Well now I don't know what to think lol but I have a lot of info to mull over. Seems like Jewish supremacy definitely feels like white supremacy to white people since it's probably the closest thing we've experienced

Israel were also caught sterilizing Ethiopian Jews by administering birth control to them without their knowledge and consent, causing birth-rates to drop 50%.

any materialist analysis would consider Israel a white supremacist state but yeah as I said, Zionism isn't an explicitly white supremacist ideology

Chris hipkins is now calling for a cease fire

...In his position as Labour party leader. Better than nothing I guess https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/502776/labour-leader-chris-hipkins-calls-for-a-ceasefire-in-israel-gaza-conflict "The caretaker government had sought agreement from the opposition before calling for a ceasefire, but did not get it, Hipkins said." Of course National's response is to make it all about them and accuse Labour of "playing politics".

So hipkins is a coward, should have called for a ceasefire as PM 5 weeks ago. Luxon is a fascist, as he doesn't want a ceasefire.

National's position is that they'll call for a ceasefire after the conditions of a ceasefire are met, while Labour's position is that they're calling for both sides to meet the conditions of a ceasefire. Really is two fuckin sides of the same coin. At least Hipkins called out the Israel's response as "disproportionate and indiscriminate" I guess.

When people say "playing politics" they mean "inauthentic" or in ehis case specifically "they are just saying what people want to hear, they don't believe what they are saying not believe them saying it will have any appreciable effect" right? What a bunch of cunts, they already won for fucks sake they don't have to keep fighting. Labours not loving fighting.

If you're talking about Gerry Brownlee's accusation that labour is "playing politics" over the ceasefire call, he means that Hipkins is trying to make National look bad and gain political favour. In other news, Luxo claims the three parties have reached an agreement on policy and are on to cabinet/ministerial allocations. Winston wouldn't be drawn on whether that was true or what the policies were, but that doesn't mean much.

I am looking forward to the moment where Luxon has set up a press briefing to announce the coalition, then Winston adds one last condition. No idea what it will be, but it's going to hurt ACT.

i do want to note that while it has been 30 years since ruth richardson was sacked as finance minister, the reason there is still a consensus that "everything bad" traces back to that time is because sacking her didn't undo any of the legislative or societal changes that economic period instituted. it's precisely the changes of this era (not solely richardson's) that allowed capital to enter politics, hollow out parties, and replace them as marketing wings of political ideologies enslaved to capital rule. opportunists and vested interests did not simply fill a political vacuum created by an unexplained loss of ideologies(?) - they ate politics alive from the inside like a wasp larvae, and it was neoliberals who laid the eggs. e: otherwise i largely agree with the points made.

three more years of quotes like this folksquote:Asked about Seymour's comments about proportionality, he said: "As I've said from day one I'm not going to get into any of those conversations." also TIL that sanitarium doesn't pay income tax because it's a church and a registered charity??

I knew that, I assumed some time in the last like hundred years it had formed a for-profit business hawking cereal. Kinda like how Kelloggs started as a dude who really didn't want anyone cranking their hog. hosed up that Sanitarium still gets away with it

Will Kellogg (the cornflake inventor) had a falling out with his brother John Harvey Kellogg (the lunatic enema doctor) over commercialisation of cornflakes AND whether they should be sweetened or not. The Kellogg's company as far as I can tell just does the standard large company things to avoid paying taxes, compared to Sanitarium who claim to also be a church/charity.

Apparently Luxo was expecting to keep NZF and also possibly ACT outside of cabinet quote:It’s believed Luxon was initially hoping to get at least NZ First, if not Act, as a confidence and supply partner rather than inside Cabinet.

The guy who founded Sanitarium used to work for Kellog at his titular sanitarium, was convinced by church leaders to immigrate to Australian and found Sanitarium, which is wholly owned by the Seventh Day Adventist church. (Seperate Au and NZ companies)
