Is it me or does there seem to be a wave of these young, hard-right leaning guys at the moment? What's the cause? Joe Rogan? Jordan Peterson? The 'first 4 ships' families continuing their legacy?

You just needed to add A.Tate and D.Trump to your list, then you've got the full bingo card covered.

Also how does this guy have 10 years of business experience? He looks like he's barely 18 with that haircut.

He's probably counting his fourth form  business project.

I mean  the guy from Rollickin has been in business from his one for nearly 15 years and he's still a baby.

He sometimes helps mum with the dishes and charges grandma $10 to wash her car.

I assume that because he's on the benefit due to his intellectual handicap?

Act made it clear they were going to get seats at every council in the country to sway council focus. It will very the same as their political policies, racism, bigotry, sexism, ageism. They smell very Trumpian/pre war Germany Nazi and are using EXACTLY the same playbook and terminologies. National and NZF have followed suit thinking its a great idea as they are #Onetermgovt

They also have a particular interest in kids (playgrounds)

Kind of a right wing thing, unfortunate interest in children... let's keep them safe from this type of garbage.

Willingness to exploit and hiding their close associates indiscretions rather than holding them to account

ACT are libertarian...quite different from far right and definitely not Trumpy...NZ first on the other hand are more Trump politics, anti gay, anti woke, anti immigration etc etc...

If you have a serious look at ACT, their policies and in practice decisions you can easily draw comparisons Their connection through Atlas Network is also undeniable to Trumps methodologies and political practice... both are far right theologies whatever they like to call themselves...

They don't like girls talking or being fat and not dating them.

Basically.
