Not with Your Lot, No

Shane Te Pou has an article in the NZ Herald questioning whether we can have politics without division. He suggests we can all learn how to do politics from Maori. Naturally, he begins his article by attacking those who oppose the Labour Party. So much politics seems to be about

Antimatter Is Normal in One Important Respect

e=mc². It’s probably the most famous equation in modern history, out-competing (these days) even Pythagoras’ Theorem. But, how many of you actually stop and think what it means? The e stands for energy, the m for mass. In other words, energy and mass are interchangeable. That is,

Voice Campaign a Harbinger for the Libs

It’s a generally accepted maxim of Australian politics that state and federal politics have little to do with each other. Mostly, it’s fairly true-ish, but, at the same time, sometimes state bells can chime very ominously for federal politics. For the last few years, the floundering of

Oh, Iran – You’ve Done It Again!

Oh, Iran – You’ve Done It Again!

There’s an old truism that’s as applicable to politics as it is to nature. Both are, after all, red in tooth and claw. That truism is that predators sense and target weakness. Why else do you think Vladimir Putin has only launched invasions when a Democrat is in

The Yapping Dogs of NZ’s Race-Baiters

Is there a more odious, pathetic, political buzz-word than “dog-whistling”? Because, here’s the funny thing about a dog whistle: only dogs can hear them. So, if you’re a journalist or politician screeching that your opponent is “dog-whistling”, you’re admitting that you are a dog.

Guess What? No-One Cares

Rich people don’t grasp that they have a warped perspective on the world. Which is why, for instance, climate activists (who skew very heavily to the rich end of town — just look at the Teals, or the blazer-wearing private school luvvies “striking for climate”) just don’t get

Clown World? Or SNAFU World?

Clown World? Or SNAFU World?

The Clown World meme swept the internet — or, as the left media would have it, “the intellectual dark web” — in recent years, because, the thinking went, the only way to explain the ludicrous chaos we live in is if it’s a literal clown show. Like the Absurdists before them,

Labour Is Putting Globalists in Charge of the High Seas

There has been no public announcement or discussion of the Minister’s intention to sign this agreement. In short, the Minister is signalling before the next government is even elected, an intention to ratify. Labour is putting globalists in charge of the high seas, and from here the NGOs will

Professor Blainey Is Right, Just Admit It

So-called “fact-checkers”, as anyone with a functioning critical faculty is well aware, have very little interest in actual facts. Instead, they function almost universally as narrative-confirmation machines. Contrary to the media’s self-serving palaver about “speaking truth to power”, “fact-checkers” are in the business of

Are We Applying the One-Flag Rule, Still?

As New Zealand’s panjandrums of “combatting extremism” like to babble, “If there’s just one Nazi flag at your rally, it’s a Nazi rally”. Worse, we’re finger-wagged, “If nine people sit down at a table with one Nazi without protest, there are ten Nazis at the

Did Antifa Just Stay Home on J6?

Do you think that people in countries that historically sank into authoritarianism realised it, as it was happening? Generally, the answer seems to have been that nobody at the time really grasped what was bearing down on them. When the Maoists seized power in China, crowds in large cities like

If you think it’s a clever idea to send out a malware bot as a major recruitment campaign and still barely manage to suck in more than a couple of thousand confused Boomers, you just might be a “youth climate activist”. The “clever” online campaign was the brainchild of
