@AndreC130 @golrizghahraman Let's just ignore the economic boom through the 80's and 90's, the 2008 financial crisis, Covid, Brexit and the war in Ukraine. iT wAs NeO-lIbErAlIsIm just rolls off the tongue so much easier doesn't it?
@golrizghahraman Centralising ownership of water makes it easier for National and Act to privatise what are our local assets. Why create a bill that needs constitutional approval to remove but doesn't need to it to pass?
@Graeme_kiwi Pointing out nepotism is a co-ordinated attack? If anything they should be more co-ordinated. Declaring a conflict of interest doesn't stop the conflict existing, often it means you should remove yourself from the position especially in public life.
@Chora70657726 @AvnilThakar@CarlZha If you had actually read something you could make a better argument than read a book. Why not use a theory or political strategy that they employ? Surely in all your days reading Marx you picked up something useful.
@thilassa@Wharfrat2004@ninaturner Ahh yes the age old game of dissing world leaders who stepped up when attacked by a belligerent state. The stench of tanks is strong in this one.
@SkyNewsAust Does Nick notice our trade dependency on a far larger and powerful state? Does he care? Could he bother to do 5 minutes research, before putting his fat foot in his mouth? I'll answer that, no, no and no.
@BenBurgis@jacobin While you're there can you kick everyone covering the Ukraine/Russia conflict in the shins for making a mockery of the journalistic profession? Last I saw they were making some shit up about the US being in a "strong position" to enforce world peace.
@SeaOfThieves While I appreciate the warning a time period or perhaps if that isn't possible an estimate of when the servers are back up would be nice.
@ninaturner@brad_polumbo The US state benefits from keeping the world order as it is in a unipolar state, as do its allies. Are you telling us that you would no longer like to be the world hegemon? Perhaps there are ramifications to your policy you either haven't thought about or care about.
@MariaSherwood2@JohnJCampbell@SundayTVNZ Careful, if you just take the structures these people live around away you could make things worse for them, and that's my only concern. Concern for the victims of that abhorrent cult. I wish it was as easy as shutting it down.
