This needed saying and will need saying again, John - well done. But of course, as you point out, nothing much will change unless the government actively prohibits DEI employment policies. Meantime the onward charge towards mediocrity and advancement based on identity will continue. John R.

So Health Care NZ and NZ Health Group take the Pride Pledge.

Don't they know that Pride is one of the 7 Deadly Sins?

Pride is known as hubris (from the Ancient Greek ὕβρις) or futility.

It is considered the original and worst of the seven deadly sins—the most demonic—on almost every list.

Pride is also thought to be the source of the other capital sins.

Pride is viewed as the opposite of humility.

Another example of failing to achieve simple promises they campaigned on despite clearly having the mandate to do so. Follows the same pattern of backsliding with education and local democracy policy, passing the buck leaving it up to someone else to decide the outcome. Individual school boards deciding on their own Te Tiriti obligations and councils determining voting rights when all that was required was a clear unambiguous directive in law putting an end to this BS and wokeness.

Spot on Jeremy. How many times have we heard the promises? Only to see them never fulfilled? Removing the Maori seats? Fuck me, that was a formal recommendation when we got MMP! Removing co-governance? Yeah, right…. Cutting the size of the public sector? Just cowards, weak as piss.

That explains the protestors I saw yesterday as part of the National Day of Action against the Legislation (Definitions of Woman and Man) Amendment Bill (also called the Gender Definitions Amendment Bill). Organized by Queer Endurance in Defiance (QED) and allies, the event focused on defending trans and intersex rights. 🤮

I prefer MEI (Merit, Excellence, and Intelligence). After all, look what happened early Saturday. 🚀🛰️ X and 🚀lab.

Nice one John. Keep up the good fight. Boris is well fed up with the moronic practices we now see as the default in Western societies. Watching retarded pink haired atheists and crystal loving wannabe dipshit spiritualists unite to sing songs to non-existent ghosts should make any sane person cringe. Time to heap some real scorn upon Te Ao Maori and all its bullshit. You do a good job of that here John, more power to you.

This is typical of the bullshitting, bloviating, buffoon Peters doing what he does best - halfcocked !

So NZ First can claim nothing because nothing will change.

Yes. DEI is all of this but most importantly it is a division creator- specifically to divide groups -(classes) of people and have them fight against the other - Marxism divided by class because that is what he Karl Marx knew, communism today divided by race and more - think rainbow. It’s hard to believe but 50 or more years of thought by Russian communists has been put into how to divide the west and this is it. And they’ve done a great job at this communist propaganda, the populace does not realize they are being manipulated towards mediocrity, the universal wage, high crime, division and stagnation in govt, and the eastern countries keep pumping out massive carbon, energy, manufacturing, industrial pollution they don’t care, and economic brics nation power. And the gullible New Zealander (and many other nations) thinks it’s about less carbon footprint, saving the planet and reducing poverty.

Agreed Cindy. “We” are all categorically distinct but intersectionally aligned and united. Madness

Lionel Shriver's recent novel 'Mania' paints a prophetic picture of where DEI will lead us.

It's a wonderful read (as is her latest novel) for book lovers who appreciate 'non-woke' literature.

The deck has already been stacked, its too late. Enjoy your collapse.

I’m enjoying the fight Karl. Everything is eventually lost but some things are worth fighting for to prolong

Just Boris's avatar

Nah, sanity will eventually prevail. Western society will eventually realise that perverted weirdos aren’t good for the place. That they actually do want normal blokes around. That PLO scarves aren’t cool. And that the jihadi morons really do want to kill us.

It may take a while longer still. We just need to stop saving fuckwits from their own ideologies and really start to fight back. “If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.” Thomas Sowell
