Space Jobs

By NZB3

Southland to suffer a massive blow as its heavy industry, the electric smelter, threatens to close (Basically a well-paying State welfare program but a cheap one that props up an economy and many support industries.) National will promise to save the plant before this election is done and the people will rejoice. Judith Collins will […]

Labour 6.0: The Politics of Fear

By NZB3

Wow, so this is how it’s going to be? What’s worse, the lack of imagination or the resort to force? Let’s back up and start this post again.. Yesterday, the Opposition party, National, enthroned a new leader. I wrote about that new leader’s potential first moves (ref. Judith’s Gambit.) As predicted, Judith Collins’ campaign has the […]

Judith’s Gambit

By NZB3

Mum and Dad are home to relieve the babysitter! General Election 2020 just became contestable as the Opposition party, National, just got themselves a leader. I’m the only one thanking Muller the Plumber. I know what he did for his party. Officially though, and in the State Shared Fantasy, the role of leader was hurting Todd […]

By NZB3

From a Collectivist point of view (which the mainstream currently holds) what happens to one happens to all.

Paper Kiwis

By NZB3

The Clutha-Southland electorate (previously Wallace electorate) in Southland used to be a National Party rock. From 1957 to 2014 it was in the hands to two men who were just about identical: Brian Talboys and Bill English. After 2014 things got weird as the sober straight men were traded in for wonky Millennial mavericks. The first […]

NPC Listening

By NZB3

This is roughly true of what a Blue Pilled person means when they refer to listening: “Listening: Agreeing completely without argument.” They think everyone’s a Lefty but some of us wander off the reservation and need to be guided back. So they (benevolently) shine a beacon by reciting a few mantras in the prescribed tones. […]
