Agree with this. Unfortunately went as expected, but can’t say I’m not gutted

YouTube video by thejuicemedia Honest Government Ad | Visit New Zealand!

The Government of New Zealand has made a new tourism ad and it's surprsingly honest and informative!

Image of Donald Trump photoshopped into a dictator outfit. Headline: What you can and can't say in the People's Republic of America

Following recent confusion, the glorious Trump administration has put together a helpful guide: preview.mailerlite.io/preview/4483...

A poster in black and gold - the colours of Ray Chung’s Independent Together lot - on a white ground, asks Wellington voters to engage in a bit of critical thinking before casting their vote in the local elections. Do you believe in fairy tales? Didn’t think so Don’t believe candidates who claim they can freeze rates without cutting essential public services. Don’t vote for their shIt!

#nzpol What the poster says.

A country where elected representatives are bullied out of office by threatening their children is not a democracy.

Being trans is a gender identity, not an ideology. Being a gun-toting, right wing fuckknuckle, however... well, THAT'S an ideology. You know, if you're out there looking for ideologies to blame for anything.

Fight the Empire.

Nicola Willis keeps talking about sex based discrimination, and saying those claims can still be made, she's talking about pay equality instead of pay equity - they've completely moved the goal posts and stolen wages from many, many women #NZPol

It's like (again) living in Babylon 5.

President Clarke pushing Earth Alliance to a full right wing dictatorship.
Anti alien rhetoric.
Control politics.
Anyone not supporting it is arrested.
Protests banned.
Lies all day.

God this guy wrote a masterpiece.

Watched Revenge of the Sith with my son the other day and oh boy did George Lucas nail it twenty years ago. A New Hope was considered a commentary on the political climate of the time. Was the prequel trilogy instead looking forward to where we were heading?

The best riposte that I have heard thus far is that a bishop can move diagonally as far as possible, but a Russian pawn can only move one square at a time.
