We've seen what happens to US military bases now. And the US doesn't defend them - just lets them, and their local vassals, get bombed whenever they start a stupid war (which seems to be every few months). Why take that risk? Kick the yanks out.

Damn sure would suck if I fired an MP in a key seat because they met with people who are in gangs, something literally every elected politician has done. FURTHERMORE HIPKINS MUST RESIGN

1. Advise Leoni to withdraw from gang pad visit 2. Boost an entire news cycle attacking TPM and Greens for attending 3. ??? 4. Leoni resigns Fucking incredible work, best politicans in the game, how can anyone in the electorate compete. FHMR

Chris Hipkins is probably the only living person who could manage to make an entire election news cycle focus on how shit he is as a leader when the other major story is the kids hospital doing hunger games to see which kids get to survive. FHMR

As is tradition, when the electoral left is struggling party staffers have gathered to offer a brown woman as a human sacrifice to appease the electorate. FURTHERMORE HIPKINS MUST RESIGN

There's more coverage about some green and TPM MPs liaising with gangs than there was when it was revealed the president of the ACT party was a pedophile and members of the act party had acted to cover that up. Like I knew we lived in a pedophile nation didnt need media to confirm it FHMR

If you want to get an understanding of how cooked X is the current mass debate that's rocking the platform is a discussion on who would win in a hypothetical war between 1939 Europe and 2026 Africa. The fact it's even a debate is shocking 😭 FHMR

Destroyed the local community economic loops and healthy school lunches, force feeding kids disgusting Compass Group swill. She is a merchant of slop. RNZ ascribing "non partisan" to the motivations of her new astroturf org is an extraordinary confirmation of everything in the Dirty Work book.

As I said earlier, insane to platform a group with Farrar as a founding member in normal times, extremely insane to do so the week Dirty Work comes out! FURTHERMORE HIPKINS MUST RESIGN

If there was actually no juice to Dirty Work it would be getting ignored, the cope is evidence of how close to da money (punintended) Hager got. FHMR

Parents Alliance confronting the people who ruined schools in NZ. FHMR

The new AstroTurf, Parents Alliance, is laughably wrong about their core assertions. Like clearly what they want is to introduce market competition to schooling (sounds great right) but they can't even get the facts right, I want to focus on this assertion first. 1/4 FURTHERMORE HIPKINS MUST RESIGN

Just ask someone literate to explain it, they're usually pretty straightforward! 4 I can see where this is going lmao 5 yeah there we go. PEOPLE ALREADY HAVE A CHOICE YOU ALREADY SEGREGATED THE SCHOOLS YOU FUCKING GHOULS. if I need to spell out how 4 and 5 are connected happy to do so but the 4/5

Dots are there to connect. 6 is fucking stupid. Schools are already run by parents literally what more do you want YOU ALREADY RUN THE SCHOOLS JUST FUCKING ENGAGE WITH BOARD ELECTIONS. 5/5

Like they even cite the PISA report in their initial release but even the PISA report shows that school choice isn't a major barrier to success. Socio economic barriers matter much more! If a kid is in poverty turns out wow their education suffers too! Their policies are a joke too 2/4

Policy 1 is just a racist dog whistle, policy 2 is funny because yeah dawg that's what the PPTA has been pushing for consistently for a decade now get on board with the program (crazy that this is in "opposition" to unions) 3 is like bro what more do you want if you can't understand the report 3/4

1/200 discord has receipts calling this at least from 2022 in response to people wondering who was advising Luxon. Burgess was an NZ Initiative plant & the entryism across the National Party, and government, specifically to dismantle public services has been extensive, destructive and *predictable*

I thought things would be different after shaw left but the Greens really are sticking with the "everything the same but 2% better" policy platform

Kinda insane that the MMH breach has been public knowledge since halfway through last year and mainstream reporting is only just catching up on it

I'd never support an extraterritorial extraction of a leader to justify regime change so an exile population can return home, imagine if we kidnapped the president of South Africa and all ... Ok hold up

you don’t actually have to tow the line on foreign policy out of some immensely misguided respect for ‘national unity’ or whatever. this is a coalition government that is actively supporting genocide and US state terrorism. give people a fucking alternative asap please

kyle@kyledchurch.bsky.social

so Hipkins could completely scoop Luxon AND set the frame for the discourse by making even a quite muted announcement on Venezuela. why are Labour so FUCKING BAD at comms OR being in the right side of history?

Its kinda ironic that the US is accusing Maduro of Narco terrorism when they've just bombed civilian infrastructure through coked up helicopter pilots

People complain about the idea of like a centrally run product design and delivery system in favour of some kind of private alternative but everyone in NZ with new things seems to just own shit from Kmart and Temu these days anyway like the only difference is some fuckwit is profiting lmao.

Western excess is going to end voluntarily or as a result of polycrisis. There's no political or cultural power strong enough to keep the gravy train flowing and it'd be nice to see more politicians begin to get serious about redistributive degrowth.

A scroll through Bishops posting history is enough to void him as any ally of anyone who even pretends at moderate social or economic centrism, let alone leftism. He is, at best, an ecological fascist.

i guess the other thing to note about this, is it reveals somewhat the extent to which powerful people avoid paper trails so that there is less transparency and accountability. what else gets treated in this way?

kyle@kyledchurch.bsky.social

sorry but if Hipkins knew about the original mcskimming allegations then his leadership is actually untenable. he HAS to go

One of the greatest indictments of Ardern's political project is how she's distanced herself from NZ politics despite leveraging her time as prime minister for increasingly vast personal gain and to grow recognition abroad. Sort of a political version of startups in NZ that just aim to be bought out

People will say magic doesn't exist and then refuse to explain how the HMS New Zealand avoided all damage during WW1 while the captain wore a piupiu and hei tiki.

When people talk about what they liked about Mamdani's campaign they talk about the promise to make community supermarkets or how he made a genuine effort to engage with voters. No one except for wonks picked up on the fucking fonts and signs lmao

They stacked the dishwasher, loaded up the finish and fucking heavy cycled my goat, she's washed dawg 😭

The Press@thepress.co.nz

OPINION: Labour’s finance spokesperson set the tone for 2026 with a message of restraint and fiscal responsibility — while avoiding the details voters will eventually demand.

I do love (hate) that the 90s have been so totally memory holed beyond Ruthanasia in NZ. The misery inflicted on people was terrible sure but there are like a dozen people with names and address who made dozens of millions from that misery who live happy lives lmao.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The reason techbroes are scared of AGI is it'll completely invalidate them as a class, there's no need for tech billionaires if we have general intelligences that can make impartial decisions. This is why they want to develop and control any potential for singularity, so it can be slaved to them
