Policemen are not Retailers

By NZB3

There is an understandable confusion, an amnesia really, that has persisted for well over a generation now. Western Culture has forgotten that our political system relies on control backed by the use of deadly force. If you don’t pay your taxes and resist to the end then, eventually, you’ll be shot. We are still a […]

“Anarchism is a joke”

By NZB3

“Anarchism is a joke,” or Conversation with a New Conservative Voter… A guide to debate. Some empathy (has this happened to you?) And, a bit of insight into the sorts of friends you can make by voting for the New Conservative political party… NZB3: Oh, you thought Labour 6.0 were interested in the good of […]

Protection for First Responders Bill

By NZB3

The ‘Protection for First Responders Bill’ is an abhorrent pulling apart by The State of some of the vestiges of Kiwi citizenship. Rather than being equal before the law, it elevates certain government workers above others so that it will be more of an offence to hurt them than a mere citizen. The premise is […]

I’m poor but I’m kind

By NZB3

“I’m broke but I’m happy, I’m poor but I’m kind”   Alanis Morissette: Great lyrics! I’ll make that into a song. Think I’ll call it ‘One hand in mypocket”   Jacinda Ardern: Great lyrics? I’m going to make that into political policy. Think I’ll call it ‘Two hands in the taxpayer’s pocket’ — The subtext […]

Lockdown Clown Diary

By NZB3

Covid-19 Diary: May 11th Seem to be living on another planet. Have to keep reminding myself that the strange and paranoid behavior of the people living around me is based on the idea they believe- really believe- thousands of lives depend on obeying Big Brother. While Labour 6.0 re-negotiates their New Deal with businessmen we […]

COVID Masks are Gang Patches

By NZB3

One of the visible features of the COVID-19 crisis has been the waring of surgical  masks. These, like much of this political crisis, are not there for health reasons alone. It’s also about theatre and superstition. They signal to others that the waringer is serious about the political fantasy and that’s quite separate from any […]

Money for Nothin’

By NZB3

As Anarchists feared, the post-COVID “help” from The State is going to be worse than the alleged ailment it sets out to cure. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand have added a bunch of zeros to their special spreadsheet and nobody stopped them.. “Twenty years ago this would have been called unconventional monetary policy. Now, […]

Normalising Fear and Anxiety

By NZB3

Propaganda like this (left) was paid for by viewers like you. The US funds $400-500 millions to the WHO each year. New Zealand contributes less than $6 millions. “It is normal to feel fearful and anxious during this time.”- World Health Organisation The WHO is literally normalising fear and anxiety. They follow it up by […]

“I cant see the Government shutting down the country for nothing”

By NZB3

Governments seem to make all sorts of screwy decisions. They fix things that aren’t broken, remove things that work, introduce entire institutions and even industries with no practical purpose. Non-Anarchists (Statists to some degree) just shake their heads and wonder why. “Why,” they say, “turn the economy to cinders and ash? Well- let’s give them […]

Hydroxychloroquine

By NZB3

Americans and New Zealanders are very different people. The strain of Statism in the American runs far more deep than in his Kiwi cousin. When US President Donald Trump remarked that a particular medication, Hydroxychloroquine, held promise he was attacked all over the world. Likewise, even more recently, POTUS pitched an question to an advisor about […]
