I remember when I realised that the reason one of their songs sounded familiar was that they were using samples from the soundtrack of Black Hole.

They don't care about that. They are pro Russia because they see Putin as an ally against woke degeneracy.

No tabloids. Stuffy tory broadsheets and talk radio not great but not UK bad and less obsessive. Some sympathetic coverage on tv. Social media bad.
Cooker entryism on a small conservative nationalist party currently in govt led to the ban & culture war rhetoric.
Kiwis aren't really political

I'm pretty sure all this started because she thought GCSE were too easy but teachers used to write in to say she was talking bollocks.

What do liberal/centrists do when eg Libs of Tiktok take *unrepresentative* examples of things some people find extreme/unacceptable and present them as the enevitable consequence of their policies?
They do (at best) minimal pushback, say "okay things may have gone too far" and then cave.

I realize this is just an anecdote and overall I would rather live now than in the 1960's.
And if I think about my daughter's opportunities vs my mum's back in the 1960's there is no comparison.

My dad graduated in the 1960s, walked straight into a job, was trained up and worked in the same company for 25 years.
I graduated in the mid 1990s, had to do unpaid volunteering to get a foot in the door and the longest job contract I ever had was 2 years
Lots of my friends have similar stories

I remember watching Quadrophenia and being jealous that they could say "you can take your job and shove it up your arse" knowing they could get another one next week or just go on the dole.
But then he did see that job as a kind of prison sentence so I don't think 'jobs for life' is a panecea.

I think insecurity has a big impact on our quality of life, which is not picked up by measures like GDP.
We've increasingly been forced to depend on the vagaries of the market (and our ability to compete) and society is more atomized.
Jobs for life may do your head in but at least you got security

RFK jr sexually harassed the nanny. Their boss Trump is an adjudicated rapist.
Jay is a political hack who's shown he's quite happy to share a stage with antivaxxers and rapists.

Is there any evidence (eg poll data) that shows that hardline anti migration rhetoric and policies reduce racial tension?
The only thing I can think of is an argument along the lines of 'Thatcher's approach weakened the NF'

'Brexit' worked in a similar way.
What seems to be on offer now is 'a strong leader who will do a general crackdown on the people you hate'.

You take a really deep vape, hold it in for as long as you can and then gently breath out the snall amount of vapor left through a folded towel held tightly to your mouth.

They used 'I'm just asking questions' followed by 'you want to censor me' to delegitimize any restrictions on expressions of racism, antivax etc.
Now they are in a pickle, because the tactic of shifting the Overton window using (phoney) free speech absolutism has reached 'hearing out' pedos.

If you live in the southern hemisphere when is the best time to get vaccinated, given that we don't have the "it's cold I'll stay indoors" plus Christmas season travel and social mixing combo?

I remember when they used to claim our military in Basra, Iraq were better at occupation than the crude, aggressive Yanks.
They said our colonial experience was key, as it taught us that being nice to the natives made them like us and be more cooperative.

I hope so as they want vaxxed kids to go to school after a potential exposure and there are going to be people actively sabotaging any quarantine efforts, so we can no longer rely on what parents say.
Adults can get the MMR vaccine if they don't know if they got it when they were a kid.

It costs a hell of a lot more to care for someone in hospital than to vaccinate and the rate in is 15%+ of cases.
I've no doubt this is reflected in his and Seymour's pro vax statements.
Thankfully it looks like the cooker have only managed to get a toehold in NZF. Has Peters commented yet?

We need to prioritize outreach and counter disinfo to increase vax rates for Maori kids.
But NZF is run by cookers. They & NZF equate counter disinfo with 'censorship' & the coalition opposes 'race based' health provision.
So not much will be done until pakeha kids feel the impact ie far too late

Hardcore conspiracy theorists often do put the work in, often aren't uneducated and could claim to be 'experts'. It's just that they just have really messed up reasoning, which means they can't apraise info properly.
