When I was a gullible teenager I would have sided with the WWF, but since I'm an adult now, I realise it's a lobby group with an agenda, and they are just fear-mongering.

Some of the recent climate change articles are getting rather nutty. They are talking about BBQ and gas cooking as if it was a bad thing, and in an article about housing, one author claimed that climate change would alter the housing market, by destroying houses in floods. They cannot go five minutes without injecting their climate change theory into everything.

If moderators are allowed to delete this video and its interviews, that makes them as bad as Reddit and the Christchurch Press. I suppose it's inappropriate for Adam Nuttal and Omar Nabi to question whether Tarrant was given special treatment from the police, to expedite his firearms license, because this suggests that the government is involved in a conspiracy. That's too bad. If a conspiracy is happening in the government then we should be talking about it, not helping them to cover it up.

This is a New Zealand instance and the video that I shared is related to issues of public interest that are highly important for New Zealanders.

My website stats are not that great even after all my effort. I'm glad I gave it a go and set an example, because some people supported me. One guy shouted out to me "bro you're right, landlords ARE parasites". So, most people don't say it out loud, but there are people who agree with me. I was between the university and Ilam New World writing with my chalk, and a group of students walked past. One girl just said "FACTS". They got the message :)

Most New Zealanders are neither here nor there, they just wander aimlessly through life with a passive attitude like NPCs in a computer game. I'm not trying to win over those who are entirely passive "go with the flow, yeah nah bro" kinds of fools. If a few good people saw my chalk and laughed, then it was worth it. I don't care about the unwashed masses who are willing to accept any amount of abuse from landlords or the government. The type of person who rents, but is indifferent to my cause, I ignore them. These people will be the first to line up at the edge of a trench and take a bullet to the back of the head, willingly, if there was an authoritarian government. I'm the person who has to be assassinated or black-bagged first thing because I'm the person who agitates the second tier.

Put it like this:

1. agitators and potential leaders: these people get pissed off first and take action.
2. future activists: they see the actions of the above, and eventually become a type of activist themselves.
3. supporters: they agree with the message but rarely take part in anything, besides agreeing with the message.
4. lemmings: this is the bottom tier, they are totally indifferent. They will occasionally grumble about the cost of living, but they are happy to be taken advantage of. The lemming never does anything to help the cause, and will even grumble about those who take action.

web forums are awesome though, it beats the hell out of discord or whatever gen z is obsessed with.

not my problem that kiwis are so quiet and passive and don't post.

It fails to upload as a comment and I'm not going to resize every single file (assuming that's the issue). Sorry if you're on mobile and don't have a real computer.

I'd agree to teach programming and maths for the minimum wage if they'd let me, but there's probably some BS requirement like needing a degree or having to pass a police check. The only thing I've done wrong is have the wrong thoughts about the government, that's not even a criminal record. They only want brain-dead degree wielders to teach. If you have any anti-government views and don't have a degree, might as well stay on the benefit. They don't like people who engage in wrong-think, even if it's in their own time. The failed education system is by design, and only a fool would think that Luxon and/or more funding will fix it. The education system is rotten to the core. It needs a complete re-work.

Yeah maybe VB isn't so bad, it was the lack of inspiration from teachers and lack of role models and advice that ruined it for me.

You couldn't make me go there just for the money. No way am I going to study 3 years just to become a teacher, when I can teach in a world class city like Moscow with only a minor qualification that takes 1 month to get.

Read the Fight Club book if you haven't.

That last part is the real deal here. Somewhere I have an old screen-shot from Trade Me Forum where a guy said he quit teaching because they basically thought he was a pedo or something like that. As a male, you can't dare be too friendly or jokey with any student, male or female, or you'll have to go through some sexual predator prevention programme or something. It will only get worse, and eventually they will roll out this "woke" training nonsense into every profession. Women control all the cosy office jobs and it's always women in HR who push the anti-male crap.
