A crazy ravy rant!
This is a rough mash up of stuff that as you’ll see is not written to show off my fancy writers skills, just I’ve stuff been mulling over and wrote some out
Many online orators are very good and very articulate when it comes to pointing out, identifying and describing the things we don’t like and find unfair, especially when it comes to how we run the country, how we should be taxed fairly, paid fairly, how all the levers of financial advantage, seem to, by law, favour the wealthy, and disproportionately cause hardship for everyone else.
Some are very good. Their videos garner much recognition for the direct and accessible way they give people understanding of societies overlay of ekistic practices and how they’re codified and practised by this political and parliamentary system.
However what I don’t see enough of is, anyone with a great ability to see and orate, a description of any way out of it, away from subjugation and toil to enrich just a few, ways forward, that are feasible enough, common sense enough, understandable enough, palatable enough, well thought out, implementable things that will make both, immediate and real long term difference in the trajectory of our society. The happiness and wellbeing of the people therein, and nature at large.
govts grew out of the need to aggregate and organise resources, land, people, trade, armies. Now that we are dominated by personal economic boundaries, the top money makers who are ultimately in control how money is used, manipulate the markets, and are taking humanity on a ride to ripoff town.
With the majority of people kept where they cant save for a house or pay for higher education, a whole sector of the population is kept where their wages cover only their housing, food and fuel. Where their wages are turned into surviving for the week and giving hundreds in profit to “them”.
Slaves cutting sugar cane for their masters.
It’s the agenda that govt supports and perpetuates that is causing the whole mess, is the agenda a few own everything and profit from it and everyone else is a chicken laying eggs for them.
I want nothing to do with national or labour, neither of them have done a thing to stop us from ending up here, with more poor people, more pollution and crime, higher prices and less access to healthcare and higher education than ever before.
The rise of the mega corporations and there ability to control, manipulate and coerce govt, codifying slavism using economic policy, stripping the earth of resources for short term gain, making sure the majority will never own their own home or have access to higher education and healthcare, kept at peak spending by a system of interest, subscription, premiums and fees to maximize your turnover.
The world, the troubles, the inflation, the climate crisis, ai, oil, USA, Israel and Russia still slaughtering to take land and resources and the whole corporations running the world, the situation looks less than ideal.
I mean there are farmers planting a few flax along their polluted waterways while they pour oil derived fertilizer on their depleted land, much of the visible effort is little more than tokenization rather than large scale committed action, like removing plastic supermarket bags and straws, actually implemented but ridding us of 0.00000001% of plastic waste, lets do it to coca cola and the food packaging industry, lets get rid of 99% of plastic!
We make minuscule changes where it would really make a difference to our society and the world, while making policy changes that take away millions of govt(the peoples) money from social good, to let already profiting landlords and corporations, profit more.
The profit of those corporations must be curtailed and the money rerouted to social good, food, electricity, rent, university
I don’t want to fight for this New Zealand, for this economic system, this kind of politics, the poverty, the police, the grind, a system that profits from making you work harder than you need to and paid less than you need, while protecting and supporting the wealthy who profit from it.
I want to build things I would fight for. A New Zealand where I don’t worry about our children, the world they are growing up in, and how it’s going to go for them.
Let’s describe the new thing
With utterly and absolutely zero spin,
no economy blah spin blah, jobs blah spin blah.
Solid plans, but flexible enough.
Kick off an exemplary welfare system to support society, massively expand what universities are, and make being able to go there affordable/free.
We don’t need to make you richer, we going to make it cost less, a lot less.
Someone needs to…. sorry not me…
To speak/narrate a story about how the people of Aotearoa chose a whole new approach to how their country was run, and the outcomes they sought.
Lets make explicit the direction and the goals.
Give an easy to understand straight forward explanation of why we are choosing these things and the way to get there.
Things like…
Every region could initiate large scale market gardening operations. Every region will produce its own vegetables, milk, cheese, eggs etc. The whole fragile supply chain would be replaced with a network of hyper resilient, coordinated local food systems. The design and purpose of which is to supply at the lowest cost, a quality nutritious and varied A+ diet for all.
Capitalism, making it a dog eat dog world since way back. Turning life into a business and a way to profit from others, and like a game of monopoly, there’s always that point where it becomes a forgone conclusion how the game will end.
Luxon PM: I know and am aware that I live an infinitely better life than 99.9% of kiwis, every other day I am at a dinner that costs more than the food you can afford for the week, I have literally thousands of dollars disposable income a week and I don’t care that a wealthy landlord is profiting from your rent while you struggle with student debt, paying for electricity or feeding your family, even as the leader of the nation, I will put my profit before your ability to afford healthcare or eat well enough. Profiting from you without a conscience is how I have a $10M holiday home while people live in their cars. I’m not leading anything but a clever way for rich people to live off the poor, hahaha.
We don’t want people running things who would take more than they need for themselves by taking it out of the mouths of others.
Business, and a growth economy is how you are being used on the money farm, to turn your toil into the $400 million supermarket owners got in profit last year, and god only knows how much in mortgages and rent.
They, yes “They”, there is definitely a “They”, and they are using oil to make fertilizer to put on land they made barren to create second rate food, this is not an answer to a good diet for humans, it’s about profitable product and it’s making us sick, it’s time to upgrade.
It is the system itself that is ruining your life.
We need to replace some parts of it with things that enhance wellbeing and ease, rather than more hard work to make more money that goes to profit and tax for the wealthy, instead using it to create a functioning health system, food system and housing system… a fucking easy, happy system.
We want to ensure everyone is fed well and has an ok place to live, exceptional education available and time to enjoy being alive.
Everybody that’s working for good in this country, for health, wellbeing more affordable food and housing, are all up against a govt that works with corporations to take money that “would” provide that better service or lower cost, into profit, diminishing the health and wellbeing of our society. Privatisation i.e. turning institutions of public good and social support, into owned, corporate “for profit” machines, removing environmental and social protections , instead of strengthening them, and the only reason for it is to make more money, as cheaply as possible at the very limits of acceptable quality, morals and ethics. They are officially not working for the people any more they are working for corporate profit dollars, and they’ll clearly cross ethical and moral boundaries to do so. If you think they are about fixing the environmental and social problems we face, you need better education about what’s going on, the players, and their goals. The only thing that turns this around is working from a completely new playbook. People with completely different reasons for getting out of bed in the morning than doing things for more money.
Making sure business interests are prioritized and get satisfied is funneling all the money that people would have used for their home, health food and fun, to millionaires and billionaires, how the fuck else do you think they come to be! All their money came from you and me, as tax and profit, it has created 3000 billionaires, 28,000 with over $100 million, 250,000 with over 30 million They pay you too little and charge you too much and they are getting obscenely rich and you are becoming a powerless wretch, forced to take out private health insurance, or have no healthcare.
We want a successful nation of happy people in fantastic natural surroundings, not a couple of dozen high profit corporations on a chemical wasteland.
I’m not anti business, but it should damn well share its profit with the nation and the peoples infrastructure and systems, we’re not all here for corporate profit, a well functioning and affordable society must come first, not the prioritization of profit, the fiduciary responsibility needs to move from shareholders to the betterment of the society you operate in.
We have everything we need and a great place to do it.
The real great reset we want and need is not to digital ID and AI, but to superior wellbeing, eradicating depression by making happy lives possible again.
Where you get for free, or at the lowest cost possible,
A Health system, Education system, Road and rail system, Telecommunications system, Housing system and Food system.
Not geared toward profit, but inexpensive, efficient delivery of A+ products and services for all.
We want a healthy middle, not an obese top and a starving bottom.
Economic growth has to end, it needs to be replaced with stabilization, we don’t make more of anything, especially profits for millionaires, while people are hungry or unhoused. Full Stop!
We can not keep funnelling millions of dollars to a few already wealthy people and corporations while thousands go without, It has to change.
The studies are in, if you foster wellbeing, poverty, crime, drug abuse and suicide go down automatically, why are we not doing it?, because the wealthy who make the rules don’t want their profit diminished and work actively with govt to keep it all tilted in their favour.
If you truly want freedom and contentment
then we need to go from cheering on The Resistance, to being it.
Taking our country back and living as sovereign individuals in a sovereign nation.
It is getting too late to keep talking without some doing, we need to make our minds up and vote with our hearts about the kind of New Zealand we want.
Here’s a few starting places….
1. NZ as a natural paradise, free from genetically modified foods, polluted waterways, and single use plastic.
2. Housing will become not for profit.
Govt buying houses and then doing rent to buy for first home buyers.
3. Farmers will be subsidised to become organic, reduce chemical load on the land and to re-naturalise growing food.
4. Every region will produce its own vegetables, milk, cheese, eggs etc. The whole fragile supply chain will be replaced with a network of hyper resilient, coordinated local food systems.
5. The whole phone and internet system will fall under govt control, and cut all tax and profit from it, kiwis would pay something like $20 a month all in for their internet and phone.
6. Every household gets their first 25 kWh of power a day free.
7. Everyone in govt will be means tested and if you already are getting $250k+ pa, nothing for you, you’ll be doing the job because it’s important to you, not for an extra $250k-$500k.
Govts are acting like military dictatorships rather than stewards of our wellbeing. Their command and control over our economy to decide who gets the easy money, and who will struggle at the bottom. Riding roughshod over the regulation of industry, letting it further degrade nature, in the face of already catastrophic degradation. When all the evidence is saying we need to do something yesterday and stop doing the things causing pollution and biodiversity loss, while a whole section of society become poor and another becomes grotesquely wealthy is a sure sign the the govt is broken.
The Government… supposed to lead and administer the country for the benefit of all, now obviously pandering to a wealthy minority at the expense of everyone else, to build some mythical economy, some kind of speadsheet living that seems to emulate a game of monopoly, and that now feels like we’re a few rolls of the dice from the inevitable end.
Deliberately designed to divide, just enough left leaning, and not too right, giving us the illusion we’re choosing our destiny both parties taking us into the new dark ages.
Left and Right, 2 different views of politics to control the human race via govt, through a capitalist agenda or a globalist agenda… they are both the same agenda they just swap them back and forward and use different words, to give the illusion that through voting, you are getting choice and have any actual influence over what you’re going to get… look where it’s gotten us so far. People in debt up to there eyeballs, prices and rent that always keep rising, interest rates that go up, substantial and continuing losses to the natural world, corporations taking the last of the natural resources to plunder and profit from. It doesn’t matter which party is in power, you’re going to keep getting the same bs, it’s been going on for decades hasn’t changed or has got worse every decade, and people keep voting for the same fuckwits in the vain hope they’re going to fix it, it’s not the house of parliament, it’s a house of pantomime, where the stock market and the interests of big business is looked after, not the health system( they’ve been slowly degrading it, and handing that off to the private sector for years). Schools, don’t even get me started… stressful, often cruel training camps for the factory and office NPCs, university, out of reach or comes with 10-20 years of debt, you cant rent and save for a house at the same time, landlording to extort is openly supported by the govt, what they are doing is destroying the middle to build a top and a bottom.
Fuck National and Labour and the rest of them, none of them have done a thing to stop us from ending up here with more poor people, more pollution and crime, with less access to healthcare, housing and higher education than ever before.
Our children will never know the David Attenborough world, it is all being turned into industrial resources for consumer markets, like cattle on a farm, but its brainwashed monkeys.
The right is on the path to crushing the left by making it the bottom, forcing you to have health insurance and your own pension plan, paying for water, convincing you that you haven’t got enough because of immigrants and beneficiaries when in reality it’s them taking billions off the top that keeps you poor and without sovereignty. They’ve learned how to manipulate and control, tax rates, wage rates, interest rates, fuel prices, all the while the govt ensures the 99% are all paying billions to the 1%.
Elections rotate management without disturbing ownership.
Politicians keep you fighting over tax cuts , subsidies, crime, gender policies , anything to inflame divisiveness and cause noise to prevent any cohesive opposition forming to oppose this corporate takeover, 90 percent of all we’re doing on earth is to power and feed this corporate monster that wants to eat it all.
We need a plan and a leadership to get from here to there..
Are you ready to roar, quietly succinctly, effectively.
Are you ready to for happiness and stability.
Are you ready to plant the seeds of building a new way.
We need to be the voice of humanity, the voice of the land, the voice of nature itself, the voices of our future selves looking back at what we’re doing now. We need to acknowledge that we need common sense and policies that have nothing to do with money to shape our plans for the near future. With our current trajectory, there will never again be anything of the original nature of planet earth, it’s almost as good as over already.
New Zealand could really be the promised land, something that is actually setting its sights on and implementing a way to being a special place to be, a place where poverty doesn’t happen, where simple surgery waitlists don’t happen. Where youth is given education and resources to aim and achieve higher.
Lets do a new kind of of Aotearoa.
Lets update this whole bag of shit that is our political system it was built in the 1800s, it is no longer the fucking 1800s, it has throughout the past crept further and further from its utility as civic management, toward infrastructure for corporate profit, aka a growth economy. It needs to be updated to align better with the needs of the people and the planet, and not to fullfil the desires of for profit business interests.
I think as humans we’ve swung wildly off course and need to reevaluate and update the whole paradigm about what we are doing here on earth, and how we are going about it .
We are all shaping the future, our children’s future. How long can we stick our heads in the sand and keep going along with what we know isn’t right, what will move us to stand up and choose the morally and ethically higher ground, for ourselves, our children, and their children. Will we be looked back on as spineless wretches who let our selves and our children be sold out, or the ones that brought us back from the brink.
The factory farming of kiwis for profit must end, and I would say, if you want to make money off others and to live better than them, you are hereby invited to leave. If you, instead of giving your money to corporations as profit, would rather redirect that enormously significant amount of money to healthcare, housing and university, you’re invited to stay and participate in a social wellbeing program, that will make the scandinavians look like amateurs.
We have the best farmland around, fantastic growing conditions, but we use it to make milk and sell it for billions in profit, while kids in our country go hungry, if you dont want socioeconomic slums, don’t let there be poor people and give them better things to do with their time than drugs and crime.
Growing food, learning, trades, going to university
Dear people of New Zealand, this probably is your last election and last chance to avoid CBDCs, GMOs and Digital ID, You’ll be running in a hamster wheel to create wealth for a class of people who see you only as cattle on their money farm. Cucked and hobbled while your landlords banks and supermarkets make billions in profit.
Lets vote with our hearts to build a country with heart!
Let’s make Aotearoa the jewel on earth it wants to be!.
