You make some good points, my comment was originally 3x longer at first but I cut it down in the interest of not rehashing 185 years of history

Hilarious that I, in NZ, can’t see this!

Re NZ politics - Yes and no.

The currect situation is due to some very specific circumstances thst emerged in the chaos of the last 10 years.

• The centre left Labour Party & PM were hugely popular during covid & won an unheard of majority (normally our electoral system requires a coalition). A swing back to the centre-right was inevitable.

• The centre right National party, usually our most popular party, had their leadership retire & endured years of in-fighting that made them unelectable

• Because of this, they’ve bled a lot of voters to the “libertarian” & “centrist” parties (ACT & NZ First)

• Also because of this, the current National Party leader is rather inexperienced & has given up some things in the coalition agreements that are more extreme than the public likes leading to record breaking protests.

• The “centrist” party leader (Winston Peters) is a whole thing that I can’t neatly summarize, but imagine a political party designed to cater exclusively to the oldest & dumbest 5% of voters run by that Monorail guy from The Simpsons

In summary, less a slide right & more a correction back to status quo + a few unpopular chaos agents

Started growing my beard in, for the first time in years. It’s white. Hell yeah I’m old

I just started this as well… i was so lost forthe first few hours, not the controls, just what am I meant to be doing? I have 2 mission logs, I don’t know what any of the guns or powers do and I’m meant to start collecting them?

It’s like they say, shampoo for my real friends, real poo for my sham friends

John 2:9-10:

When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
