All the problems that we have with traffic congestion, rents going up every year, and all the other crap - it won't be fixed by politics. I also don't believe that the fertility crisis can be solved by paying women to have children. My GP disagrees, he still thinks that financial incentives can play a role, but I believe it's a spiritual sickness rather than a financial problem.

Likewise, with housing, rent and mass immigration, these aren't issues that can be fixed with a discussion about government policy. Maybe in 10 or 20 years the situation will slightly improve but I won't hold my breath.

New Zealanders are obsessed with being part of the group, they are too scared to have their own opinions, that's why progress is so slow. It isn't "tall poppy syndrome" or "she'll be right". New Zealanders are just not willing to say no to the fake solutions offered by Parliament and the media.

On NZ reddit, users described the New Zealand mentality, that we prefer to avoid talking about the hard topics, and we wait on the other person to bring them up, then we only go further if the other person goes further.

Literally a nation of sheep that rely on someone else to start and steer the conversation on their behalf. Only chiming in when it's "safe" to do so.

Redditors seem to have a big problem with Americans talking in a loud voice, but that's just how some people enjoy themselves. I often talk far too loud, my voice just carries, don't know why! My voice just defaults to loud and I have to make a conscious effort to talk quietly or just be really relaxed to be quiet. Most people have to make a conscious effort to talk in a loud voice, but naturally they talk quietly.

New Zealanders are too meek, and they are also disorganised. They want someone else to speak out, but when someone does speak out, then everyone will crucify them and say they're weird or that they've gone too far, or one part of their idea isn't good, so the whole thing must be thrown out and forgotten. So what's the point in trying to lead by example? There are heaps of wimps on reddit who post all the right stuff - hate for the greed that's strangled our economy. But these reddit users are too hopeless to start a movement, unless it's just a group that has a monthly meeting, where they take ideas, and then plan the next meeting.

I had thought about making regular videos for www.rumble.com but I also realise that people aren't ready for that yet. There's a potential audience of millennialls, zoomers and alphas who would agree with most of what I say, but then I face an uphill battle to promote videos. If I made a single video on my Rumble account and posted it to reddit, it'd get banned in about 15 minutes for some bullshit rule, like "self promotion". I'm not monetising anything, in fact my channels and social media accounts are not licensed in any way. I deliberately choose the most "copy left" option available.

People aren't ready to hear the truth and if I start making videos on Rumble I won't post it anywhere but a pure free speech website like Gab Social. If I say something bad about Indian Uber drivers and suggest that we should boycott Uber Eats (because they're taking unfair cuts from restaurants and reducing profit), then there's always a risk that someone will cry racism. If it isn't that, then there's some hard-ass who thinks I'm a commie and that I'm anti-business or just plain lazy, and they'll attack me personally while praising low wage and zero hour contracts as "freedom".

I'm sick of hearing about how this-or-that political party will save the country "IF ONLY THEY COULD GET IN AGAIN FOR ONE MORE TERM!!!!!1"

Stop worshipping these political figures and dumb binary concepts of socialism versus capitalism, and think about what you can personally achieve for the health of the country. Taking sides and arguing about government policy or historical factions is so dull and boring. Think of yourself as more than a "brand ambassador" for some worthless political party. If you have any courage then use it. Tell people what you really think, and don't get into the Chris versus Chris rubbish, trust me it's a dead end.

New Zealanders are their own worst enemy.
