Is this actually an honest-to-god real thing? I saw it for the first time today in an article about Catton, and I'm hearing it again here. Is "Green Taliban" really a thing Slater's people are saying?

holy poo poo I've only been away from NZ for two loving years what the everfucking poo poo happened. I mean we were always kinda poo poo but jesus christ really?

Also I'm laughing my rear end off at Plunket's chickenshit backpedaling. It's like a 7 year-old boy saying whaka as "fucker" then going "NO MUM I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN CANOES".

He didn't just call her a member of the "green Taliban", he wrote a post titled: "GREEN TALIBAN FIGHTER ELEANOR CATTON ATTACKS MOST POPULAR PM IN RECENT HISTORY".

But yeah, is a term that's been around for a while. It goes nicely with "feminazi".

Everyone's favorite hairpiece stand Peter Dunne compared the Greens to the Taliban a while back, not quite on the level of Slater though.

Yes but why.


The comparison makes no sense at all. I guess they both really like the colour green.

Can I start calling Peter Dunne "Pope Alexander VI" now? I don't know if he's a sex offender but his hair certainly is.

From Slater's perspective, they're both bad things. Maybe it's meant as a comment on fanaticism?

'Green Taliban' is a whaleoil thing though Dunne called them that last year as well. And Bomber called them emerald stormtroopers :jerkbag:

also this is how Plunket originally explained, absolutely making it gendered

quote:

"Sean has addressed his earlier comments on air - he defined a hua as 'just a woman who annoys you'," Lorimer said.

it is weird how neither John Keys nor Sean Plunket told Lomu or Dagg to stick to rugby during the election though

The stylish, cultured, philosophizing French nightclub owner from the Matrix is similar to boorish, awkward, incurious John Key, agreed.

I can't even feel better when I read stellar stuff like this because the internet has conditioned it into me that people will go out of their way to absolutely gently caress up everything they come into contact with and this trend is on the rise. It won't matter that they'll be dead because they'll have been replaced by something even worse and the irredeemable pile of excrement that is the human race will grow ever larger and more rancid.
