Cracker

Professor Jackie Buell of Ohio State University is in hot water for using phrase ‘Jewing Down’ 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. 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 […]

Anarchy and Speculation
By NZB3
Humans do not know everything like some omniscient god. Even in a Deterministic universe the state of knowledge isn’t yet enough for us to figure out all outcomes and even if we could it would not be time well spent. Therefore, we speculate. We guess. We estimate. We have opinions. We form stereotypes. None of […]

When Political Correctness Became Prospective
By NZB3
Papanui-Innes Community Board, Christchurch, are so Woke that they’re cancelling the memorialisation of people at the meta level, before they’re even disgraced! This is a new level of anti-human and anti-achievement and anti-recognition. It’s like something out of the Victimhood Culture from 20 years in the future but here we are. “A new development in […]

“Houses Are For Living In”
By NZB3
This is like saying that a skull is for protecting a brain and cannot be used for drinking out of or as a paper weight or for anatomy lessons or decorating catacombs. “Houses are for living in, not for speculation” Objects exist in multiple applications limited only by the imagination of the user. Including as […]

No Traffic Lights
By NZB3
Labour 6.0’s attempt to turn our country into a string puppet by imposing what they call a Traffic Light System is doomed already. As it’s not due to start until 3 December 2021 that’s much earlier than expected! The system depends on New Zealanders being suspicious of one another as a default until they can […]
