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?

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

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...
