What has happened to all the rwnjs who used to frequent this site? It was fun sparring with them. Have they been told to stay away or has the demise of one, Cameron Slater left them in the lurch?
Aren't the half dozen lwnjs on here enough for you? lol
They are all on Bassett, Brash and Hide's blog now, bursting blood vessels like bubble wrap.
I enjoy the echo chamber myself, even if I don't post that often. Don't really need to add anything to the discourse nowadays.
Yes, millsy. I don't post as often as I used to. Don't have a lot to argue with anymore.
They reserve their efforts for Twitter but are struggling there too …
I am going to look at the BBH blog to see how relevant it is.
I think comments overall have improved in the last month.
BBH blog?
Blue Blood Heretics? Bully Beef Hearties? Bryan Bruce Heralds? Oh I see Bassett, Brash, Hide.
Big Bull Here. Bucks Bubble Here.
By far, the best piece I’ve read today. Anne Salmond suggesting a different way of reading and interpreting Te Tiriti through non-binary glasses that, in my view, has tremendous potential (as in promise and hope) for the future of the people and peoples of Aotearoa-New Zealand.

Thanks Incognito, it's funny how something so obvious only becomes clear when it is pointed out. ie how the 'vibe' of te tiriti moved from "relations among people, the land and the ocean." to "rights, property and money".
That will give me another angle to get the blood boiling of the rednecks nearest and dearest to me.
I like Anne Salmond’s thinking and writing a lot. However, while she does elaborate on relational vs. binary (dualism) between people and peoples, she leaves this un- or under-explored within people as in individuals. As above, so below, so to speak. I’d like to see an evolution from identity politics, which, most ironically, seems to have crowded out class politics, and I think this is partly (?) because of the sway/influence of neo-liberalism and so-called rational choice theory. Salmond, at least, is working on a different view, an alternative way of looking/seeing and acting/doing; it is much a personal as professional journey for her, i.e. non-dualistic and fully (?) integrated, IMHO, of course.
