Cue a white ham hock ranting “One group of people shouldn’t have more power than the other!”
THEY DON’T HAVE MORE POWER YOU FUCKING IDIOT, YOU’RE JUST MAD THEY HAVE ANY POWER AT ALL!
I fucking hate this racist ass country. Yeah sure, New Zealand should be more like Australia where we just build tacky hotels for corrupt rich white dickheads on top of a sacred indigenous graveyard.
I hate this place. Fuck white colonial mentality. I hate that I’m related to a people that built empires on the skulls of “non-whites.”
NZ went super hard on neoliberalism, much worse than Australia - they’ve done some more tokenism (now ripped up by Luxon) but the outcomes are still shit
Yup, turns out a “progressive” capitalist British colony is still a capitalist British colony
Idk if I’d describe NZ politics as “much worse” than Australia but they’re both absolute shit that’s for sure
I meant in relation to domestic policy, though Australia is closing that gap and exceeding NZ on neoliberal brutality on a couple of fronts
But you still have odd things like no capital gains tax in New Zealand and a very low maximum income tax rate
