I’m not European, but do go off

Yeah and the French think they’re Estonian. Your original comment was… off target

OK now this one I agree with

I have been surprised by how racist many Brits are

You think… EU members are unaware that other member states are different from them???

Yeah I think they’re aware of colonisation

Yeah long flu is such a bastard

Not in nz

I wasn’t making that argument

You can argue the morality of the situation all you like, but that circumstance doesn’t constitute murder. People in the military can kill thousands without legally being a murderer

That’s not murder. By definition. Killing does not equal murder

Yes. I have no sympathy for the CEO but murder is still murder

Oh yeah, of course we can always do better. No way you can enact a country wide change like this without some flaws

Precisely

BTW “submissive subhunans”?, go fuck yourself

JFC learn to read. My comment was about people who were spreading misinformation. If that wasn’t you, hold your victim mentality

Yep. The people who brought the enquiry would love for it to criticise the covid response, as they were the ones cheerleading the naysayers

By… stating the objective truth? Do you have an objection to that, or just being contrary?

Yeah, misinformation from conspiracists and right wing politicians wore at the publics resolve and found a home the hearts of other reactionaries and conspiracists. That’s the truth, but it’s not a fault of thee covid response, it’s a fault of people who view society as an enemy

We had less deaths than we would have had normally. We also saved a bucket load of jobs by supporting businesses. We, objectively, did better than pretty much anyone else. What seems to continually escape people’s attention is that the NZ health system is shit. We have fuck all hospital beds and fuck all staff. Letting the virus run free would have overrun our system in days. A better health system that ours might have more options than we did, but as it was, we did bloody well.
