some time ago, i stated my opinion that we would be in real danger of going backwards in our international standing if Jacinda Ardern no longer ruled our country. back then, i could never have believed we would sink as low as we have in my own estimation.
once upon a time, our leader’s image graced the fucking Burj Kalifa, like a vision of the Virgin Mary in a cloud or taco or something. we are now represented by three nasty, racist, small-minded, bigoted sexist cunts. my extremity of language here i excuse by my deep and profound disappointment in my country,
i no longer believe we can set an example on the world stage and i’m no longer proud to be a kiwi.
New Zealand: you deserve what you have coming.
i hope to never feel this bitter again.
how do you know if you’re a bigot?
bigotry is a blight upon society. along with religiosity, it’s the most damaging part of a warped human nature. we need to find these people and try to educate them. so here’s a quick test.
1. are you so obsessed with what’s going on in other people’s bedrooms that you take the time and effort to oppose gay marriage?
2. do you approve of our government spending $1.2 billion per annum to keep those dangerous brown people locked away from the rest of us in hell-hole prisons?
3. do you believe that when drugs are used with the laws permission (i.e. alcohol) it’s A-OK, but without (i.e. marijuana) a person must be punished? can you give an example of this policy ever working well on planet Earth?
i hope you get the result you secretly know you deserve.
Pak’n’Save mother’s day giveaway
“Pak’n’Save Porirua criticised for ‘misogynistic’ Mother’s Day giveaway of laundry liquid”
-NZ Herald
Firstly, misogynistic means woman-hating. What’s the fancy word for man-hating? i forget. Anyways, it’s surely man-hating to assume only women wash their clothes.
Secondly, women in Iran can be beaten to death for not wearing a hijab (tablecloth on your head) the way men say they should. If you don’t like the giveaway don’t enter. And spend the time you just saved getting a life.
two wrongs sometimes make a right
the National party fails us yet again
So Maureen Pugh wants to see “more proof” before she will believe that humans are causing climate change.
I was shocked. Stunned. Horrified. I was weak… My defences were down… this was such an appalling slap in the face to everyone hurt by the recent tragedies.
Immediately following this announcement Newshub cut to a sequence of other National mps declaring that of course climate change is real, and frightening. I was so relieved, my poor bruised mind said Thank God. Even the National party can get some things right. I even felt a momentary affection for Erica Stanford…
Half an hour’s thought showed me the error of my ways and returned me to the full and utter contempt I must feel for the National party. True, nobody else agreed with the idiot’s opinions. However, nobody called for her immediate sacking either. Ignorance is dangerous, and Christopher Luxon’s idea of giving this woman a reading list of the things he’s read is woefully inadequate. Fire her now. I even have to disagree with the great Patrick Gower on this one. Sorry Paddy, we don’t have time to “let Maureen be Maureen”. I don’t care if she’s a good person. I don’t care if she’s a bloody saint. The climate clock is ticking and we are losing, fast.
$h*! MY dad says
this will be a growing list and i can’t take any credit for it. my dad literally said all of it. this sort of stuff is why i’m so smart.
- what the hell is the point of panic buying? if there’s no flood or damage you’ve achieved nothing. if there is, the first thing that goes out is the power. add in the contaminated flood waters and none of that food you’ve hoarded is edible.
- Jacinda Ardern’s star power was her downfall. the more remarkable you are, the more insane vitriol you attract.
- how can refugees from war-torn hell-holes complain about their housing standards here? they’ve literally escaped from bombs raining down on their heads but what we’ve provided is inadequate? insanely ungrateful.
best relationship advice ever
if your partner tells you they need to find themselves, suggest that they begin by getting lost. it’s worked a treat for me.
aunty Cindy just can’t lose!
i love this lady! she called David Seymour an arrogant prick and made a hundred thousand dollars for the prostate cancer foundation. talk about coming out smelling of roses! amazing. and yet, this leads me to a more sobering point. if we lose this woman as our leader, we are completely fucked as a country.
nobody can still pretend to be ignorant about what is happening to the earth. the effects of climate change are just too obvious. human greed and ignorance may well be causing the end of the human race right now; who we choose to lead us through these troubled times could so easily make the difference between success and failure. if anyone in this country believes that Luxon and the bigot brigade will prioritise our planet and make the necessary tough choices, they’re probably an un-vaccinated, Trump-loving flat-earther.
besides, how would it make us look to the rest of the world? Jacinda Ardern is internationally regarded as one of the most popular, admired and respected leaders of the modern age. if we vote her out in favour of another old, rich, bald white man we’ll be the laughing stock of planet earth! think of the lost tourist dollars. how embarassing it would be. come on people, just don’t do it! vote Labour or Green and save us all.
the leader of National just doesn’t get it
so Christopher Luxon is in the news apologising again. this time, he’s pissed everyone off by talking about young men “sitting on couches in garages in south Auckland” being easy prey to gangs. naturally he’s had the sense to apologise; he’s politician enough to know that it’s kind of mandatory in a case like this, and besides, talking about how sorry he is gives him more air time, doesn’t it? a lot more people have now had a chance to hear about his shallow, over-simplistic views on a whole group of people. the bigoted among us must just love him for it. what struck me however, is that the man has typically missed the entire point by apologising for the wrong damn thing. he should not be sorry that people might have been offended, he should be disgusted with himself for thinking in stereotypes in the first place. it’s the usual testament to the kind of person he really is: a narrow-minded, ignorant, bigot through and through.
Prince Harry is a spoilt little shit.
so i was watching the a.m. show this morning when i saw the following rolling headline:
Prince Harry claims that brother William yelled at him over the Palace split
YELLING he says. oh, poor dear royal highness Henry! anything but yelling! how could he have survived such a thing? what a zero! oops, i meant hero. stupid autocorrect..
how many of us can claim that there’s never been any yelling in our families? i’d say that it’s fairly normal actually. not always the healthiest or best thing to happen but it’s most certainly human, and comprehensible. what i cannot understand is why somebody born to a position of such incredible wealth and privilege doesn’t take what they’ve got and make the best of it like the rest of us do. it’s all about positivity but all Henry and his wife do is complain.
and really, what is this nonsense about “quitting” the royal family? allow me to stress the word family. Henry is a prince because his father is the king. He has royal blood; he’s the great-great-great-great-grandson of queen Victoria. blood makes him royal, not choice.
some families are familial, but others are just groups of genetic relations
