@gaye_ess@winstonpeters If you think this is bad a law lecturer at UC was talking about how limiting freedom of expression / speech is a good thing in society. The claims supporting it were based on how a “reasonable person” would deem some comments or expressions ‘highly offensive’
@TheZeitgeistNZ also NZ citizens are not = “skilled” workers from overseas because immigrant workers who already have qualifications are cheaper than training new ones in NZ who are citizens.
@TheZeitgeistNZ then you find out it isn’t a matter of being high skilled or low skilled and it’s is just a fugazi.
It’s essentially to line one’s own pockets through assets and supply and demand along with time.
@TheRedbaiter They don’t because it would actually benefit the collective worse as any one in prison would then be let go to live in their now seperate state and the tax payer wouldn’t need to provide for them any longer and they themselves would.
Simple. They need the state to pay for them.
@TheRedbaiter It is a siege for power and wealth using their agenda for the benefit of themselves personally.
If Māori actually wanted their sovereignty back they would band together with 500,000 of them on their largest area of land, land masses they own and renounce authority of the state.
@RositaDaz48 not gonna lie verbal protesting won’t help. If everyone stopped using them and instead waited patiently through the still remaining non self checkouts this wouldn’t be an issue
OUR GOVERNMENT IS BACKWARDS
We are PRIVATE citizens.
The government should know nothing about us.
They are PUBLIC servants.
We should know everything about them.
Stop letting them get away with inverting the system.
@uk_ktee7484 @wolsned the only speech that couldn’t be truly spoken of in nazi germany was that against the regime which the democratic people knew and voted for and supported more as time went on.
Societies now are more anti free speech than in WW2
@GaryFro37738788 The 10,000-100,000 figures maybe accurate however ONLY for the short term not long term jobs.
Think about it FBI comes, Amazon comes It seems like our resources are cheaper than americas and said contract will abuse our system especially with a judiciary with no power.
@GaryFro37738788 good question. Notice how the govt will allow it because it produces 1100 jobs. Which by the way is not a lot for a 8Billion dolllar investment. Better question would be how much water per worker employed is used. then comparing it to average yearly consumption of a person.
@GaryFro37738788 It’s going to happen especially if people are as complacent about it as they are in Britain.
There are too many distractions and too high of consumption for people to care I fear.
They are neglecting their future bloodlines and failing their forefathers and their efforts.
@kiwiwayne2 then a system in place where. Top stay top and infighting of social credit scores ensue and no massive group will stop it either nor could they due to the extensive amount of surveillance.
In NZ just let fbi open shop and have previously let them arrest people on NZ soil.
@kiwiwayne2 I think irregardless of which party enters the same issues will arise and highly similar solutions. Both parties would’ve done horribly in covid and both would’ve enforced limitations of freedoms as both in the past 10 years have showed via their legislation.
@kiwiwayne2 this goes to show that both would’ve enforced the vaccine or a kiwi would have less freedoms.
Now ID on phones. Plantir has most advanced tracking systems and as seen in britain, china and now aussie the beginning of cameras and tracking everywhere. next sociaal credit score.
@hiccup46@OpinionistNZ how to control a society = disarm them and make the level of technological warfare capability non-equivalent between state and its people.
It used to be everyone could have a sword then gun now not at all and people are let go with house arrest for rape. Crazy.
@retroguy1965@OpinionistNZ chances are police shot first as he would have been deemed “armed and dangerous” thus he shot return fire to keep safe. Essentially self defence at that point.
They should release the footage that they would have from their body cams / vehicle
@the_salty_one_ So why is New Zealand letting it happen too? Complacency. Fertility rates are lower than immigrants. DEI hiring. Limitations of freedom of speech. Uneducated individuals following mainstream media. Govt whether left or right = same outcome it’s a show like the coliseum 2000 yrago
