Anarchism is Refusal to Tantrum
By NZB3
Do you think ‘not voting’ is just another strategy to get your Alpha Elites to give your more goodies? That’s what voting is (along with the various forms of political participation such as petitions and supporting this or that party…) To many the alternative to this Victim Culture is not self-empowerment but being left out […]

The Gender Wage Gap Is Bullshit
By VJM
Periodic outrage arises at something called the “Gender Wage Gap.” We are constantly being told that men are paid a certain percentage more than women because of anti-female discrimination and prejudice within the workplace. The problem is that the idea of a gender wage gap is absolute bullshit. Demographer Dan McGlashan, author of Understanding New […]

1938: The Social Security Act
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Today in New Zealand history, 14 September, 1938, The Social Security Act passed in to law. While many New Zealand doctors’ backs are turned (they’re overseas fighting Nazi Socialists in WW2) Labour 1.0 back home totally re-organises their industry along Socialist lines. Ironic isn’t it? 1938 Was ground zero for the NZ socialist health system. […]

“Voting is my only Power”
By NZB3
“By not voting, I hand all that power back…That is my power. “ What if I were to tell you that you have power of your own? That you can achieve things in your life directly rather than by influencing your chosen Alpha Male or Female? That you can self-author rather than be a supporting […]

Colonised English
By NZB3
English-speaking New Zealanders have our own spelling, own pronunciation, own points of view just like Maoris do. Let’s make a deal. We wont try to colonise you if you stop trying to colonise us? “Chris Smith, a tutor of Te Reo Māori at Ara Institute of Canterbury, shows us how to say Canterbury […]

The Only Winning Move Is Not To Play
By NZB3
That this is your birthright as a free person. That you are not required to ‘vote’ or ‘participate’ in order to gain or keep it? The following is the reaction of Miss Ri Theodore, a debater and student politician. Let’s see what kind of ideas about civics are coming out of the schools of higher learning […]

Government English, Government History
By NZB3
Would you trust a Government School with your child’s education? “In Canterbury about 150,000 adults have no or only Level 1 qualifications, meaning they have a reading age roughly equivalent to a 14-year-old.” “Across New Zealand, it is estimated that more than 1 million adults have literacy difficulties in their everyday lives.”- New Zealand’s ‘basic skills […]

The ‘Catch 22’ of Voting
By NZB3
Understand something: The State doesn’t want you, the individual, to have power in your own destiny. Your preferences, your goals, your future doesn’t belong to you so far as The State is concerned. Same goes for your children. Facebook offered me free credit to boost a post. By sentiment I’m against paying for views because […]

Teach Our History?
By NZB3
Anything The State turns its hand to will wind up achieving the opposite of its stated aims every single time. That holds for teaching history as well as for Race Relations, BTW. There’s nothing you can’t make worse by adding more Government to it! The Human Rights Commission is overstepping its brief by lobbying for […]
