The only worthy pursuits in ACT’s Aotearoa are those which create value and profit for Seymour’s “Change Makers”. Jandal makers and home bakers need not apply.
I can’t stand the Pratt and his twisted dishonest narratives.
And I fully detest ACT! I endured the brutality of the Lange / Douglas years and then the further embedment of neoliberalism under the Bolger / Ruth Richardson Govt and beyond, and I said, “enough was enough - never again” - until the lemmings voted in the extreme right wing Atlas Network coalition Govt in 2023 that has put Libertarianism and neoliberalism on steroids 😢
ACT values are an absolute anathema to my own.
The sooner we shed Seymour’s libertarian ideals and that of his ACT Party, and their neoliberalism focus, the better we will all be!
There are a set of deep seated implicit assumptions in what he says that I doubt he articulates fully to himself. To challenge his conclusions these assumptions must be revealed and criticized. The most obvious is that the Anglo-Saxon economic model produces the best possible world. 100 years even 50 years ago that might have had the ring of persuasion. But now, as the Thwaites glacier disintegrates, it is shown to be hollow, worse life denying. Seymour is a man without the imagination to escape his 19th century neo-classical prison.
I could not bring myself to listen to capitalism from the pulpit of division, but reading this he thinks its only the "change makers" aka neolibs leaving the country. I am sure many are leaving the country because of the govts neolibral agenda.

Blessed are the Jandal makers ....😊
Heah heah
Thank you for listening to that so I didn't have to!
Most of our jandals come from China. He’s just being a dick for his audience of dicks. Always with the “oh aren’t I clever” smirk too.

I raise a glass to the bread bakers and jandal makers. Always have. Always will. Those who create things. That is the society I want.
Blessed are the jandal makers, for they shall inherit the Earth!
It’s interesting how “Change Makers” can only do all their change making if they come from a place of financial security.
The rich get richer, the poor get the picture…..
Not because Hipkins wears them well. It seems Mr Seymour was read the Little Red Hen at his mother's knee
