hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. always been sound advice.
total deaths from all causes declined sharply during the lockdown. #1 cause of death for people under 65 is accidents.
few people working, fewer people traveling, fewer recreational activities led to big drop in deaths due to accidents.
95+% of people who "died of covid-19"
had less than a year to live, anyway.
if the plan was to increase revenues thru estate taxes, it failed bigly, like all their other plots.
maybe wild and unfounded speculation, but hardly fear porn. if anons predictions came to pass, i would be cheering, and so would you.
tbh, even calling them a mob is giving them more cred than they deserve. at best, they are a flock of petulant unruly children, who believe they've broken free just because they can't see the invisible leash they're on.
well, that's 'cause it's not Trump's DOJ. even if POTUS had complete control and backing of DOJ, it wouldn't matter.
traitors will be dealt with by MILITARY courts martial. no presumption of innocence. no dragging things out for years.
NO APPEALS. SWIFT JUSTICE.
so turn off your TV. look past the smoke and mirrors. DOJ is irrelevant. never could have dealt with this to begin with.
your voice is thru your elected representatives, same as every other NZer. everyone cannot have their own laws. that's not a country, that's the wild west. if you're not happy with your reps, VOTE THEM OUT.
if that's not a total lie/fantasy, then you no doubt sucked at your job, 'cause your "argument" is utterly irrelevant, and you don't seem able to maintain a rational demeanor w/o descending into ad hominem attacks. i pity your clients. they should probly all sue YOU for piss-poor representation. KYS.
sorry, fren. just an anon in the states. your PM is not the only elected official. if all elections are rigged, then gov't is illegimate, and NZers are not obliged to obey. organize your fellow NZers to stand up. they can't arrest EVERYONE. stir the shitstorm. push it to the limit. IDK what else to tell you. good luck.
that was a DIFFERENT anon that posted the last reply, you DIMWIT. you'd know that if you paid attention to details, like IDs. seems the consensus here is that you are a pompous ass. FUCK OFF, SHITBREATH.
"there is absolutely zero evidence of any military arrests…" SO FAR.
like the fine print (written by a shylock) says, past results are NOT a guarantee of future performance.
any "law" that violates the constitution is NOT a law. while it has the color (appearance) of law, it is unconstitutional from the date of its passage, not the date that a court so rules. as such, citizens are NOT obligated to obey, and in fact, it is their patriotic duty to disobey. no one said it would be easy to throw off the yoke of the oppressors. only you can answer the question of how far you are willing to be pushed before you push back, damn the torpedoes.
when people tell you that you're no different than "them" if you adopt their tactics, THOSE PEOPLE ARE WRONG. or they're lying.
one HUGE difference will always remain. YOU didn't start the shit. you ended it.
noble sentiments. allow me to counter, if i might? if you hire someone to kill your wife, you AND the trigger man are equally guilty.
i'm old and tired, and at this point, i'm ok with making willful stupidity a capital offense.
hmmmm…. well, it's not my point of view so much as the law of the land. in the case of the youngsters swept up into the "protests," i understand your point of view as well. i think every one of us did foolish things in our youth. i would be ok with giving those under 25 a second chance at rehabilitation (dictionary definition).
whatever. not arguing. but just drop it. their days are numbered and they know it. it's why they're getting so desperate.
HEY! shit-for-brains! i already said i don't disagree. i also said drop it because this is not the time or place. all you're doing is playing into the hands of the shills/bots/trolls. unless, of course, you are one yourself?
k… now i understand what you're saying. don's see the relevance. we weren't talking about regulating tools. we were talking about culpability. i happen to agree that tools should NOT be regulated. but the distinction remains that a gun is not sentient, and therefore not culpable for any murder that was committed with it. a hired killer, on the other hand, IS sentient, and has free will to accept or refuse the commission. therefore, a hired killer is equally culpable with the contractor. now if you still don't understand, give me a minute to go find a crayon, and i'll draw you a nice picture.
"I was trying to explain something that would make his position far more tenable, to me."
that makes even less sense. if your analogy makes the OP's position more tenable, then i think maybe you are the one who ate the crayons. or… maybe we both need to sign off and get some sleep.
wrong and wrong. you are obligated to make sense, to everyone. there is only one valid logic. if it doesn't make sense, it's just gibberish. not just to me, but to everyone. i attempted to be conciliatory and write our dust-up off to lack of sleep. but that wasn't good enough for you. i'm not playing smartass. i AM a smartass, and i couldn't care less what you're interested in doing. nor do i have to obey your command that we are done. now it's YOU who is playing the obstinate jackass while pretending to be somehow morally and intellectually superior. fuck you, poseur.
