I sort of struggle with the definition of genocide. Certainly atrocious what's happening there but Genocide, nah, don't think so.
Have a google at genocide episodes around the globe over the last 100 years and see what pops up

Yeah perhaps it doesn't strictly qualify yet, but herding a whole population of starving people into ghettos and bombing them must be getting close.

You bastard, after all those times I joined your team against Wiz.

That's offensive

Not allowed to be offended anymore, or you get labelled a snowflake

Her friends in TPM are the essence of performative politics (and not much else) but I guess I can't say that as it is probably due for a label.
Her who must be obeyed looking over my shoulder wants to know what TPM have done since they entered parliament?
Ps, She and DNP are not besties

DNP is good at tax calculations

I agree with her, the current iteration of TPM are more divisive than constructive. Then again, the other side of the whare is full of corporate shills, big tobacco lobbyists and bloody ACTors. If politics is stagecraft, ours is like a high school production of The Sound of Music with Chloe as Julie Andrews.

That's strangely arousing.

I had a thing for Julie Andrews.

My mum was a big Sound of Music fan, I think I was raised on the movie, probably my first exposure to Nazis now I think of it.

But no apolopgy.... you're banned from the House for one week

I'm old enough to know about the film her husband starred her in. And I couldn't get in to see it. What have you done W2d, you've derailed the thread. And me.

Self banned. But I am going to the game tomorrow as penance

It's called Victor/Victoria, my mum took me to see it without knowing anything about it. Oh boy.

You really are a sucker for punishment, aren't you

I can't believe you've made me do this - what a corrupting movie.

His societal collapse posts are turning me into a doomsday prepper.

Seems like a bit of a beat up this whole Swarbrick drama needing to apologise. Doesn’t seem much different to John key’s get some guts little outburst years ago. Even Winston has said is it really any worse than someone saying cunt in parliament

Difference was he wasn't trying to bring in a bill (unlike Chloe) through Parliament that was going to effect NZ foreign policy.... he wanted Labour, through the Cabinet, to change their Foreign Policy.

Huge difference!!! One was working through the established system why the other was trying to usurp it.

 

[miket12]

Saved, thanks Noitall! Yeah exactly.

No... absolutely the opposite.

Why’s that Mike?
