Oh No, Anarchists!

By NZB3

Fairly on the mark, although the esteemed cartoonist has a different bent on property relations. How can a true anarchist insist that others abolish property per se? You try it your way, let others run society their way, and we’ll see who pisses off Elon Musk first.* — * Existential Comics has been picking fights […]

Agree With Us Or You’re White

By NZB3

This racist statement is made without irony. Here a premise, ‘racism exists’, is defined not by the nature of what it is but by the political identity of those involved. Does not repair to evidence, does not seek to convince or persuade. Does not appeal to the reader’s intellect.   It sets up race-based in/out […]

The Situated Nature of Social Reality

By NZB3

Here an institution (eg ‘apartheid’, eg ‘racism’, eg ‘sexism’) is defined by not by the nature of what it is but by the political identity of those involved. To those who of us with post-Enlightenment minds this picture exposes a simple nonsense. How can the woman in this picture be against ‘sexism’ when she’s privileging […]

Brown Razzle Dazzle

By NZB3

Great cutting through the ephemera to the root core here by VJM. He helps us recognise that the contemporary ‘Brown Communism’ is simply Marxist Communism by another name… “Brown Communism is a very similar memeplex. The difference is that, instead of appealing to the Western working class, it appeals to non-whites as a quasi-racial bloc.” […]

Cricket Participation

By NZB3

Everyone gets a participation certificate in the r-selected hegemony. Especially if the politicians get to steal a little glory.   “Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says the Black Caps deserve a “heroes’ welcome” home after a “remarkable” World Cup final in London overnight.”- ‘Traumatised’ PM wants heroes’ welcome for NZ cricketers; RNZ In the K-selected cultures […]

Conspicuously Compassionate

By NZB3

Victimhood Culture’s means of production, their identity, is to be conspicuously compassionate. But they don’t pay for it. That’s where Dignity Culture comes in. When DC runs out of money because VC sucks it dry then we have revolution or else civilisational collapse.

The Forrester Gallery, Oamaru

By NZB3

Oamaru’s art gallary, The Forrester Gallery, is yet another of New Zealand’s cultural sites that has been mothballed recently. I wont try to figure out what’s going on now but will collect a few newsclippings while they’re still online. “The Forrester Gallery is housed in a spectacular neo-classical building originally constructed in 1884 for the […]

No Culture: The Return of the Primitive

By NZB3

Dan McGlashan (writes for VJM, thus Anarkiwi) makes sage pronouncements from time to time. Yesterday, this: “One man’s ferality is another man’s natural vigour.” I don’t accept that wholesome vigour is the same as feral urges, that it’s just a matter of one or another man’s point of view. But how do we tell one […]

Is gender voluntary or involuntary?

By NZB3

Open Question: Is gender voluntary or involuntary? Well, you know I’m a radical libertarian so you must know I place a very high premium on personal responsibility. To Anarchists a person is held responsible for their own choices and that includes their personality. None of this ‘the devil made me do it’ or ‘I’m not […]

3-Year Ghost Hunt Ends in Kaiapoi

By NZB3

Well I hope these studious and thorough consultants didn’t get paid too much. And, that they at least made some pretence of walking around with survey equipment to earn this pay cheque. An ongoing headache for residents living in Kaiapoi’s Silverstream development is finally over after the Waimakariri District Council confirmed their houses are protected from flooding […]
