Move Fast and Regulate Things
By NZB3
Lynley Hood¹: “If you’re wondering why our government, our Internet bosses & our advertisers are speaking out about the role of Facebook in the Christchurch tragedy…” “The Web has become critical to all of our lives as well as the world economy, and yet the decisions on how it is designed have never been voted […]

1829: A Letter from Sydney
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Today, March 20th, is New Zealand Founding Father Edward Gibbon Wakefield’s birthday. It’s a very flattering bust, I’ve always thought. Makes EGW look like Chris Pratt from Jurassic Park when really he resembled Chris Pratt from Parks and Recreation. Especially when EGW was the age depicted! In reality that unfortunate Middle-Aged Spread had set in. His […]

Keep Calm and Carry On
By Gekko
The past week has been difficult for NZ, thrust into the spotlight of world scrutiny for reasons that are as horrific as they are unprecedented. I wanted to record a few thoughts, if for no other reason that it would be interesting to revisit at a later point to see if my view has changed. […]

Al Noor Mosque
By NZB3
Trying to get my head around the Ground Zero for this month’s terror attack in Christchurch. This happened at Al Noor Mosque which I translate to Mosque of The Light. Built by MAC (Muslim Association of Canterbury) in 1985 and for 15 years the most southern mosque in the world. The Muslim community in Canterbury […]

Police Pursuit Policy
By NZB3
A small note on the policy of NZ Police cars hunting down runaways and smashing into them like Mad Max. In a single year, 2016… “New Zealand, which has a population of roughly the same size [as QLD,] saw 3323 police pursuits, resulting in seven deaths.” Well, you can’t say that Mad Max skill set […]

The Coward Of Christchurch?
By NZB3
John Black of Right Minds is doing it too. On the mark when it comes to identifying the collectivism of dehumanising at the core of the Christchurch shooting. Utterly wrong to call him a coward. The Coward Of Christchurch: Where The Right Goes Wrong Tarrant was not a coward. I don’t see how it helps our […]

NZB3 Reboot
By NZB3
The NZB3 (New Zealand: Be Free; Get it?) blog and podcast was my voice on the internet back in 2006 when I was a bit younger and a libertarian. Bits of it are still online here on Blogger. It was the Golden Age of blogging before the social media giants like Facebook and Twitter or […]

1934: George Bernard Shaw Visit
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Today in history, March 15th, 1934, celebrity playwright George Bernard Shaw toured New Zealand. A great writer and great wit, it was he who rightly said “a government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always rely on the support of Paul.” and “If you aren’t a socialist as a teenager you have no heart, and […]

Gun Banning: Vanity before History
By NZB3
New Zealand is on a transition from mainstream Victimhood Culture to mainstream Slave Culture because SC will expand to outstrip the supply of free stuff VC gives away; Like mice in a grain silo. The next transition after that is Honour Culture coming in and kicking the Slave Culture mice around without remorse. Same thing […]

1933: Pranking the Authoritarians
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
October 1933: It’s just a joke! From an era of rising tension and new seriousness culminating in global warfare. The mainstream culture had become overbearing to many of the lighter-hearted Kiwi larrikins who wanted their intense co-worker or uncle to chill out a bit. More and more, New Zealand’s mainsteam was filling up with authoritarian do-as-you’re-told […]

2020s: Dignity Culture Rising
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Social history right now! Rob Stock is triggered so badly by Marie Kondo, that he goes on an Abe Simpson-esque spiel about minimalism, house prices and frugality. Apparently she’s promoting an extreme lifestyle! Watched some of this Japanese Netflix sensation today. Basically white people are learning/re-learning about how to tidy up after themselves. And who […]
