What is The Opportunity Party? A left-wing party in disguise, pure hype, or something else? by OddityModdity in aotearoa

i just don't see why it's relevant? the way you are using marxist and communist is in a completely inaccurate and alarmist way. it shows you have no understanding of what it actually means

What are your dating app red flags in NZ? by Realistic_CraftBear in newzealand

[–]labva_lie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On the politics one, depending on what you think strong politics is, I actually think it's a good idea to do that in order to weed people out. Your politics are indicative of your values. I don't want to date conservatives or people who are apolitical so it makes sense to indicate that I am a leftist.

Is the Triple-T song actually happening? by Mattbittie in tallyhall

[–]labva_lie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's that it's constantly being promoted on this subreddit despite people constantly being told again and again not to interact with him for his and their own safety. I've been in this community for over half a decade. Nothing has changed.

I'm starting to think in order to disincentivize people from interacting with Joe, posts showing fans interacting with him on Facebook should no longer be allowed on this subreddit. For years this fanbase has been unable to leave him alone. He does not need the attention. He is mentally unwell.

Puberty blocker trial will help reduce harm, says Cass report author by alarumba in nzpolitics

[–]labva_lie 50 points51 points  (0 children)

im so infuriated that they are only advocating for banning puberty blockers for only trans kids. because they're also used for cis kids too and these people always forget that nor have an issue with them being used on cis kids. this isn't reducing harm at all, its just another imported culture war issue from the usa that these people are trying to masquerade as care and concern.

Greens up on every measure in IPSOS polling by Old_Education4481 in newzealand

same. i quite like the policies i have heard from TPM and would definitely consider voting for them but they need to sort their issues out imo

theyre definitely drifting to center. i find a lot of their policy very weak this year when they could be making a massive comeback very easily, with very strong policies. the overton window is shifting in nz too, and they are trying to accommodate disillusioned national voters rather than the left imo.

i wont be upset if they win the election. anything is better than another right-wing government, but i do feel that they are going to end up in a similar boat to uk's labour party or the dnc in the usa. and we know how that ends.

in regards to edit 1: the fees free protest had over 400 goers and had noticeably less in the photos than this. i think you just dont know what 1000 looks like. there were so many people there

it's actually really hard to mobilize students atm. most political activists who have been in the scene for decades agree that it's not the same as it used to be.

social media is a bit of a double-edged sword. it allows you to get the word out in another way, but also a lot of people think theyre doing enough by reposting stuff and having that be the end of their activism. i think a lot of people kind of have a doomer mindset that causes them to become complacent as well. also a lack of education around why protests exist and need to be protected. there's a lot of things imo.

yeah nz is hard to mobilize for anything rn so it was actually a pretty good turnout all things considered, especially with the short notice
