The basic premise here is false. Social changes can come from the top, and have. For instance the example of decriminalising homosexuality, followed now by criminalising the attempt to persuade people *not* to be homosexual ("conversion therapy"). Economic issues cannot be separated from values; this is an attempt to win the argument by definition, for instance assuming neoliberalism or globalism are good or at least socially neutral. Culture wars always exist and cannot be avoided. Yes the left all over the West is increasing division, however this has been building for hundreds of years as majority values shifted. One of the most concerning things is how most of the left, especially the younger left, no longer believes in free speech. If we don't hash these things out with words, there can be no resolution apart from violence. As we see happening in the US. Although it should be noted that this has happened many times before in communist revolutions. A better word for the modern culture wars is Cultural Revolution.

Where did the common room go?

Great lesson, great explanation. Like your wofks, professor Moon. I am interested in your sources about Josip Broz Tito. As we know, he did not negate Slovenian and Macedonian people, but quite opposite.

Nope. She allowed Marxist Atheism an opportunity to get crushed in NZ. National, Winston and Shane will keep it crushed. God defend New Zealand 🙏💪

Yes, for the worse

Worst Prime Minister in New Zealand history. Period.

If history didn’t matter then all the lefty weirdo’s wouldn’t be so driven to revisionism.

None of those so called news sites allow comment here in NZ on YT for eg. They have taken millions of NZ citizens tax payers money yet they do not abide any kind of commentary reaction on their own one sided BS so called “news reporting”. We need companies that can make their own profits from advertising rev etc and report the news in an even way instead of taking every opportunity to tack what isn’t left. Newshub, TVNZ, etc are all financially incompetent. No more handouts Good riddance.

She has completely stuffed New Zealand, I just hope we came come back from it.

She’s a total narcissistic slime ball, never to be forgotten for what she enforced on the New Zealand population.

She died. RIP Jabcinda WEF.

Ardern gave away the country. Gave the self-proclaimed victims entitlement and written into law that takes away fro our democracy that will be hard to get back.

Not for the better.

Arden did so much damage to social/racial harmony.Creating a special class of people’s with more entitlement than others,thankfully the majority of kiwis were wide awake,saw the damage being done and sent her packing. The new coalition government is now working through this damage and hopefully creating a society where all people’s are equal,where everyone has the chance to succeed in life

Hence why it’s collapsed 😅kiwis are sick of this leftist bs. That’s why everyone stopped watching because shows like the project are crap

100% extreme bias in the NZ media, spreading racist division and then calling others racist when they are called out.

No one but the fools still voted Labour

lmao "we got one of new zealand's most idiotic right wing hacks to complain about how nobody likes him"

People have a short memory, and Ardern will be forgotten long before the country recovers from the mess she left behind. Meanwhile she is enjoying the adoration of strangers in America, who know nothing other than what they are fed on social media. Even an honorary doctorate at exalted US University. What a woman! From serving fish and chips and being paid peanuts, to $500,000 a year, plus ongoing benefits. Not bad for a devoted socialist. One has to wonder if she will pop up someday as a celebrated philanthropist. I think not.

Aunty Jacinda done what I never thought possible in my lifetime yet here we’re. Real transformation in coming for the betterment of everyone

that about sums it up perfectly....

Who pulled down statues, burned books, and denigrated professors in the past? The radcials and revolutionaries. It's the same thing, just taking on a different form. Radicalism [a certain way of viewing history] not history is the problem.

What matters more Mr Moon? Disinterested history or your career? Please stand up to the radical revising of our history by political activists.

Thanks to Ardern she opened the doors for National....by fkng up & fkng off😆😂🤣😅👍

On RNZ this morning you are once again moaning about online abuse you suffered whilst an MP? You yourself generated that justified response with your irresponsible and failed social policy that failed economically disadvantaged people it was your responsibility to take care for! Wear the shame forever that you yourself created 'sweetie'!

I showed a leftie mate of mine the 5:1 ratio of left:right journalists and he said "what's wrong with that?" Isn't it amazing? If it were the other way round, the crybaby intolerable left would be throwing tantrums left right and centre ;)

I strongly agree. The lack of a working class voice in parliament is a scandal. If we end up with a populist government we will deserve it.

Big assumption here is that by growing ‘the national pie’ we will all be better off. This is another version of ‘trickle-down’ economics which has been shown not to work.

Clearly someone whose neither worked in the public service nor a regular user of those services…

Equity is not possible and has never been achieved anywhere or any time in history..... T. Sowell.

Ardern drove a wedge into the New Zealand public but we managed to stop it, with a new right wing government. Ardern flew on Air New Zealand last week with 6 security officers, answers the question.

If Equality means the same Rights, Status and Opportunities and Equity is "harder to define"... so obviously the only good option is Equality. Why would I support somethi g that is illdefined, or defined in the moment by a group of individuals who have been given authority. Authority by who? Equity is clearly nonsense

her legacy is she entered parliament with 800,000 dollars around, and left with around 25 million. thats her economics

what rubbish. New Zealands immigration overload has left the nationals of the country, homeless, jobless and healthless. 2.5 million foreigners now outnumber the NZ maoriAnglo people. the polytechnics are all going bankrupt due to free schooling for immigrants that dont want to pay.

What a load of...false equivalence.

Definitely not

Until iwi have 50/50 control of the government nothing will change. Labour made a lot of progress towards this, and we must unite in protests to stop the current government trying to backtrack.

Could have been a very interesting vid. On the contrary this korero feels very twisted intellectually from the start.. dropping the Equity concept because it is… too difficult to grasp (what?!). Undermining the concept (and consequently the implementation/funding/etc) of equality under the pretext that equal outcomes are ‘impossible’ shows an intellectually and morally wrong thinking/behaviour. No political party is advocating for all to become doctors, scientists, writers, artists, etc.. This korero eventually makes this Dr sound stupid!

Equity does not mean equal outcomes for all, so the whole argument falls over. Equity is about being fair and reasonable.

Interesting interview of your's with your journalism Mina.

Arden did a lot of good for the people and New Zealand who ever keeps criticising Jacinda are the negative society the type who fault find and never see any goodness in anyone .

To Mike King, I like your interview with Jenny May two years ago. Mental Health system is TOO BROKE!! I spoke to the Mental Health about my older brother's medication and why there has been no proper psychiatric assessment done for him for over 30 years, and the same medication he has been on has made life for him worse as the years have gone by. I went to the Police to talk about my older brother and the medications he has been on for many years. Yet the Police gave me the Mental Health Crisis phone number. I did ring the Mental Health Crisis number and gave them a earful about the psychological and emotional abuse I have suffered at our house because of a medication that has made my older brother worse as the years have gone by. I believe Privacy Laws need to change to make things easier for the system to recognize family members and what they have experienced with those who take psychiatric drugs at home and have those talks more openly. Matt

You are saying the same things that: Luxon, Seymour, Peters want. Let us see that they make reality for all of us. In a short time, thinking back, we are so far down the tube right now. Like investing in a product with a shrinking market biting us.

trust nothing

God, no!

As someone who was on the benefit for three years and constantly in and out of jobs, I do really relate to Paula’s story. She was a solo mother as a teenager, received welfare, felt inspired to go back to work but returned to welfare when she was exhausted, then eventually made a fresh start for herself following a serious tragedy in her whanau. I haven’t experienced a similar tragedy, but I do relate to the exhaustion that working causes, and the need for some support when you’re still figuring what’s best for you - or in her case, for her and her daughter. HOWEVER, while I understand her reasons for welfare reform when she was MSD, it’s not healthy for the government to be pressuring people to get off the benefit and into work. My time on welfare, as someone with a neurological disability, would have been far more stressful if I was in a government program that was pushing me into work before I was ready. Having welfare as a fallback really puts my mind at ease, knowing that I can at least eat if it turns out the job I’m in isn’t right for me and I need some time to figure out what’s next - or worse, if I suffer a crippling change in circumstances or I suffer another breakdown (which can happen to anyone), I know I’ll still have support. She’s totally right on victimhood - you can’t help when bad things happen to you but you do choose to be a victim. But I understand how her reforms fell flat with the general public. If you push people too hard, you push them away and it’s not progressive.

While I understand the sentiment of this piece, I do feel that it is rather misleading. The implication from Josie is that we will have no choice but to buy the edited versions of Dahl's books. This is not the case, as Puffin will be releasing the old unedited versions in parallel, providing a choice of whichever version you wish to purchase. This is hardly an attack on free speech, the mere fact that we are able to discuss it on this platform is further evidence that we are able to think and speak freely. I, myself, prefer the original versions of the Dahl books and will be reading them to my grandchildren in due course. I am very grateful that I live in a world where I am free to choose. So, come on people, let's stop overreacting to this imaginary threat to our freedoms and focus on issues that really matter.

Wasnt Fakechel Smalley telling unvaccinated people should not receive any healthcare and all should be jabbed? Now I've found out she works for Big Pharma as a lobbyist. Isnt this a clear conflict of interest? Very corrupt.

it is an utter and total disgrace.Cancer is a major big deal, amongst other disease. Totally retarded ideology.

Your right, we dont all succeed by a mass over-redistribution of money. BUT nor do we succeed by allowing massive flows of capital from abroad to buy all our houses and assets etc. (We saw how little we had in terms of resources during Covid). Your party wants to let interests from abroad buy property here over 2 million dollars - a low threshold for the literally hundreds of thousands of transient millionaires circulating around the world right now. All to recover some shitty stamp duty. In the regions of NZ I live I've seen kiwis priced out of the local market over and OVER again. I'm an old school Lefty. But I've gone Right over the years. But in reality, there is nowhere for people like me who hate the loser culture of the Left but also dont want to sell NZ downstream to the highest bidder. Just saying.
