which would have been written in 2019 at the latest. 'At primary school children are likely to learn about: the human body and its growth and ...
Do you support Posie Parker's statement that trans men should be sterilised?
There was no indication that the tweet link was to a video clip. I commented on the tweet content you quoted which appeared to be Paglia's words. As you had no further exposition, that's all many here can see. WSYWG.
Tra just means 'trans rights activist' in TERF language. I closely watched videos analysed on BigHairyNews of the incident from different angles. Just looked like a bog standard young man in standard top and pants (the person is 20 and from Tauranga). The ...
Yes I did give a link to the cult label applied to Parker Posie. In fact it was a post at womens liberation aotearoa just before PP arrived that called the support for her cult-like. Not my words. I think it's fair to say there is a Trump- or Hitler-type ...
Perhaps you missed the post from weka about twitter being opaque to many now. If you want to post the clip, you will have to go to the source, not through twitter. Otherwise we only have your invective filled quote from the tweet.
That Sarah Jane Barker is a whole person with passionate beliefs and a hard-won life. SJB talks prisons with Shaun Attwood. She is part of a prison abolition organisation (as well as sex worker). I don't expect you to listen to the whole thing at all (I ...
My comment at 5.2.2.1 described what I see in those comments at TS that start with an anti-trans 'news' story, then predictably checklist the 1-4 stages I numbered (sometimes Posie gets a miss). This is pattern that occurs here weekly, if not more. This ...
BigHairyNews deconstruct van Velden's version of this story, as misrepresented by her on TVNZ Breakfast on Monday. Complete with court sentencing outcomes. "#BHN ACTs three step process to sowing dis and misinformation"
Sarah Jane Barker was initially sent to prison at the age of 20 for 7 years for badly beating up her step-mother's brother. Her father physically and emotionally brutalised his family, her mother and step-mothers. When SJB was identified in prison as trans...
But Paglia's tweet you post is invective-filled abuse, and progresses no argument. It's irrelevant that she's an Ivy League graduate. Looking at her wiki, you do know she calls herself transgender and says she was dysphoric and never thought of herself as ...
Tried to read a book of Paglia's once when she first appeared as the latest wunderkind. I gave up, it was full of the most misogynistic rubbish. One thing she ain't, in her own words, and that's a feminist, out there for women.
Lovely, another transphobic burst, complete with 1. overseas UK schlock-horror story, which may or may not be true, about one out of the 100,000 or so UK trans women 2. a squeeze-in of cult-figure Posie Parker, 3. followed by denegrating remarks about the ...
This Guardian Australia opinion piece asking "Why is it legal for politicians and 'voice to parliament' campaigners to lie to you?" In some Australian states, but not at Federal level, it is illegal to say untrue things in political campaigns. To date, ...
Of that 1.4 mi, only 360k or so were on non-super benefits. That makes superannuitants the largest part of the pie by a long shot. Blame Piggy Muldoon for shooting down Labour's proposed NZ Super fund, and for those of retirement age then who voted for a ...
A 2020 Herald article estimated 10,000 overstayers in NZ, mostly Pasifika. The article is about an Indian overstayer who came as a student on borrowed money. Oops, seems like a switch from PI overstayers to Chinese construction workers could, in fact, be ...
Or the current stats realistically reflect the racial proportions of overstayers. Looks like NZ Herald didn't bother to investigate that possibility in their reportage - in a hurry for an anti-government soundbite.
Alas, I think a large part of that decrease is due to airbags. The number to look at is the rate of vehicle accidents with reported casualties, not deaths.
Why do you fuss so much about NZ self-id? It allows people to change their sex on birth certificates by affirmation, without having to go through the Family Court, as previously. From the Dept of Internal Affairs website 'Birth certificates are not ...
Of course, some women teachers can and do sexually abuse students. And some trans people commit sexual assault. Therefore we must ban women from teaching and trans women from existing. from the US 'According to the Center for Sex Offender Management, which...
Sabine, your oversize women in Essex are reported only to have sexually assaulted their victim, not raped them.
Gerald Otto's facebook post timelines National's hypocricy in moaning about RAT test costs In 2021 National hassled the government about lack of RATs, even though orders were in place, and tests arrived in time for the winter wave of covid. Otto's timeline...
Arguing from the specific to the general there, Sabine. Under that approach to law-making, no women should teach teenagers, based on the number of women who have been successfully prosecuted for having sex with their students.
Nine to noon interview about skew in ADHD youth numbers in prison They discuss results of a very interesting study mining NZ health and justice data used to evaluate mental health diagnosis with justice system outcomes.
It's not a 2-horse race, though. What about Blaise Baquiche, Liberal Democrat, remainer, and with a coms background in farm policy and EU trade? Some Conservative voters may stay home, but some may switch to the middle party. The LibDems stand strongly for...
