Bullshit alert: some NZ politicians (dishonestly) claiming that the puberty blocker ban is about "saving" kids from "unnecessary" medical interventions and "letting them make up their own minds"
No, that's *what puberty blockers* do. It gives those kids time to work out their own identity.

The thing is, National KNOWS there's no future in mining. They KNOW these projects aren't feasible, financially, environmentally or politically. But they need a short-term line-go-up moment to pretend their economic plan isn't a raging dumpster fire
Willis is part of a Govt that is destroying NZ’s core international brand, ripping up our Paris climate commitments, deliberately undermining the climate sections of trade agreements , that has alienated Aus and the Pacific by supporting bottom trawling etc etc www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...
‘Doolally, economic vandalism’ - Willis blasts Greens’ mining intervention
The Greens’ promise to revoke fast-tracked consents on seven mining projects has prompted government ministers to come out swinging, and one mining company to defend itself.

That feeling when an author who writes great sci-fi includes a foreword that reveals his true politics. Did some digging and yup. Suddenly some of the themes click differently.
Reminds me of reading Mission Earth and then finding out who L Ron Hubbard was. Makes more sense, it wasn’t ‘satirical’

Ah dang, that feeling when you see a board game creator you like might be working with someone you really don’t like.
Suddenly you realise “what are their politics?” “Do they share the view of that person or just work with them and try to be ‘apolitical’”. How do I even find this stuff out?

I ended up turning this into a little bit of a thread, because I sincerely want to understand why so many of the people who could do something about this endless parade of horrors are choosing to enable and endorse it all through inaction.
It is remarkable and astonishing that the entire apparatus of the Republican party -- the entire organization and every single person who is part of it -- has been converted into a cover-up operation to protect a single pedophile rapist.
Is that why these Republicans went into politics? Really?
