Cats Against Brexit

By NZB3

I’ve been reading the Facebook page of Sargon of Akkad. Latest content from him and some of his commenters… The remainers are the most insufferable, entitled, spoiled bunch in the world. Ironic signs are indicative of self-interest and not principled opposition, you fucking selfish shits. Who are these people? SO they want to remain because of thier […]

2019: Permission Slip to Learn Things

By NZB3

The Great Replacement “document”/manifesto has been banned by the NZ Office of Film and Literature Classification. Hilariously, our Thought Police friends in the Government get right in there and impugn the very medium it’s written in! ““Others have referred to this publication as a ‘manifesto’, but I consider it a crude booklet”- classificationoffice.govt.nz As the image above […]

Political Policemen

By NZB3

This officer, Constable Michelle Evans, is on duty. However, the New Zealand Police Officer is also expressing herself and her branch of government politically by adorning with religious sectarian symbolism. New Zealand official documents, uniforms, vehicles, seals, logos etc are required to be free of political symbols; We leave that to party politics and citizens […]

Accelerationism

By NZB3

Accelerationism in culture works the same way as it does in maternity. You deliver a baby literally prematurely and that may indeed be advantageous in the moment. But Doctor Accelerator is not looking long range. The child born prematurely will have a lifetime of disadvantage, is not born fully formed, will not get his attachment […]

He Who Must Not Be Named

By NZB3

There’s this primeval, superstitious drive in down-regulated humans where they mistake speech and thought for manifest reality. Sympathetic magic. Homeopathy. Voodoo. Lucky charms. They think that by not saying the true name of “You-Know-Who” or “He Who Must Not Be Named” that Voldemort will let them alone. (Such people belong to HC and VC cultures, […]

Post-Massacre Backlash

By NZB3

Read this yesterday. After Columbine… “The adult reaction was frenzy and fear utterly disproportionate to the actual risks faced by teenagers, whose world, statistically, is much safer than it was three, two, or (especially) one decade earlier. In high schools across America, the months after Columbine were marked by false alarms, SWAT drills, stern speeches, […]

NZ On Screen will be suspending its use of advertising on Facebook

By NZB3

I take it that ‘lacks concern’ is your euphemism for Facebook not employing top-down control on its customers to control their content. They’re not going on a banning or censoring spree?   Complex social problems can be solved by trusting the public to think for themselves and make the right choices. We can use reason […]

Racism

By NZB3

Old Vince asks lots of interesting focusing questions on Facebook. Tell you a secret about me. Any time someone asks an open question like ‘can you identify this old picture’ or ‘what was this old tool for’ or ‘why did she do that?’ it triggers me into answering. Doesn’t have to be me though, I’m […]

Move Fast and Regulate Things

By NZB3

Lynley Hood¹: “If you’re wondering why our government, our Internet bosses & our advertisers are speaking out about the role of Facebook in the Christchurch tragedy…” “The Web has become critical to all of our lives as well as the world economy, and yet the decisions on how it is designed have never been voted […]
