I'll support vandalism if they spray paint Parliament and glue their hands to the doors at Parliament, so that MPs can't get to work. Until that happens I won't take this group seriously.

You know Dave, I've just been emailing Christchurch councillors and I've had a few responses. I'm pretty good at getting information and finding out where to get press reports and stuff like that, but I struggle to understand the council. I don't know how I can oppose these residents' associations and I'm just learning that stuff now. We need a group that will make democracy accessible for someone who works 6 days a week, who can't attend most meetings.

These ultra-leftwing groups are just fecking dumb. I'm in favour of having apartments and cycleways and proper public transport, but I'd never agree to help the kind of activities which Restore Passenger Rail is engaged in. There are meetings at the local council that I could be protesting but I usually find out at the last minute, or after it's too late. Meanwhile, a death cult is attacking a business over an alarmist prophecy.

They could be helping me do something useful, like pry boomers away and stop them from corrupting the council.
