I seem to remember another org using NZ as a test site...
No Kiwifarms, no Voat, no chans. I don't know what else has been shut down but this is nuts.
Voat is the home of places like Pizzagate (Podesta was travelling in NZ last week) so I hope the conspiracy theorists are going the FUCK OFF right now.
Basically NZ has cut off access to all free speech and free press outlets and there's been nothing anywhere about this
WHICH IS NUTS
That's like 5 million people cut off and no one is talking about it anywhere!!!!
So, what is Slymepit? Chopped liver?

For some reason I find this Guardian-style amateur criticism very irritating. Stupid old white men voted for Brexit. The Tories could have re-educated them out of their delusions, but didn't and now they poison politics. Well, fuck this journalist and his superior know-all views.
If they bothered to actually talk to young working class Brits from the council estates and terraced houses of the inner towns and cities or the working/middle class who have got themselves a rung or two up the ladder, many by sheer bloody hard graft then they might just get the answer as to why people are fucking sick and tired of the EU and the globalist political/media elite who continually run them down and smear them as nothing more than bigots, xenophobes and racists. The true answer and not the one that fills their guardianista narrative. Emily Thornberry and her 'white van man' snobbery from 2015 a prime example.
My daughter and son-in-law, early thirties, my two nieces and their husbands, same age group, my cousins kids, similar and younger (20's) all my friends kids, same and almost every single young person I work with under 30 all voted leave in the referendum.
This notion that the majority of the young want to stay in the EU is utter bollocks, it all depends who you ask in the polls. The only person I know who has ever had any pollster ring them is my daughter and she told them to fuck off.

Ah, yes. "Nothing to do with Islam" mirror image.
No.
More like, outside of America (where you kill out of habit and for all reasons) this sort of right wing mass attack has gone a long time between drinks.
Brive has a new nazi bimbo love interest. :lol: Calling men beta soy boys, "why are you filming a woman", complaining when people push the mic away and claims assault, and the best bit, telling men to stop eating soy and become a real man by eating Jones' phony soy based snake oil crap. :lol:

Here we have a Muslim, white knighting against an apparent existential threat to the “West”. A term I thought was deeply problematic. The threat isn’t defined by facts or figures.
I suspect the “West” is being pomo’ed into a new meaning: the post national liberal multiculti experiment of the past 15-20 years.
She was a groupie of both Helen Clark and Tony Blair.
President of the International Union of Socialist Youth.
She describes herself as a social Democrat
In 2017 her labour party got 46 seats vs the Nationals 56 - 35% of vote to the Nats 46%. But she got in power with the help of the Greens and believe it or not needed the anti immigration New Zealand First. Which was a moral vacuum decision for both sides!
Of course Jacinda celebrated the criminal threats made to the venue provider to Southern, which caused her event to be pulled the last minute. Nice example of passive aggresssive banning.
The reason Fitz is particularly enamoured is because she wants to ditch the Queen. Fitz is head of our Chardonnay Republicans.
Declaring herself a republican for the first time, Jacinda Ardern said she wanted the nation to have a debate on removing the Queen as its head of state.

A bit off topic, but the herring spawn is starting, there were a few boats so far.
When I went to the beach today there was a dude with his family that was flying a drone over the water and the schools of herring schools swimming around.
It turns out he is a commercial diver that is going out tomorrow and often for the next month to check out the quantity of herring row that has been deposited at key locations between the ftp den and areas 30 - 40 miles to the south. Cool guy, loves his job.

Perhaps we could have a brief (say ten year) interregnum during which people would decide if they really want a monarchy, or not. (It's been done before after all).
Of course there is a strong argument against the current system: King Charles III
I always rather liked Chardonay - but it dpes not go so well with Battenberg.

A voluntary gap doesn’t work too well with the model based on divinely backed succession.
People get confused between their feelz and the cultural and even more importantly, parliamentary value of the institution.
We are very good at pulling down ‘shit that offends’ and less competent in quickly building meaningful replacements.
Anthem, flag, constitution, head of state .... identity ....

(obvs the cats she had with Adam have now been airbrushed from memory)
If I were a cynical chap it would be easy to think that Becky is branching out into the animal rescue video youtube market.
Even though she is more the animals rescue me type. Maybe there is a niche for her?

I like Jacinda Adern and think that she is and will be good for the country and its people. Our electoral system is Mixed Member Proportional Representation, not First Past the Post, so she is the legitimate PM. This system is better at capturing the diversity of the people's interests than FPP which usually resulted in a Government where more people had voted against them than for them. It also requires consultation, negotiation, and compromise, rather than pushing shit through. Authoritarians hate it.

I didn’t claim a coup. ;)
I thought the parallel to the US popular vote may be of interest, the inability of the largest voting and seat winning party to be part of govt is .. also different and the weird connection between NZ First, Greens and Labour is worth pondering.
I also provided a laundry list of what are to me red flags. Sometime are literal red flags. I’m interested in why you feel they should be dyed green. Presumably there’s more to it than the fresh sassy young female factor.

More like her usual everything has to be centred around me me me attitude to life, she gets a dream holiday to Hawaii, (probably financed by the mugfriend) at the invitation of his family by the looks and she has to steal the limelight by making it all about her rescuing a cat, whether the cat needed saving or not. She can now go back to her bottom of a bottle of bourbon/marijuana cake existence and pretend she's a good person who saves waif & stray animals. She's even made the family instagram hashtag all about Becky, her narcissism knows no bounds.
( and yes I know it's 3am UK time .. fucking insomnia will be the death of me one day :( )

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and familiarity breeds contempt. It's difficult to tell which (if any) successions are divinely backed. Though I strongly suspect none of them. Perhaps term limits could be an option - some have suggested that there were more democratic traditions in the past - eg. cutting off the kings head and throwing it to the crowd to determine the successor.
There is no doubt that people do feel - but I wouldn't dismiss them out of hand for that.
It's easier to de-create than the reverse. But people can and will decide these things for themselves - and imbue what they build with meaning - and do their best to pass on that meaning to others.
I think you can still be a patriot and have reservations (or dislike intensely) the anthem, flag, head of state or even the constitution of a country. Though there would have to be some regard for at least some of the ideals these things purportedly represent. Identity seems to be a more slippery concept - either imposed top down from the state, or built bottom up from the people - and even varying from region to region in a country. The tribal nature of humanity seems to create identities based on both who you are - and perhaps more importantly who the other is.
And as to the fourth point - I would have to say 'no'. Three points is traditional for an ellipsis...

I've been watching compilations of intros to old tv shows, sorted by the year they debuted.
In 1981, the 80's were already here/ but the 70's hadn't left yet. 1983 shows are only a flicker of recognition, to me... but apparently 1984 shows all etched themselves on my brain, no matter how much I wasn't the intended demographic. By 1987, everything looked Baroque & 90's-ish.
Jumping backward... holy shit 1956 had a lot of big-budget epic adventure TV...
I've been taking detours into watching entire episodes. Champ-i-on!! The... Won-der Hoooorse!
And 'Otherworld', about Mitt Romney's family lost in another dimension, pursued by a young 'Mike Ehrmantrout' from Breaking Bad!

In 1978, the State of Maryland delegate Isaiah "Ike" Dixon attempted to introduce legislation making it illegal to play Randy Newman's "Short People" on the radio. He was advised by Assistant Attorney General Francis B. Burch that such a law would be a violation of the First Amendment.
The Attorney General was on the Wrong Side Of History.
In retrospect, Randy Newman was COMPLICIT IN CHRISTCHURCH. The lyric "Short people got no reason to live" is an alt-right hate speech dogwhistle.
Even the official video for the song begins-- with behind the scenes footage of Randy Newman-- uttering a bizarre but all-too-familiar manifesto-- about his desire to control the destiny of The West...
New Zealand Must Denounce!

More people were killed by Islamic terrorists last week than died in Christchurch. More people will die through Islamic terrorism this week than will be killed by non-Muslim terrorists.
People who critique Islam will be howled down and silenced.
Null/Josh from kiwifarms just did a three hour livestream with Nick Rekieta. Very entertaining and educational. They discuss the exact correspondence with NZ police starting about minute 26. He had spent the previous thirty hours keeping his site and torrents alive through the crush of traffic.

Ta! It seems optimistic for the NZers to ban Kiwi Farms and then demand their data.
It’s sweet that Jacinda believes silencing opinion will also disappear it ..... A typically left wing regressive approach.
But I forget. She’s the hero we need.
