Flip the toilet roll around.

Any hyper focused group, especially one that has an excluded "other", will form a totem idea of that other and unreasonably become extremely against that totem. So hate spirals out of control. This occurs on either ends of the political spectrum. It can happen with sports teams vs their rivals.

CGP Grey made a video a number of years ago explaining such things better. https://youtu.be/rE3j_RHkqJc.

Bear in mind he's doing it with a very specific performance characteristic in mind, and not as a standard EV conversion.

Perhaps more accurate would be the Hummer conversion by Jerry Rig Everything and iirc EV Doctor channels.

But in general, same stuff involved.

Were they real or just shit novelty, scams, or rebadges and sister brands of those multi brand companies like BBK?

Nah it's still their concern too. They're mostly just on the beneficial side of it.

Is that a picture of a straw man?

Just a follow on from your health comment.

If our health system is certain to become private, I for sure hope that:

  • ACC remains, at minimum as-is.
  • there is a regulation and standardisation for basic health insurance needs (more like the Swiss system than US free for all).
  • there is still some sort of safety net system for those who cannot afford it.

Of course, I'd prefer a public health system.

That's mostly correct, at least looking at the TVNZ VoteCompass party stance comparisons.

Environment:

  • 1 stance that equals Labour.
  • 1 stance that is worse than Labour.
  • 2 stances that are better than Labour's, worse than the Greens.
