NZ First leader Winston Peters declares 'war on woke'
The speech, made at the James Hay Theatre in Christchurch, was interrupted several times by protesters.
Winston and Seymour are in competition to see which one can be the Trump of NZ.
You're viewing a single thread.
Christ I knew they had their hooks into you NZ but I didn't think it was that bad already.
woof. Y'all need to take out the trash pronto.
And that means no Xitter, no facebook, no Instacrap. Anyone using those things is abetting the destruction of all that is good.
Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed are wonderful things. Enjoy those.
Yes, fine, also bluesky I guess. I dunno.
There's some fairly large amount of NZers that interact on the daily (some on the hourly) with Facebook. I dip in from time to time to read what people are saying just to try to keep some perspective on why it seems so many of my fellow citizens have such strange ideas.
For the most part replies and discussion on just about any topic are full of false assumptions, minimal facts, naked and unquestioned bias (x is always bad no matter what, y always good etc) and then the usual racism, misogyny and nastiness. This sort of crap from Winston appeals to that sort of folk, really he's just targetting a little lower and more broadly than his usual tactic of talking to the 70+ old white racists.

I have no doubt. This will mean the utter victory of the right wing fascists, backed by broligarch billionaire Peter Thiel, et. al.
It’s that simple. It’s been tried-and-true since at least 2016. Kill it with fire.
I think you are taking some copium if you think this kind of rhetoric only appeals to 70+ old white racists.
There are hundreds of thousands of younger racists who also love this message.
That's what im saying; the old plain white racists are dying off, so he's pivoting to outrage amongst young males instead.
That's a rich field to mine in NZ.
