Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

I saw a video from Q&A with Jack Tame, he was interviewing american right winger dickhead James Linsey and the comments were so blackpilling. It was like 90% support for James Linsey.

Yup. We are so fucked and nobody seems to realize it.

I don't know how to fight back against it because new Zealanders are so checked out of nz politics but passively absorbing American right wing politics and applying it here.

@Fizz @BalpeenHammer Given how we lept in boots and all into the market ideology in the 1980s and never resiled from it, I am not surprised that "me first" is lurking just below the surface of our collective psche.
