the McBishop, 'Weaponising the haka'

[Lilith7]

Funny attitude that, deciding you dislike something before you've even tried it. Especially about a book ffs. It's just a book, it won't bite you.

If I had lived within walls like that I would have missed out on some real adventures, some real pleasures, and some very real lessons, and lived a much narrower life.

Mind you, I might be falling into a trap here. Maybe it isn't the politics. Maybe you just find reading hurts your thinking bits.

im a prolific reader, i just have standards and anything that person has to say im not interested in unless it’s a apology for splitting the country, setting up farmers and landlords as the enemy, creating a group of second class citizens  because they refused to take  injections, creating a racial divide, all the while lining her pockets and planning to f off and leave us to sort out her shitpile   

no wonder she’s scared to come back

Assumptions  are always interesting, & often incorrect...

so you only despise some rich people

Exactly - just the greed crazed ones. The sort who exploit others for their own gain. The kind who want to continually grind down working people.

It seems to be that generally, those who've actually done some hard graft to become wealthy tend to usually  not end up being crazed with greed as some do.

And that second class thing? Much as you might love to, that can hardly be blamed on her or her govt. 

You'd need to go back to the 80's, the Lange Labour govt with Roger Douglas, who imposed Neo Liberalism here,with neither warning nor discussion.

She is not scared to be on multiple international stages though is she? Maybe that says something about the vociferous few who actively speak in often insulting and abusive terms about her personally, and her time in office, while studiously ignoring the fact she has been lauded by an awful lot of commentators who know quite a lot about leadership and the demands that role requires.

I do wish though some other political figures were scared to be here. We would be so much better off without their divisive, racist, and aggressive Trumpian efforts...

Oh, and yes, I despise selfish rich people. And their poor versions as well. It's selfishness that repulses me.

And there's a deep vein of misogyny involved in that anti Jacinda bollocks too.


Which oddly enough, I can't recall back when Jenny Shiply was PM; she was disliked but I don't think there was quite the same amount of misogyny.
