Why New Zealand Is So Fucked Up
By VJM
A lot of thought has seemingly gone into answering the question of why this country is so fucked up. Most of it coalesces around ideologies, with liberal capitalism, globohomo, ethnonationalism and anarcho-nihilism being the foremost. None of these theories have as much explanatory power as the psychohistory model, as this essay will show. The British […]

The r-selected Twilight Zone
By NZB3
Unpacking some Double Think (as George Orwell called it.) What is the internal logic of these two statements made by the r-selected mainstream culture? LHS: To the Medieval Mind thought and free expression, “talk about”, is the territory of the elect. It is anti-Enlightenment, anti-individual.

Sacrificing bits of your mortality, time you […]

By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Julius von Haast built The Canterbury Museum (est. 1867) off wagon-loads of moa bones. Piles of bones were generously donated by George Henry Moore of Glenmark Station.

A New Commissariat of Education Control
By NZB3
It was a weird meeting last night¹. I expected information about Hipkins’ next tactical move. I expected Nikki and 2 other MPs to be charismatically fanning and converting the audience’s outrage toward support of the National Party in their fight to stop the Minister of Miseducation from creating a Commissariat of Education Control. Instead there […]
