Walter MondialThe elites only fear one thing:
This is the platonic ideal of Left NIMBYism. Squalor is working-class and good, anything new is bourgeois.

It is amazing that the Prime Minister is a walking political disaster, and the Foreign Minister is an out-and-proud racist, AND YET they're still going to win the election because Labour is coded "losers" and the Greens are coded "innumerate woke shoplifters". Opposition can't get any traction.
Ben GracewoodLuxon's "I was out there building a kick-arse business" just galls me so much. Bro you were employed by a couple of gigantic inefficient enterprises. You did not build a pie shop or a landscaping business. You did not build a tech startup.
Today on Reddit, a guy from Melbourne tells us all how much he loves Auckland. A subreddit full of Aucklanders assume it must be sarcasm. No, he assures us. What is wrong with our mentality in this city www.reddit.com/r/auckland/c...

Are there any other examples of contemporary political leaders being elected on a Right-populist program, then ditching that crowd and steering to the pragmatist Centre? The Mayor of Auckland is a fascinating case (and invulnerable to accusations of "woke") thespinoff.co.nz/politics/30-...
How an anti-rates lobby group tried to influence a breakaway council budgetWayne Brown is accusing a group of councillors of secretly pushing the agenda of the Auckland Ratepayers’ Alliance. They strongly deny the claim.thespinoff.co.nzTRVTHVKE: Graeber's _Bullshit Jobs_ has been poison for the Left because if you convince people that their jobs add no value and do nothing, it's VERY hard to recruit them to a politics of workers power Then they just end up wishing "real workers" or maybe the Russians will come save them
Remain In Hell Without DespairSometimes I think Western left-liberals fetishize powerlessness. Like, they can't even imagine a situation where they could fight and win, so all they have is processing trauma, apocalyptic fantasy, and trying to "shame" an enemy which is incapable of shame
