“Fuck White Supremacy”
By NZB3
It’s always got to be anti-women’s-violence or anti-gender-based-violence or anti-child-violence. Why can’t we just be anti-violence? The implication is that identitarian categories that don’t have International Days of Activism named after them are OK to do violence upon. “Yesterday in Parliament, we all wore orange to raise awareness of the 16 days of worldwide activism […]

Don’t Look Up
By NZB3
New release: ‘Don’t Look Up’ now on Netflix. Yes, The Guardian review is right that director Adam McKay goes on a self-indulgent smug Victimhood Culture parade. That probably resonates with a certain set such as the Hollywood cast acting the movie or, one would have thought, The Guardian. Not so much with the old Conformity […]

Matrix 4
By NZB3
I don’t do spoiler warnings. That was your spoiler warning. The Matrix Resurrections (2021) has just been released which prompts a question as to which way the director would take it. Often the route in these situations is to create a nostalgic mosaic resembling the bottled lightning of the first installment. So many songs and […]

Cracker
By NZB3
Professor Jackie Buell of Ohio State University is in hot water for using phrase โJewing Downโ in virtual lecture. Apparently it’s a colloquial term for trying to bargain down the sales price in a retail environment and that was the topic of Buell’s lecture.ย How dare she implicitly attack Jews that way? But she says […]

It is a kind of death
By NZB3
Most people (even some Libertarians) want to be in the in-group more than anything. The prospects there are good. Access to markets and all that. That in-group has narrowed a fair bit of late. It got Woke. At university we had a paper that taught us about this in terms of R.K.Merton’s theory of anomie. […]

Transport Reboot
By NZB3
I’m a regular user, or was, of the Auckland SkyBus. I’ve tried using a mix of bus, rail, and Lime scooters instead and even bought one of Auckland’s annoying ‘Hop’ cards to do it. Highly inefficient and stress-stimulating, especially when you have a plane to catch. Wellington’s airport bus has been canned too. The problem, […]

Anomie and COVID
By NZB3
As 2021 comes to the close of another COVID year it’s proper to look back at what has happened to New Zealand society. Readers will know my usual model for considering different archetypal groups and how they interact is the Theory of Moral Cultures (TMC). The four types (Dignity, Victimhood, Slave, and Honor) are created […]

How The Political Party Works
By NZB3
This picture shows how political parties appear to work to the Statists who excuse what they see. A stove with a live burning, heating nothing. The pan on the wrong element with broken egg shells in it. The raw egg has fallen below the pan onto the stove top beside a dead burner. It appears […]

Kayfabe Army
By NZB3
‘In a surprising joint press statement today, the New Zealand Army and New Zealand Police and Julie Anne Genter all denied involvement in recent publicity photos.’ Of course they didn’t. But we are expected to believe three recent events were not part of at least three separate Public Relations desks in efforts to make the […]
