      Ah, but inconvenient facts like that must not be permitted to interfere with the narrative. Provided the minority percentage isn't too large, more disenfranchised people is better.

            You'd think that New Zealand having North and South Island (etc) would give them a hint. Some of the slang seems Australian - other bits definitely are not.

              I'm pleased to say that Kiwis have finally seen the light and staged a mass protest against the lockdown being done by the communist dictators...

              One person shows up at anti-lockdown protest in Auckland

              Police have broken up a one person anti-lockdown protest in Auckland CBD [=Auckland downtown area for you Americans] on Friday.

              Police said it comes after chatter on social media about a protest on Queen Street...

              Police told Newshub officers were on Queen Street after hearing a protest was being planned...

              "Police have been in the area and have spoken to one person who arrived intending to attend the protest.

              Police spoke to the individual who was encouraged to comply with alert level four restrictions and chose to leave."



              (p.s. that is a serious news article, not a satire site. Though my own comments above are obviously sarcastic. Auckland is a city of 1.6 million people, so to have only one person turn up to a protest is quite something.)

                  What a sad sign of how utterly brainwashed the country of velcro gloves is.

                    Alternative headline: "New Zealand citizens afraid to protest totalitarian government"
                    Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                    But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                    Than a fool in the eyes of God

                      Apart from rare, brief lockdowns, everyone in NZ has been able to live the majority of the last year normally, with no restrictions on their everyday life, free from covid. Meanwhile we've seen the media from other countries about their death rates, their continual semi-lockdowns and mask wearing. So we know exactly what the gains and sacrifices of what we're doing are, and that's why we're so willing to do it. Not because the government has brainwashed anyone, but because we know from experience what we're achieving.

                      It's actually been quite a while since I've heard a sheep joke. There aren't remotely as many of them now as there used to be, and the human population is incredibly urban, while the sheep farms tend to be in the mountains, so the average person here probably doesn't see any sheep in the average year.
