Another great summing up in the comments
Quote below for those who have not read it
Surely Knott
Did Jacinda receive disproportionate abuse? The question you didn’t
ask was do the public receive disproportionate abuse?
The public who have no power. The public have no voice. We don’t
control the media or have our opinions written on the front page
of stuff or the herad. No politician would speak with protestors at
parliament or return emails about covid vaccines which they forced
on us. Make no mistake who was abusing who and who held the power.
The power is held in entirety by govt and media and their paid
scientific experts.
Ardern funded media who said that anyone who opposed her were
conspiracy theorists, 4 chan, tin foil -hat wearing, anti-science, unintelligent, rabbit hole dwelling , social media trolls, that don’t
care about their community or grandmothers or society blah blah blah.
The ran a survey in the media to suggest that unvaxxed shouldn’t
have access to medical health care or hospitals. For those of us
who were unvaxxed society felt dangerous.
They used coercion and lies and behavioural nudges. They said unvaxxed couldnt’ leave auckland unless auckland reached 90% vaccination.
A classic army technique to punish everyone until you conform
creating hate agaist the target.
She used bribes to force people into taking an unapproved dangerous
vaccine and offered the vaccines outside schools so kids could
vaccinate without parent’s knowledge.
Protestors who lost their jobs and were affected by mandates
she removed with armed police and violence and sound cannons.
She’s an abuser. And she had all the power.
They are continuing to use their media platform to abuse the public.
Daily there is an article about disinformation and how some media
person is abused of which they produce no solid examples and call
for limits on free speech.
Social media is the voice of the people. It is our only voice.
It is the democratic process.
Why should Paula Penfold , Ali Mau and Simon Wilson, Kate Hannah
write their hateful govt funded drivel, and then turn around and
say that my voice or my response to their opinions which i post
on social media are less valid or should be censored.
The govt has all the power and they wielded it with an iron fist.
Make no mistake, that is the abuse. And they are desperately
trying to deflect from three things.
1. Their totalitarian response was authoritarian, often illegal,
vicious and divisive. Not kind.
2. A New memo shows that the govt didn’t follow the science
advice and they pushed ahead with 2 vaxxes for kids despite
warnings of myocarditis. This has yet to be addressed by the media.
3. Labour are the champion of identity politics and routinely
complain that Nats are too white and old and male. And they have
just appointed a white male themselves AGAIN. And so better to
create a distraction saying that the public are misogynists.
4. And we still have no answers on the origins of the virus.
And no one has been held to account.
So the public being the abusers is just a distraction and a
scapegoat. The abuse was entirely Ardern’s response. Her calls
for censorship of social media are in line with Davos speakers
from Australian govt who are calling for censorship of social
media with repeat claims we are abusers. Rubbish. This is
censorship of free speech of the public. This is our only voice.
And finally no other Prime Minister has used social media as much
to her advantage with her night time, no make up, shot from her
living room, soft best friend talks via instagram. She very much
used the platform to push her gender stereotyped “kindness” brand.
It suited her to use the platform. But then when she raised on
insta the issue of vaccine injuries and the thread filled with
thousands the tide changed/
