Boycott New Zealand

Let's hit the state sanctioned violence against women where it hurts - in their pockets.

Off the top of my head:

Wine - Oyster Bay, Villa Maria, the Ned, Wairau Cove, Brancott Eatate, Cloudy Bay
Lamb - check the label to make sure it's British
Manuka honey and ordinary honey - M&S stock quite a few.
Wool
Allbirds shoes
Canterbury clothing.

Have I missed anything?

Also write to the PM: [email protected]
Minister for trade: [email protected]

And tell them you're boycotting and why. There's no point if they don't know you're doing it!

'have no interest to me except as an objects'

Saying the quiet part out loud there.

They aren’t the people I’m writing for.

So who are you writing for? Because those are the people whose behaviour we are condemning on this thread, and the people whose behaviour New Zealand's politicians, including the prime minister, condoned.

Strange how some people reveal how they seem to think of themselves while showing they are not able to process diverse thinking and opinions from a range of people, even one they don't like, and while needing to resort to emotional manipulation and misrepresentation to convince anyone. Once you see the disconnect, it is very clear.

^ absolutely

I didn’t tag or quote you and you in fact didn’t leave me alone, you posted on my thread and reported me asking you to leave it. Since you haven’t apologised for your racist ugly comments about my family I’ll chat with the other women here about the goady posts anyone makes as much as I want.

I suspect the people that some posters define as 'sane' are very different from what the majority define as 'sane'.

Sane people also can listen to someone's views on one thing and take information from it and go and do their own research while abhorring the speaker's views on other things. Like a NZ nurse who speaks out about puberty blockers despite having views that some may not agree with about covid vaccines. Sane people will listen and read to a wide range of views and come to their own position using information from different sources.

@landOFconfusion Please could you share your definition of sane?

My audience 😂😂😂😂 hate? Like writing disparaging comments about other peoples family? Deluded, unbelievably deluded.

I’ve been ignoring you like you asked, hua kōrero. Take your whakahoki kōrero someplace else.

I don’t write for the lost. Once minds become addled by hate they have no interest to me except as an objects of psychological pathology.

I write for the sane. If you can’t understand this then you aren’t my audience.

I doubt anyone who read your post where you victim blamed Fred Sargeant for his severe assault because he chose to peacefully protest what an event he was instrumental in actually starting had become vs what he dreamed would believe this post.

Imagine failing to recognise that violent action, blaming the 70 something victim for holding a sign with words on it for being there and being severely beaten.

Then add to that writing what you have posted over the past week, Including what has been deleted, we have seen those too…

To produce this gem!

Sane people recognise the victim blaming in your posts. The inability to truthfully and honestly dismiss violence towards non-violent people speaking words you disagree with or holding up words on signs you disagree with.

Sane people don’t believe that words are literal violence. Same people will listen to diverse opinion because it means they will be better informed, they will know what others are saying, analyse it and dismiss parts they don’t think adds to their understanding.

Sane people also recognise the tactics used when posters have absolutely nothing to support the constant stream of emotional manipulation and misrepresentation in posts. They see when a poster regularly resorts to personal attacks.

I think sane people see right through this gem. Imagine believing this would be convincing to sane people who have seen what this poster has written since being on this board (and what has been deleted).

I went out and bought some more anti-moth stuff. I would hate for my brilliant Icebreaker thermals to be damaged and for me not to be able to replace them. They kept me going through a winter of having the theromostat set at 16 degrees.

I'm so sick of all this Nazi nonsense.

If neo Nazis show up at these events, it's not because they support women's rights, it's because they hate trans people and want to cause mayhem. If trans activists didn't show up to protest against women speaking about women's rights, I can't imagine any Nazis would have bothered showing up. Does anyone seriously think they'd have turned up to support Kellie-Jay Keen and other women talking about women's spaces and women's sports? Because I do not.

Ultimately if you think believing that biological sex is real and important and that women should be allowed to have their own single sex spaces and sports is a far right position, what does that say about you? (Other than that you have clearly never read a book.)

An intelligent person would not say, "I oppose single sex spaces and sports for women because only the far right supports those things and I am left wing."

An intelligent person would be asking themselves why the hell the political left doesn't seem to think women should have those things.

And they would be asking themselves why the focus is on a few twats with Swastika tattoos who will show up anywhere there's likely to be trouble because that's their idea of a fun day out, and not on the large group of people supposedly representing the trans community, who show up to women's rights events with balaclavas and weapons to commit acts of violence against women.

If you're attempting to "both sides" this, shame on you. At what point are you going to admit you got this wrong? Or if a women's rights campaigner gets killed next time, are you going to vaguely imply that she had it coming, and then say, "Look! Nazis!"

No. If you condone that, you ARE the Nazis in this situation.

Well said.
