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!

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 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.

Sane people who think it's OK to punch old ladies if you disagree with them and that male rapists should be housed in women's prisons if they "identify as" one? Those kinds of sane people?

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).

NONE of the people you’re writing for are here, @landOFconfusion. Get the message.

OK, so if we’re not your audience - and you’re right, we’re definitely not Grin - why not go and find it?

True we’re not their audience.

We’re happy if they don’t write for us.

@landOFconfusion Please could you share your definition of sane?

what a load of tosh

nilsmousehammer · 31/03/2023 11:25

Aww but kittens are so cute.

Helleofabore · 31/03/2023 11:35

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.

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.

Whaeanui · 31/03/2023 11:44

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.

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.

ArabellaScott · 31/03/2023 15:04

'have no interest to me except as an objects'

Saying the quiet part out loud there.

SinnerBoy · 31/03/2023 16:10

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

It seems that you are writing on their behalf, makes you think, doesn't it? You're writing on behalf of granny bashers, trying to get us to believe that granny bashers are the righteous ones.

Sorry to disagree in the strongest terms and all.

SinnerBoy · 31/03/2023 16:12

Please could you share your definition of sane?

People who believe that when unicorns fart rainbow glitter, Geoff Capes turns into Darcy Bussel, I think.

Whaeanui · 01/04/2023 08:16

As this seems to be the most active board on the events in NZ I’ll post this here, this is an interview with Georgina Beyer, for those who don’t know the awful cartoon for nz herald was meant to be using their hand to stop Posie talking… but what Georgina actually said on the issue is being ignored

Georgina quite clearly says they had some of the same concerns around self ID as woman, Would never use the term ‘t**f’ and referred to themselves as transexual NOT transgender, which they didn’t like. Do read!
Georgina Beyer

Georgina Beyer: "Tell Me to Shut Up and Go Away and I’ll Scream Even Louder”

express talks to kiwi legend and rainbow trailblazer Georgina Beyer, the world’s first Transsexual MP.

Clymene · 01/04/2023 18:14

Wow that interview is really eye opening @Whaeanui
Had Beyer been alive, they would have been denounced as a terf 'whoever invented the term transgender really opened up a Pandora's box and now it's a term that's meant to include everything on the gender continuum I presume'.

I actually returned to the thread to share this video: Two Iranian women arrested for not covering hair after man attacks them with yoghurt https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-65150135

And people accused me of hyperbole Hmm

OP posts:
ArabellaScott · 01/04/2023 21:16

Hmm. Be interesting to see if the wokebros denounce women getting yogurt chucked at them. Maybe they just don't gaf what happens to women regardless, though.

Whaeanui · 02/04/2023 08:55

I checked Ani O’Briens twitter and MSM are now writing articles to try and pushback against the mountain of evidence from the event and violence from protesting TRA’s, because they had journalists ‘on the ground’ and the violence claims are over stated blah blah they have videos posted to them in the replies and still they try and push their false stories.
