I guess I was using secret police as a fairly broad term for government shitfuckery for extra judicial organisations. I'll be honest it's been a few years since I did a full watch through and I'm not up to date with current trek series.

I had to leave the room because I was getting too worked up about the propagandist liberal bullshit.

watching a "documentary" on luigi mangione on TVNZ it seems to rely on a upper middle class liberal point of view... #resist #freeluigi

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

I would be interested to know that statistics for how many kids are even getting puberty blockers, and on their mental health outcomes. I'm pretty sure this government won't be looking into the results/statistics of their policies so we might never know how many lives could have been saved.

Absolutely, that's what this government specializes in!

It's important to note that our current government has quite a few right politicians with what would be considered extreme Christian beliefs by AoNZ standards . They aren't bowing they went into politics for the purpose of making the country less diverse and the government more punitive.

No so I re enrolled, it's going to make the local body election a pain

Has anyone else had this happen? I just went to check my enrolment on the vote website and I was not enrolled despite first enrolling in 1999 and always updated my address.

I then asked for democratic lizard people and I got Trudeau and Adern. Then I asked for anarchist lizards opposing human capitalists which got the longest and most detailed response

Then I spent a lot of time on lizard people which it was happy to entertain, to start it assumed the lizard people were authoritarian and suggested people like Putin,

Had some fun messing with the Tiktok a.i tonight. Spent some time trying to make it racist or transphobic but it wasn't down with that so passed the first test. #a.i

More anti spider propaganda, I've only ever met 2 people that could say they saw a spider actually bite them and both were fine.

I'm convinced John key was popular because enough Nzers like dickheads, because it made themselves feel better about being dickheads.. and honestly Dame Jacinda did the same thing for a different group of dickheads with her "captain's calls"

Why is Newsroom associating BDSM with a sex criminal?

Nope... She was a great leader in a crisis but her "captain's calls" took a generational left wing vote and doubled down on centrist politics. Labour was never going to win the 2023 election Dame Jacinda wasted political capital and chippy made it worse.

That's not really a good comparison, consider how many people eat egg vs impossible burgers

I know that we are experiencing a very bad version of the USA but let's not forget that the "Good" version is also pro dictator and pro genocide... Maybe 1794?
