The Plastic Martyrs

By NZB3

Miriama, as I told you at the beginning of this experimental anti-plastic venture, technology is your friend not your enemy. When we use plastic we make a choice to trade hygiene, convenience, and time for a little bit of otherwise useless underground organic carbon.   Life is short! Sacrificing bits of your mortality, time you […]

“Education Hubs” or “Kāhui Ako?”

By NZB3

How do you like your children’s brains fried? “Education Hubs” or “Kāhui Ako?” Labour, version 6.0 or National, version 5.0? You don’t even need to go far back in history to find National 5.0 doing exactly what they’re accusing Labour 6.0 of instigating. Nikki Kaye is finally coming out on the offensive and taking a […]

Storm Ihumatao, Storm St Lukes Mall

By NZB3

We have been following with interest the escalating Slave Culture as it topples Victimhood Culture to take its turn at being mainstream. “The passive whipping boy Honkler evolved into Scepticism Culture some months ago. The Victimhood Masters lashed out with escalation including confiscation of our plastic bags and guns.” Most recently, Virtue Signalling Supermarket, Countdown, swore […]

A New Commissariat of Education Control

By NZB3

It was a weird meeting last night¹. I expected information about Hipkins’ next tactical move. I expected Nikki Kaye and 2 other MPs to be charismatically fanning and converting the audience’s outrage toward support of the National Party in their fight to stop the Minister of Miseducation from creating a Commissariat of Education Control. Instead […]

Double Up or Nothing Going Down?

By NZB3

Next time a concert, no, two concerts, need to be cancelled don’t say it’s because of poor ticket sales and lack of interest.   Say it’s to avoid “double up.” Brought to you by the genius Police PR team. No amount of cute police dogs or strumming guitar constables can come up with any better […]

Petition of Jessica Quinn

By NZB3

Two things I know about Millennials: They’re obsessed with Victimhood (preferably someone else’s that they can champion) and with throwing tantrums to get Big Brother to grant their wishes. Never has this been more clear than in this latest example of Jessica Quinn’s petition… “Now is when I ..figure out what to do from here […]

Disarming the Youth

By NZB3

God Defend New Zealand because we are certainly not. Our only hope is that foreign nations hungry to expand don’t read our newspapers. This article should be in the Real Estate section. “Students will no longer be able to hold or shoot army guns at school under new government guidelines.”- July 2018 Yummy unguarded, under-populated, […]

Countdown’s Latest Victimhood Culture Act

By NZB3

Watching this tennis match between the outgoing Victimhood Culture and the incoming Slave Culture is pretty interesting and changing everyday… In the great collective unconscious human zeitgeist something is cooking and we’re counting down to it. The passive whipping boy Honkler evolved into Scepticism Culture some months ago. The Victimhood Masters lashed out with escalation including […]

“Storm X, they can’t stop us all”

By NZB3

So here’s clear meme signal that our mainstream culture needle is set to Slave. The initial “Storm Area 51, they can’t stop us all” impulse has morphed in the last few days to four other iterations that I’ve been able to easily find. And that’s just New Zealand! What the hell does it all mean? […]

Honour Culture Dispute Resolution

By NZB3

You know my secret hack for thinking about personality, history, and culture. If you have not been reading along then here is a quick reminder before we get to the story of the Samoan toilet fight… Honour Culture: Perceive problems as personal and solve them personally. Hands on. Warrior culture. Constant concern for their reputation […]
