See? Its not hard for a political leader to say this. So why can't Aotearoa's?
If you take money from fascists, you’re a fascist party.
Absolutely insane achievement given we aren’t an island.

‘Hello’ is not related to either.
Goodbye.
Yeah, same tbh… (I *might* give in with Instagram I guess, but I think that's it)

Don't love the feeling when I send out a pitch to a few people and days later no one has even reacted to it. Must have been a real stinker.
Most of our institutions are structured more towards good faith actors than bad faith ones, which is probably necessary to build society but falls apart when some % are anti-human demons who want collapse actually.

(Also in future check outside hanging jackets more carefully)
Today I saw a post where someone mentioned the old computer program "Eliza", and then someone else responded with a fundamentally unrelated anecdote about Eliza, as if they were pattern-matching on keywords without at all considering the context or meaning of the conversation that had come before it

Back to the point I was making, the funders making these evil weirdos astonishingly rich overnight are themselves conspicuously absent from the account given in this story.
