Proletariat vs Plutocracy
By NZB3
Like two competing tribes strains of bacteria trying to conquer a Petri dish. Each side also excretes toxins into their little world in an effort to make it more liveable for themselves and more deadly to their foe. “This combat between proletariat and plutocacy is, after all, itself a civil war. Two inferiorities struggle for […]

“Its not perfect but its the best existing model we have.”
By NZB3
“Encouraging non-voting is encouraging cynicism aka helplessness.” It’s pretty bad form in my opinion for a moderator to have their say in a thread before locking it. I assume that this is not what happened in this case and that this topic is a fit one to debate and discuss with mutual respect. What I […]

The Rambo Saga
By NZB3
The Rambo Saga is told at last after 37 years and I’ve seen all 5 films now. For most of the time we didn’t even know it was a saga but this scene (left) showed otherwise. The film makers are not just out to make a sort of ‘America: Fuck Yeah!’ foreign intervention extravaganza but […]

The Theory of Moral Cultures (TMC) is premised on 4 Moral Cultures that each take their turn in the seat of power. The entire cycle takes about 20 years so each Turning is about 5 years apart. At any given time, then, two of the Cultures are in decline two are rising. This might be simplistic […]

The Ethics of Emergencies
By NZB3
I’m all about Objectivism. However, one serious point of departure I have with philosopher Ayn Rand springs from her essay ‘The Ethics of Emergencies.’ For example, one might say “The right to free-speech is universal…” (so far so good)….”unless there’s some emergency!” (doh!) It’s as if when the going gets tough, Objectivism calls it a […]

How To Raise Your Children To Be Abusers
By NZB3
I think it’s a fair generalisation to say that no one goes out of their way to try to raise an abusive adult. Yet it happens. More often than people would like to admit. We hear parents of domestic abusers lamenting that they did all they could. I believe them. We parent to our best […]

The Prime Minister’s Process
By NZB3
It’s a Blue Pill Error Code¹. The PM is Neuro-linguistic programming herself at the same time others. Public Servants do the same thing endlessly with their BPEC word: “policy”. “We have a policy…” and “There is a policy…” This is especially said in times of strees, the same way a Christian will crack open their […]

Vegan Storm
By NZB3
Animal Rights activists reminded us this week what a strong voice they are within the r-selected faction of the New Zealand Gene Wars. St Lukes Mall, and Countdown in particular, was assaulted again by a storm of protesters much as they were last month… “Yesterday at lunch St Lukes mall, Auckland, was the target. Not content […]

Trinidad and Tobago
By NZB3
Anarkiwi encourages you to not vote. Not as yet another way to manipulate Big Brother to give you goods and services but as abstinence from being a Second Hander. When you think you have the answer you stop trying to solve a problem. By turfing out the false and futile answer to social problems that […]

“If You Don’t Vote You Must Love The State”
By NZB3
Another gem from the big thread about Voting vs Not-voting. I’m humbled by the Blue Pill Error Codes laid Anarkiwi’s feet by all these well-meaning people. It’s not reason or evidence, there are no arguments offered for why one should vote. But there are a variety of viral memes people have ingested to compel them […]
