I hope this doesn't happen also but the latest trends have been away from ramraids and more towards stabbings.

Not a good sign
Your definition of good old days is? What does that represent to you exactly Wiz?
As the effects of 50 years of neoliberalism intensify, individualist drones believing the right, far right and screeds of disinformation multiply and communities and social structure breaks down as a result, a result of deliberate campaigns from the right, we will have more and more people turning to this stuff.
My oldest wanted his mother to teach him how to drive. So, against my better judgement I said ok, go for it. And he did ok but she taught him how she drives, which I knew would happen. Didn't talk about planning the trip, scanning ahead and not just looking at the car in front of him, checking his shoulder and not just relying on the mirror etc. He failed his first attempt at getting his restricted. I jumped in the car with him and got him to take me for a drive and I wouldn't have passed him either. I think many learner drivers aren't ready for driving as soon as they think they are, in a rush to get their license rather than getting everything set. They can drive but don't understand driving if that makes sense. I ended up putting in a fair bit of time with him, unlearning a coupe of things and reinforcing good habits. Passed easily the next time. He went on a defensive driving course and got time taken off for his full license. He is an excellent driver now.
Negative police officers to date - Sunny Kaushal & Paul Goldsmith want '5 million Kiwis' to help fight crime
Police numbers are now -72 compared to November 2023 as police attrition increases. Kaushal leads a $3.6mn govt funded retail crime committee to come up with solutions, and is paid $920 a day for it.

Ahh yes, because individualism is at the heart of socialism and communism now isnt it.

Except it peaked under Ardern during covid.
In my experience we need to slowly and steadily move to a more complex and futuristic society. It just needs to be slow enough so people don’t burn out and disengage with the struggling people pushed over the edge.
Both sides left and right take us towards a safer and more complex ‘best practice’ society

to big a topic to broach here but I would sum it up as a kiwi number 8 wire practically mentality based on common sense and a can do attitude.
It’s deteriorated with nanny state; overdone H&S; can’t discipline kids, unattainable best safety practice standards; etc. We’ve choked ourselves into one of the most expensive places in the world to live and nothing gets done at the pace or quantity we need. More and more are dissatisfied with how middle NZ can’t get ahead (hence your neoliberalism bent) and giving up on traditional organised society which isn’t working for them..
No, disinformation has been a long term campaign of the right and malicious actors like putin for a long time now

Right…
Half those sovereign citizen clowns don’t listen to news or take in much info.
They’ve been screwed over by society, can’t get ahead and if we have a top 1%; these guys are usually the bottom 1%.
They are a product of our society. They are opting out and want to be left alone.
Putin doesn’t get them driving in unregistered; unwarranted cars with no drivers license.
You're way off wiz.

Suits politicians not the NZ public.
They give an unpopular ideological push for the first half the term and then suddenly start being populist and hope we forget. The longer they have between elections the more unpopular stuff they will do.
Annual elections would keep them honest
I am sure it would take a hell of a lot more than that Wiz.Suits politicians not the NZ public.

Cutting off their tongues still wouldn't change anything.
30,000 rats, pfft I've seen more than that at Addington stadium
A tad disengenous, seeing as it's clearly utilised by parties of all political ideologies...
