bullying in New Zealand part 3...

" I would rather be a small nobody than an evil somebody"
 Abraham Lincoln 

bullying in New Zealand is rife.
incessant, remorseless.
New Zealanders consider themselves to be hyukk hyukk rustic savants and their speech is loaded with euphemisms and 'sayings' that are designed to give an air of faux modesty when in reality they just paper over what is really plain ignorance.
when you speak out then you get hammered.
Look what happened to Eleanor Catton.
when she spoke her mind  she got dumped on by a big lard ass who tried to maintain that she wasn't showing any gratitude.
well plunkett the fact is that she earned her success.
she didnt have to grease up anybody elses backside to get the Booker-Man prize and she doesn't owe you or anyone else anything.
 Its almost as if because she was a new zelander then every other dipstick with a tui t-shirt or baseball cap with a kiwi on it felt they were entitled to share in her success too.
yeah right.
and the leaders in all this are the media lead by the newsreaders on tv1.
interrogatives are used to ensure agreement and conformity by asking the listener to agree immediately without time to consider any evidence at the risk of seeming to be a curmudgeon for failing to agree with people who are basically trying to sell you something under the pretense that is news.
interrogatives are dsihonest, disrepectful and an invalid argument from authority.
it is easy to see why the talking heads use them all the time because they are so used to having their arses kissed by fawning plebs that they cant risk any chink in their armour propre whatsoever.
last sunday some sheila who was nothing less than a marketeer in drag was promoting new zealand lamb and ever second utterance was an interrogative.
this is news?
shilling for NZ inc?
btw.
the reason more kiwis dont eat New Zeeland lamb is because it is so bloody expensive!
TV1 and its staff think they know everything and that they dont have to go to the dictionary or ask someone else how to pronounce a word.
Steve Marshall on the same news show on Sunday pronounced chastened as chassend.
the ignorati rule.
dont they.
I think these people have been taught to lead the interviewee but in a court of law it is not permissible to lead a witness but on teevee anything goes.
doesn't it.
ho hum.
ya get that. 

the country has been basically bullied into submission by the media.
no dissent.
total conformity and buy what we tell you to.
