. I am also really sick with Covid Sorry to hear that Anker ... best wishes & hope you're able to get over it as rapidly as poss.
. The use of the phrase, "hit the nail squarely on the head", seen increasingly here on TS and used by just a small cabal of commenters, is revelatory, imo. Yes ... but bear in mind that your opinions are very, very silly ... as you might expect from an ...
. Beautifully put, Molly. Spot on. But I fear you're just toying with the barely adequate psychic defences of affluent virtue-signaling Woke White Saviours. How dare you erase their most prized in-group prestige enhancement techniques by literally ...
. Red @ 3 Once again, you've hit the nail squarely on the head ... concise, razor-sharp summary ... cutting through all the increasingly desperate rhetoric/subterfuge designed to sell a dog to a more than sceptical public.
. Coz, racist. Dear old Robert ... the Great Moral Exemplar ... smearing the hoi polloi, the absolutely ghastly Great Unwashed, that horrendous majority of Deplorables who lack his "unusually-refined middle-class moral sensibilities" ... you'd sell this ...
. In other words, core organisations of the "Left" slowly but surely captured by upper-middle professionals & transformed into their own brutally self-interested Vanity Project ... blatantly attacking its core support-base ... &, in the process, mutating ...
. Viciously scapegoating socially-minded, law-abiding low & low-middle income Non-Maori (traditionally, Labour's core constituency), transforming them into second class citizens via the implementation of Critical Theory 'Equity' dogma in housing, health & ...
. The claustrophobic ideological echo-chamber that you people inhabit is really quite something to behold. A couple of your more intellectually-limited Woke chums here have suggested my critique of your inherently anti-social democratic ideology suggests ...
. Must be word of the week in right-speak. Dear oh dear, the conspiratorial delusions of self-interested bourgeois Wokedom ... the idea that anyone outside your regressive little cult - a cult that deploys Identity Politics to viciously scapegoat large ...
. barely concealed racist fearmongering signifying nothing but contempt for truth, Maori ... Spare me your wild-eyed bully-boy character assassination of a hefty majority of the New Zealand public you self-centered, self-righteous authoritarian prig. When ...
. Red (@ 2.4) Hit the nail squarely on the head. The relatively small cadre of Noble Savage Paternalists, Critical Theory Cult members (and their [rather more numerous] opportunistic fellow-travellers) are nothing if not profoundly anti-democratic ... but,...
. Yeah, you are quite right, Anker ... what the Dunedin study found is well-established in the international literature ... after the age of 4, anti-social children (or to use a technical term: conduct-disordered children) tend to turn into anti-social ...
. Whoaaaaa there !!!, affluent Pakeha Woke dogmatists have assured me the neighbourhood terrorism being perpetrated by violent, out-of-control anti-socials indiscriminately dumped in Kainga Ora housing is all down to "Post Colonial Traumatic Stress ...
. Kainga Ora has yet to cancel any tenancies or evict a single tenant since it was instructed to more vigorously employ the law against unruly renters. But 113 households have moved voluntarily, about half of which are tenants wanting to get away from ...
. Thanks very much, Molly ... you have absolutely zero to apologise for !!! ... I'm genuinely very grateful ... but I can understand you feeling a little wary & tentative given the melodramatic, self-pitying, tiptoe-on-eggshells-around me at all times ...
Ah, cheers for that Belladonna.
. The graphic I posted in above comment (16) seems to have disappeared ... so the relevant figures are: 1 News Colmar Brunton (Oct 2020): Q: Do you think the voting age should be reduced to sixteen years of age ? Yes 13% No 85% DK 2% Those more likely than...
. Meanwhile ... let's take a bit of an old gander at the view of the Public (y'know, that really yukky, icky thing called democracy that gets in the way of an affluent middle-class cadre getting their own way at all times). This Oct 2020 1 News Colmar ...
. Ohhhh, I think we can rely on Corporate Iwi and their affluent establishment Pakeha Woke "allies" (suffering from debilitating narcissistic personality disorders) to know what's best for us all. I suspect it's time we began to live our lives strictly ...
. "cis" or "cisgender" is another term for virtually everyone. Invented largely for political reasons within Queer Theory & Gender Studies ... it seeks to massively exaggerate the size of the trans community while inherently downplaying the relevance of ...
. Yep ... that's bang-on ... ... although, if I remember my Critical Race Theory accurately, critiquing anything involving Corporate Iwi makes you a Cis-heteronormative transphoblic White Supremacist Neo-Nazi bigot suffering from White Fragility & White ...
. Hit the nail squarely on the head ... razor-sharp analysis, succinctly put ... upsetting as that may be to the well-to-do Noble Savage Paternalists. Childlike cheerleading for Corporate Iwi interests = as a signal to other wannabe elites of personal ...
. Incisive question ... you're flushing out the self-indulgent Romanticism of the well-to-do, intellectually-superficial, prestige-enhancing Pakeha Woke ... with a simple question on fundamental practicalities. You're one of a distinct minority here firmly...
. The exclusive little Establishment club that is Wokedom certainly doesn't. I mean, why would you allow the hoi polloi, the great unwashed, the 80% of the public who are absolute deplorables to have a say in our future ??? That's sounds absolutely ghastly...
. Only if you tend toward both the highly partisan and conspiracy-minded.
. But this one is in line with all the others, suggesting Newshub's is the outlier. No, don't think so. Newshub's no more an outlier than Talbot-Mills ... broader point: polls all in relative agreement. .......................................... Right Bloc...
. . An excellent example of how blind adherence to some narrow ideology can out-strip common sense and compassion. Precisely the same dynamic underlies the crude, distorted dogma of Wokedom / Critical Theory / ID Politics in general. Guaranteed to create ...
. And while abolishing the death penalty for treason was nice and all, the important abolition (that for murder) was done in 1961, when Keith Holyoake put the matter to a free Parliamentary vote. Labour in 1961 voted en-mass for abolition, together with ...
. Latest Newshub Reid Research Poll suggests: Ardern almost certainly mildly more popular than Labour itself / Luxon considerably less popular than National. [bearing in mind that the Preferred PM measure includes the entire sample whereas Party Support ...
. Sorry to hear this ... his long essay, Obama at Manassas in the New Left Review (March-April 2009), was a tour de force in popularising & summarising the changing demography & geography of the presidential vote in a highly colourful & highly accessible ...
