The last seat at the edge of the world

#Aoraki

Democrat party isn't 'left' but more of a center-right party. Women & rainbow friendly Neoliberals that support genocide (except few individual members) are still neoliberals that take $ from AIPEC. Just coz Republicans are now far right, don't make Dems 'left' by default

I'm bit annoyed at friends & acquaintances who act shocked at mad genocidal regimes of Israel & U.S. Framing it as 'over there problem', while ignoring the problem HERE: NZ Govt coalition openly stands as closest allies with Trump & Netanyahu. We! Have a problem Here! #nzpol

Did NZ PM at least issue a statement in response to trumps call to genocide & destruction of an entire civilisation? Will Winston bring it up with Rubio? No? We all have to accept that NZ has itself chosen barbarism over principals & respect for international law. We saw that in Gaza #nzpol

To my #Christian friends & whanau, I wish you a joyful #Easter Sunday, & may you have a peaceful day…

My thoughts are also with Palestinian Christians who are facing persecution & ethnic cleansing as all Palestinians are…

screenshot of RNZ headline, “UK-led Hormuz talks demand ‘immediate’ reopening of Hormuz

Or what, they’ll bomb Iran?

“Iran is trying to hold the global economy hostage in the Strait of Hormuz…”

RNZ & others report this kind of nonsense ‘with a straight face’, as if we all have short-term memory.

Trumpism is international. Culture wars & the politics of the spectacle worked in the U.S. & by being in power with ACT, Winston knows it works here. It’s as simple as that.

But that sounds like socialism

I hope some realise now, that most protesting #genocide weren’t simply ‘choosing a side’. After US & Israel were allowed to level Gaza & kill 37,000+ children with impunity, why not do th same to Tehran? Why be shocked at U.S. War Secretary saying proudly, “we’re punching them while they’re down”?

“It was never meant to be a fair fight…We’re punching them while they’re down”. U.S. War Secretary.
& to remind us all, this coalition Govt decided to be afraid of this bully. Does anyone even remember NZs stance on being nuclear free? taking pride in independent foreign policy? #nzpol #BendTheKnee

I shed no tears for #Khamenei, but I do for the innocent (like those killed in the school bombing), and for the world shaped by Netanyahu & Trump’s “whatcha gonna do about it?” diplomacy.

The Onion writes better headlines

#Kilkenny always leads to “ #reunification “ & “f**k the monarchy” for some reason #FridayVibes

Government deciding whether US should get access to New Zealanders' biometric data Officials are in talks with the US about a new travel deal.

Talk about ceding sovereignty. First the FBI office, now this… might as well build a Trump tower in Wanaka

So police can ‘fine’ homeless, for being homeless? Have powers to ‘move on’ homeless. But where? Prisons? We are at imprisoning homeless stage of NZs far right transition. #nzpol

When this coalition embraced MAGA, they also embraced #PostTruth I don’t they care about being caught, nor do their supporters. They will literally look down a camera & lie

Union hits back at NZ First over Employment Relations Amendment Bill The PSA said NZ First leader Winston Peters was wrong to blame unions for being too slow to convince New Zealand First to block the bill.

Winston: we would’ve blocked the bill, if unions only asked.
Workers First Union: ahm, we met with you at least 8 times since 2024 to discuss the bill!
PSA: & we met in August last year!
Winston: As I was saying, if unions only asked on time…

This coalition keeps telling us, ‘facts don’t matter’, & therefore ‘integrity does not matter’ (in the age of disinformation & culture wars). Please read Workers First release:

Something strange is happening in #Ōtepoti Dunedin, some kind of yellow light can be seen protruding through the clouds. Sky colour is changing in parts too. Is this normal? Should we be worried?

I guess the days will be shorter? Less $ on heating when going to bed earlier

ODT said Ōtepoti might have a sunny day on 12 of March

This is why we are where we are

always remember, & remind your friends & family, that Judith Collins once said “Trump is the best president US ever had”.

It’s interesting how ‘we shouldn’t get involved in foreign politics’ people (who criticised anti-genocide protesters), are now experts on international relations, defending US regime attacking & kidnapping foreign leaders, & even defending brown shirts (ICE) murder of civilians…. #nzpol

“Law & order party” is now, “rules don’t apply to us party”. It is ‘others’ that shouldn’t work from home, Luxon can do whatever the fuck he wants. It is also demonstrable in their unconditional support of the autocratic US regime.

number of kiwis who are defending ICE murder of a civilian on talkback ZB & other comment sections is frightening

If you accidentally open the comment section of talkback ZB & stuff (strongly advise against it though), it is depressing how many kiwis defend kidnapping of foreign leaders & cold blooded murder of a civilian by US ICE thugs. The problem isn’t just ‘over there’. It is here too…

We need more sanctions on Russia, I mean, if you speak against Putin you just get taken away! oh, wait…

International law & order are dead. Israel/US killed any false sense of security smaller nations had (under UN). This is a sign of things to come. NZ govt have aligned NZ with Trump & Netanyahu. We need to understand & accept this. We can only apply pressure on the opposition & vote #nzpol

US regime attacking another sovereign country for their resources didn’t shock me. What I’m still sad about is the absence of any meaningful opposition. And how easy it was for NZ media to ignore our government’s alignment with such regime #nzpol
