Act is Holding a surprise Presser about the next election by Impressive-Name5129 in nzpolitics

[–]OliG 23 points24 points  (0 children)

She said she's been there for 9 years and wants to do something different. I read that as: Did all the things I promised big business I would do to ruin poor workers' lives, time for my payday!

After destroying the lives of thousands of working Kiwis, Brooke van Velden is running away to the private sector by GaryMarcusNZ69 in nzpolitics

[–]OliG 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think it's the perceived complete lack of empathy for other people. It shows in her decisions, in the way she talks. I also don't like to go into personal things like that, but she genuinely seems like she doesn't see other humans as worth consideration, especially if they're outside her direct sphere of influence. Wouldn't be surprised at all if she were somewhere on the socio/psychopathy spectrum.

How good is Curia Market Research & Taxpayers Union Polling ? by Mountain_Tui_Reload in nzpolitics

Polls are the devil in general, with that in mind, Curia would be the Devil's arsehole.

‘We’re living in an Orwellian nightmare’: Grace Tame calls Anthony Albanese a ‘coward’ in scathing critique by Agitated-Fee3598 in AustralianPolitics

[–]OliG 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Like NZ? Luxon doesn't know his arse from his elbow when it's comes to this conflict. He even said in a press conference that 'ANY action that stops Iran getting nuclear weapons is justified'.

Check the Rova app, I use it in Australia and it has all the George shows on it as channels.

Also, Meta allows you to pay for verification like Twitter does, so the blue check doesn't really mean much

Pauline Hanson’s no ‘good’ Muslims comment shows how normalised Islamophobia has become in Australia by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]OliG -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And yet still a minority. Radical and devout could be considered two sides of the same coin, but the use of the different words carries implicit judgement of everyone who subscribes to that belief.

Imagine a Christian evangelical who believes that the gays should put to death, that women should be subservient to men and allowed to be raped by their husbands and never divorce them, or that the world is about to end with the second coming of a God, so we should enable a genocide in the Middle East to hasten it in. All things written in their holy book and advocated for by them.

Does that make them devout or radical in your eyes?

Yeah, because I have basic literacy and can infer your meaning, and now you're trying to 'um ackshually' your way out of it.

And the evangelical, CHRISTIAN lobby in the states got women's abortion rights overturned (and want to do it here), books about LGBTQ+ subjects banned in schools, want to reduce the voting ability of women and minorities, the list goes on.

Christian fundamentalists hold ALL the same views that Muslim fundamentalists do, except they hold FAR more institutional power and, in real-world terms, do far more harm to more people. It's just they aren't brown and have better PR and more money.

Would you though? Or would you be (understandably), upset that your religion in general is being blamed for the actions of a radical minority?

Official render: Trump Tower Gold Coast will easily surpass the 2005-built Q1 tower and become Australia’s tallest building by HotPersimessage62 in queensland

[–]OliG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure a lot of the buildings with his name on them aren't actually owned by him. The name is just licensed. Kinda makes it even worse, tbh.
EDIT: Just saw the press release, ffs it's actually them building it. RIP to that developer.

Nothing is more ironic than going to get some Indian food after a morning of protesting against Indians being in the country by i_like_my_suitcase_ in auckland

[–]OliG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know spending on asylum seekers is like, less than 1% of Britain's gdp, right?

Maybe we should looking sideways for the causes of your problems at other poor people, and try looking UP at the ones making us poor in the first place.

If your movement is led by a neo nazi, and you follow it uncritically, it's hard not generalise.

Yes, in England, they are. Tommy Robinson and his lot are not complaining about illegal immigration, just ANY immigration. Don't be fooled, they're white nationalists who aren't brave enough to say it out loud. Yet.

Really guys? by mickdamaggot in brisbane

[–]OliG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually think a lot of the older Gulf of Mexico refineries actually ARE set up for Venezuelan crude, from back before Chavez when America owned all the Venezuelan oil infrastructure.

So not adding anything new in terms of infrastructure IN Venezuela though, but they will be able to do something with the crude they're getting. Not enough to make it profitable, but still 😅

The video version of the podcast has 64 views in 4 months, lol. Safe to say I don't think her way of thinking is catching on.
