Today's chart after ACT got another $25k The system is rigged

Shouldn't that be "right-wing" Free Speech Union? Same writer, same paper, but only the tax group gets called out as "left-wing" huh? (And if your response is everyone knows the FSU is right-wing: a) they do not, and b) some people think the Nazis were socialist because of their name.)

Daily Indignation@dailyindignation.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Oh are we identifying the ideology of lobby groups now? That's great! I look forward to the NZ Initiative, Free Speech Union, Taxpayers' Union, and every bank economist being called right-wing in the headlines of their numerous self-generated stories from now on.

Hey Siri, who was in power when unemployment was last this horrifically high? … The same people? But I thought they were good at the economy?

Absolutely fantastic work by Mitchell Really does reveal the ludicrous amount of projection from far-right circles alleging leftwing impropriety - the rightwing *parliamentary parties* are being actively entryised by *actual neo nazis* and we can probably draw a clear link to increasing extremism

A senior figure in New Zealand First’s youth wing has been linked to a neo-Nazi group and online accounts that praised Adolf Hitler. Great work from @comingupcharlie.bsky.social www.thepress.co.nz/politics/361...

It’s cool that NZF candidates are essentially running CHCH shooter talking points but they are legitimized as “kingmakers” and not ruled out by everyone *before* the election. Nice country we live in.

You'd think the party that had a convicted sexual abuser as a president for 4 years would want to avoid a policy that could be seen as legalising child abuse #nzpol
