Australian nazis like Tom Sewell are the gym-going variety, so I have a hard time believing that they are planning a terrorist attack. What are they going to do? Punch some guy in the head during a street fight?
The writers of these articles don't understand hypocrisy. More muslims have been killed by our own soldiers than by people like Brenton Tarrant. I'm seriously concerned that we have forgotten what happened after 9/11.
Poorly, lol
But don't worry, some people are organising on behalf of Renters United. They haven't announced it yet, which annoys me. Let's hope it happens before the election and not after! Stay tuned. These other people are a few steps ahead of me. I'm done with organising, I'll leave that to the pros.
Tax land and encourage someone to actually build some damned houses.
I'm in favour of public transport, but these people are an embarrassment. I've told them that civil disobedience is great, but please don't block roads. I suggested they block the door to national and labour party events, as an alternative.
They could have such measure in place for 5 - 10 years and then get rid of it.
You can't say it's bad until you've seen the mansion on Riccarton Road here in Christchurch. It's been gutted by arson, but it's still "heritage" lol. It's owned by a bank or investment firm or something. It should be knocked down and turned into apartments, with restaurants and shops on the lower level.
In all honesty we should all be running for community board. They actually have a bit of power. It just costs money to register, that's my problem lol. Priorities.
I'm downloading quite a few of these from Archive. I feel like I should donate them some money now lol
Another one I found: Lawrence of Arabia (1962)

This seems to be the best guide and the page was updated August 2023. But, I don't think I'll switch because websites load fine. Facebook and Reddit are really slow but I plan to delete those accounts. Everything else works well.
Kubuntu desktop with latest Firefox snap package. If this persists, I'll try Edge or Chrome and let you know the results.
I doubt much will change.
Among all the death and carnage, an Australian Bushmaster has be captured by Russia and it's now on display at Patriot Park in Moscow:

When Ukraine destroyed Russian tanks and put them on display, western media was all over it, but don't expect them to mention Patriot Park, the Leopard tanks or the American IFVs that Russia captured. What could be more ridiculous than saying "we're not a party to the conflict" then months later, some of that gear winds up in Russia :)
BTW I was permanently banned (for a second time) from NZ reddit hahaha. I suggested that NZ politicians are historically and geographically illiterate, and that they base their decisions on ideals rather than facts. I also wrote about the BRICS expansion, which won't be formalised until January 2024.
NZ reddit....... A person can ask where to find drugs, hookers, or an open-minded doctor who will assist with a rectal prolapse, but if I suggest that our politicians are idiots, and that the "rules based order" is collapsing, then I get banned under rule 11 for "contentious" content. I can imagine what these reddit moderators must look like. A bunch of clowns, goofy looking beards, drinking craft beer and pretending to be intelligent. I'm so tired of their dry, boring political discussions. I hope New Zealanders pay attention to international stuff.
I try to explain to people that there's no such thing as rules or justice, under international politics. Taking sides is also BS. I met a Ukrainian guy from Kharkiv while I was buying gloves in a safety shop, and this guy was talking about travelling from Kharkiv to Vladivostok on the train (8 days travel time). He didn't even mention the war. A lot of good things happened during Soviet times (excluding the 1930s when Stalin genocided the Ukrainians lol)
I aim to visit Ukraine, Russia and maybe Poland sometime in the future. I refuse to rabidly hate an entire country just because I don't agree with something in the politics. New Zealanders should wake up, pay attention and see what we can gain from these countries if we keep an open mind and stay out of politics as much as possible.
When I watched "Only 'Old Men' Are Going To Battle" I ended up reading all about the director. So, Russian language film, but 2 Ukrainian actors, one of whom was the director: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonid_Bykov
There's a whole lot of Ukrainian videos on YouTube about this guy. From what I could gather, some people thought he could have made more Ukrainian language films, and sadly, his career was cut short in a car crash on the way from Minsk, to somewhere in Ukraine. Leonid Bykov is a gigachad, and a great place to start when learning about Ukrainian things.
