Honestly this whole 🧵rings true for those of us approached to set up Antifa NZ. Couldn't get a decision on what colour to paint the office without a week of endless Zoom meetings. For globalists, their localisation strategy is terrible. Would not overthrow tyranny again.

"The Government’s policy change to make many 18- and 19-year-olds ineligible for the Jobseeker benefit will go a significant way to helping it meet its target of reducing the number of people on Jobseeker by 50,000."

When you've got John Darnielle saying this about you + then showing how much his own songwriting is a reflection of yours, then you are a bona fide musical genius (who chose to express it with whatever happened to be at hand at the time)

I said I'd write a few words about Craig Robertson's much-anticipated Chris Knox bio, which I love.

These are personal reflections on what will likely be the definitive history of a man who changed indie/alt music globally
