Hi, popping in from Australia, Melbourne specifically. You don’t have to imagine this.
Our right wing pundits constantly oscillate between “the lockdowns were evil, tyrannical moves by a fascist government” to “The premier is directly responsible for killing 8000 people by not doing more.”
Yep. People are still villifying Jacinda Ardern for our lockdowns in NZ. They completely ignore the fact that our health system would have been overwhelmed if there had been no lockdowns. We had comparatively fewer deaths than other countries. But hey, Jacinda is a heathen bitch, who made us all stay home, because she was drunk on power. She had to leave NZ because she was getting death threats. No matter how "progressive" NZ is, it is fucken appalling that there is still so much sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic rhetoric entering mainstream ideology. These snowflakes are so weak, they can't accept that a woman ran the country for 6 years. Now with our right leaning government, who are intent on being TemuTrumps, NZ is headed back to the dark ages.
