Red Pill, White Pill, Blue Pill, Black Pill
By VJM
There are many theories that describe the change in personality traits over generations. The most well-known is the Strauss-Howe conception of generations that gave us terms like “Baby Boomer”. Local anarchist philosopher Rick Giles has expanded on this conception, giving us a spiral idea of history based around the ebb and flow of moral cycles. […]

1960s: Brutalism in Nelson
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
1960s photo shows stark contrast between Old and New Government Buildings in Nelson. Between 1860s Jacobethan and 1960s Brutalism. The spirit of the age had changed markedly between time periods and here we see different generations speaking to us side by side in New Zealand’s history. Being government buildings they are both lying […]

1982: The Other Guy
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Part of New Zealand culture though technically the Little River Band is an Aussie act. Through an Anarchist lens (that’s what we’re here for) of history it is crucial timing for the state of culture in 1982 that this conundrum would be before our culture. The Other Guy is The State. “If the government can […]

The Great New Zealand Chimpout
By VJM
New Zealanders have been used to thinking of ourselves as a passionless, even dour people, very calm, very sober and not prone to great emotional displays. Not for us singing at sports fixtures, crying in public or over-reacting to political events. This self-appraisal has been shattered by the events of the past fortnight. The last […]

1940s: We Will Remember Them
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Enjoyed watching the WW2 re-enactment at the Helensville A&P Show back in February. These men suddenly came alive and became interesting when they became active on the hillside above the kid’s rides. A reminder that war memorabilia and retro equipment is a huge part of Kiwi cultural history. Any swap meet or army surplus store […]

1896: Good Honest Chocolate
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
J.H. Whittaker migrated to Christchurch from England to make his own chocolate in 1890. Moving to Wellington in 1896, he set up the chocolate factory we still have today. And it’s good stuff. Better than Cadbury, particularly now that they’ve dropped the ball. I am amused to see this latest update on Whittaker’s Facebook page […]

Banning The Great Replacement Manifesto Violates The NZ Bill of Rights Act
By VJM
In the wake of the Christchurch mosque shootings, the country has been forced to endure the Great New Zealand Chimpout. This has involved everyone losing their minds, and over-reacting in ways that they may later come to regret. One of these over-reactions was to ban Branton Tarrant’s Great Replacement Manifesto, an action which was – […]

A Dissident Is Here
By NZB3
There is a perennial theme in our culture of the feminine’s choice either to align with the masculine to fight off external threat or to stab him in the back. As a pair bond, a family, a culture, can we withstand an invader? Or, the feminine asks, shall I betray my protector in the hopes […]

1925: Henderson Creek
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Mostly just me and my canoe these days. I’m a regular explorer and seldom see another soul as the mangroves’ grip grows tighter and tighter. No yachts beyond Te Atatu (except 1 derelict now sunk.) Can you remember people boating in Henderson’s creeks and rivers? It’s an unusual sight nowadays to see small yachts anchored […]

2018: Blind Bisexual Goose Gets Civic Funeral
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Future generations will look back in amazed embarrassment; Our ancestors would weep; Conquers will rightly say we had it coming. “…with all the pomp the community could muster. About 60 people attended the ceremony with Thomas – a blind, bisexual goose – laid to rest in an area by the lagoons. A piper led the […]

And the Racism Continues
By Gekko
Following on from my last post I’ve been meaning to put down some thoughts on the tsunami of anti-white racism that’s been pumped out in the wake of the Christchurch terror attack, in particular by the NZ media. Not usually blatant, and often (to be generous) intended as an act of collective contrition, but dog-whistled […]
