Joints aren't good for hashish anyway. Better a water pipe.

The "Pick a side" is a key part of the narrative dialog (divide and conquer ). Yeah substack is no different in nature than twitter, front guys , fake numbers of subscribers for dosh, designed to get controlled opposition( inc bots) highlighted and in others that are popular and not dancing the lemming jig AI bot learning commentators

I think everyone's not noticed that "left" use to be liberal and for the people and the media have flipped the meaning of it. Orwellian.

Liberal was always more an American term I think, it was left where I hung out in my youth so i tend to use 'left' but for some this might have meant 'liberal'. Trump is a liberal in a social sense, somewhat centre right in an economic sense & portrayed as fascist by today's left who are not liberal in any way whatsoever.

Very confusing.

It's uncanny how being "anti" anything that one "side" of a debate believes in makes one some kind of "extremist", etc. It's also funny how only a little over 3 years ago, that same "side" was screaming about "their body, their choice", big pharma, big corporations, etc. If these people would just look back at their own history for a few minutes, and realize how badly they have lost their way, they would find they are actually on the same "side" as the rest of us regarding most of the issues they are persecuting us for. They have chosen a cult of division instead. It's really weird.

Yeah it's really odd that the left have suddenly become the biggest supporters of the richest corporates on the planet in the form of the Pharmaceuticals. It's a combination of those who are complicit and those who must have always just gone along with anything the left said without thinking about it. Leaves very few genuine, able to think for themselves, lefties out there.

Who is he then?

Have had a look. He starts his letter on the web with kia ora and ends it with nga mihi.

Good that he knows 4 words of Maori.

Also who tapped him from overseas, where I assume he'd been for many years, to turn up here in July to run for MP.

I had to get a Director's ID for Australia today. It's basically a digital ID through MyGovID (My covid ID?) which connects all government services together. And as that is being done by a private contractor if I remember correctly then that ID is already offshore (US most likely). But search for Director's ID and you will see that NZ is also trying to implement it. Much easier for them to now stop you from being a director because you criticized some thing that they don't want you to criticize.
