Shoot first, figuratively speaking.

Shut them down, shout them down, and ship them out. Don't let them get a foothold!

Too late for that. NZ First, ACT and National are hiring these people to advise them. Why do you think this dude is here? Why is he on television sitting across an compliant Jack Tame who isn't challenging him?

What advice could the 'finance and economy' party want from a country whose economy and trade value is circling the toilet?

Nah nah, literal’s alright. We don’t want ‘em back.

When the oligarchs bought land in NZ and built their apocalypse bunkers, you didn’t really think they’d let the country remain a social democracy around them, did you?

The question is what are we going to do about it?

Kick them out and let them drown.

NZ should be kicking out foreigners trying to influence the democratic process. Fuck you "free speech". Go back to your country and free speech it out there, cunt.

Hasn’t Peter Thiel been living there for a degrade now?

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Degrading the country sure does come to mind.

Is there a relevant-autocorrect community here? This isn’t the first one.

[–] BalpeenHammer@lemmy.nz 3 points 11 months ago

Instead they are being hired by NZ first, ACT and National.
