NZ Politics

Agreed on the lack of protests and movements regarding the housing crisis and cost of living.

People would rather go out there and do the classic Trumper vs. Antifa / Protest vs. Counterprotest, than get together on matters of class and poverty. It almost seems like it is done on purpose to direct attention away from the things that actually matter.

With that out of the way - I voted for the Green Party this week. I know it's depressing to see lousy and incompetent parties, but complaining is always easier than doing something. We also need actual foot-on-the-ground movement building - which means meeting people face to face in order to get together not just for public demonstrations, but also doing work in the community like meals for the homeless, etc. (which also helps spread awareness to the general cause)
