RDA is starting to look like BLM/Antifa. Monica Smith never made any rational arguments, only demands. This is not about the right to free medical consent anymore, not about reason, public deliberation and resolution, but ideological polarisation and incremental radicalism. Can you see the progressive narrative shift towards nativist prioritarianism and tribalism?
The main problem with digital “passports” and cashless society is not that it is digital, but the fact that the people who are introducing these systems are a combination of amoral narcissists, sociopaths and the criminally insane. They are career murderers and professional liars. We have a moral obligation to reject any technology or practice that gives irrational people more control. The idea of “trusted identity” is refuted by the fact that the people who manage it are untrustworthy.
If CO2 emissions “per capita” matter, then we should not be calculating this measure for countries or regions, where huge underlying variability in emissions exists from person to person, but focus on specific demographics: politicians, CEOs of “green” corporations, Bankers, Media personalities, celebrities, and the top 0.01% according to wealth. Since personal wealth is the best determinant of the individual carbon footprint, we can infer that the people who are pushing the “green” agenda the hardest are precisely the biggest CO2 emitters and that in order to “save the planet:)” we must strip billionaires, bankers and politicians of their wealth! I mean, IF per capita emissions matter.

The Experts agree that their survival is more important than your survival, so in times of existential emergency please listen to the Experts.
Gaslighting is the hallmark of psychopaths. This is how they normalise abuse, by saying “oh, you are just too sensitive because you were abused.” This garbage pseudo-science from NZ gets a write up because it suits their sick agenda, whereas my work published in the BMJ does not even get a mention; it makes too much sense.
The essence of totalitarianism as expressed by Varlam Shalamov: “I saw what a weighty argument for the intellectual is the most ordinary slap in the face.” https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2018/06/12/forty-five-things-i-learned-in-the-gulag/
People who do not deliberate in good faith, who do not seek to genuinely understand one another and resolve disagreements, who are not open to the possibility that they could be wrong but assert their beliefs by coercion or force, no longer participate in the collective creation and preservation of meaning, which is an essential property of Humanity (understood as reflexively-conscious rational beings). They thus deny their humanity, and therefore voluntarily renounce their moral status.
If authority can exist only where there is responsibility, those who deny responsibility for ther actions implicitly deny their moral authority, and therefore their moral status, and therefore their human rights. Denial of personal responsibility for actions is metaphysical self-harm, it reduces the human to an animal (or reveals one as such).

Forty-Five Things I Learned in the Gulag
Varlam Shalamov claimed not to have learned anything from the Gulag except how to wheel a loaded barrow. But one of his fragmentary writings, dated 1961, tells us more.
Let me help you Brendan. Male is a functional kind characterised by the capacity to produce sperm, and Female is a functional kind characterised by the capacity to produce eggs. Sex (Male or Female) is attributed to a human body if the relevant capacity could be realised in one’s lifetime under conditions of anatomical completeness, sexual maturity and the optimal state of health. ‘Woman’ is then an adult female, and ‘Man’ is an adult human male, as proven here: https://culturalanalysisnet.wordpress.com/2018/01/27/functionalist-defence-binary-gender/ This alone makes me more qualified than Brendan Murphy, or anyone else in the government, to be the Health Minister. Brendan should quit because his ignorance of basic biological facts is a danger to public health.
The Essence of Fascism
The essence of Fascism is the collusion of the State apparatus and the Corporate managerial class to freely transgress the human rights of individuals, allegedly in the interests of the Greater Good or the Collective (which are invariably limited to the interests of the fascist elite). The purest form of Fascism is called Communism.

It is irrational to expect a different outcome by repeating the same weak arguments that already failed in many other jurisdictions. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/covid-19-high-court-rules-vaccination-mandates-for-educators-healthcare-workers-justified-dismisses-challenge/Q4NCC26OS7VOPOP72AR7TSYRJU/
I want to emphasise that I am not a member of the “freedom movement” (even though I value freedom); I am not Left or Right or Centre (even though I care about what is objectively right vs wrong); I am not a believer (because belief is the opposite of good faith); I am not an activist (because the pursuit of mutual understanding is more constructive then forcing your own way). I am bound only by the universal, indispensable rules of sense vs non-sense, logical consistency vs. absurdity, and the positions I take on specific social issues derive solely from rational deliberation, not from ideology or political partisanship, not from emotion. Just because someone else opposes mandatory vaccination or face-masks does not make them my kind, let alone my buddy.

SABC and Universities Alliance Exposé' of UJ vaccine mandate - UJ offers "grace period" until further notice
Following a televised exposé of UJ's vaccination policy, centered around Universities Alliance's planned action against the university, UJ has substantially softened their mandatory vaccination policy, at least on a temporary basis, and offered a "grace period (which will apply until further notice)" to unvaccinated staff and students.
Whereas previously such individuals were totally denied access to campus without proof of vaccination, as of 8 April 2022 there is now an option to present a negative PCR test every 7 days as an alternative.
This is not an acceptable arrangement, but nonetheless represents a step in the right direction and shows a welcome willingness on the university's part to reassess the situation.
Pressure from Universities Alliance's legal team since November 2021 to provide justification for the policy in the form of risk assessments and scientific backing, along with our medical affidavit and letter of demand issued in March 2022, has led to the necessity for UJ to acknowledge the need for "conducting further risk assessments" and review their mandate.
While we celebrate this partial victory, we must also be mindful that this decision is by no means definitive, and there is always the potential for a full mandate to be reintroduced depending on the outcomes of the new risk assessments - in which case Universities Alliance will be ready as always. We also do not see the testing requirement as acceptable, as it is still unscientific and financially punitive -hence, it will not go unchallenged by us either.
Nonetheless, this shows that sustained pressure does lead to positive outcomes - as we have repeatedly stated, our goal from the outset has been to try to eliminate the need for expensive and lengthy litigation wherever possible.

Philanthropy is a ritualised form of corruption, ideological and political bribery executed by the rich in broad daylight, under the guise of the good.
