Countdown’s Latest Victimhood Culture Act

July 27, 2019

Watching this tennis match between the outgoing Victimhood Culture and the incoming Slave Culture is pretty interesting and changing everyday…
In the great collective unconscious human zeitgeist something is cooking and we’re counting down to it. The passive whipping boy Honkler evolved into Scepticism Culture some months ago. The Victimhood Masters lashed out with escalation including confiscation of our plastic bags and guns. What’s next?- “Storm X, they can’t stop us all”; NZB3
What’s next turns out to be the impending policing of Energy Drinks. Countdown, who led the way in banning plastic bags and making tampons free have a new Politically Correct Signalling initiative…
“Countdown is to impose an age restriction on the sale of energy drinks from September 1.”
“Energy drinks are one of a range of initiatives we’re looking at to help our customers make healthier choices in our stores.” – Countdown to stop selling energy drinks to under-16s; Stuff
The ethic, as usual, is to promote the Victimhood Culture Nanny State. True healthy choices are generated from within, by people who value health first hand.
Going through the motions because someone makes you do or not do something is observationally the same as someone acting out of virtue but there is a world of difference. Countdown is stopping people from being able to be good and taking that personal responsibility and discipline unto itself. In their vanity, Countdown think they can make the world a better place by replacing our judgement with their own.
To make the right consumption choices we first must need to have choice! What’s next? Tell us to eat up all our food before we leave the table?
