Fiddling with 'Rome' burning. Cake, bread, circuses and a dollop of work ethic... plus there's always another form of tragedy just around the corner, yay. Are we not entertained.

odd that you tried unsucessfully to run to be one of those senators a while back........

More modern woke engineering failure. Laminated timber products are great but they have their time and place where they work. Btw thumbnail is not click bait Photoshop it’s the actual collapse, one of three and counting....

I see the word "woke" and tend to think we've found an idiot. There are a lot of them about. Woke engineering though? That's a new one. Please explain.
Woke is not quite as bad as "Soros" though. When I see that I know we have found an idiot.

Oh, I definitely Agree.... Just not in the way you meant it...

This

Or This

Or This

Or This

I think I've made the point

To sum up:

It accepts the Social Justice/Woke presuppositions and applies them to the field of Engineering:

Engineering seeks to maintain the status-quo by solidifying the power structures (That's from Gramscii and his theory of Cultural Hegemony), in doing so it perpetuates an Oppressor and Oppressed state, particularly focused on Marginalized groups (That's from your Paulo Freiri and his Pedagogy of the Oppressed) and that Engineering works are not neutral or functional, but that they are expressly political (That's from Carol Hanisch - the Personal is Political).

Of course there's other stuff like the Critical Race theorists, Everything was stolen from the Minorities, Something Something Colonization Something, Feminist Swedish Snow Plowing (No, I'm being serious - and that resulted in people dying). And perhaps the most amusing (and depressing) of all: the undermining of Western canon of Science




And oh Look, the same is happening in NZ...

Just for clarity, woke is what “they” called themselves to start with when the political correctness movement got out of control.
So “ they” that are woke or those who make political, policy, employment, design, eligibility criteria, rewards or other decisions based on one or any of;
Gender identities
Social justice issues
Perceived climate issues
Environmentalism
Instead of basing their decisions on science, hard data, reality, results.

Btw Soris is more into burning bridges rather than building any faulty or not. And that’s hard to dulispute when you look the mega dollars funded into colour revolutions and other operations.

Keep the missus away from PETA, y'know, the vegan organisation named after kebab bread.

"No sex for men who bbq....." No sausage for you, either.

Apparently eating meat is all good for vegans, as long as it is a human nose.

I think this is brilliant, vegans want to stop reproducing along with The feminists. And it’s hilarious that’s these animal rights types who are so up with the play on species extinction don’t see the endgame of this.

Eco-terrorists drilling truck tyres... how long til we have nutters here doing this rubbish.
Law of averages though sooner or later one will find a sidewalk failure waiting to do a zipper blowout.

120psi beats bones flesh and skull every time...

U.S. intelligence officials accuse your source of spreading Russian propaganda

The officials said Zero Hedge, which has 1.2 million Twitter followers, published articles created by Moscow-controlled media that were then shared by outlets and people unaware of their nexus to Russian intelligence

Isn't it miraculously odd that it always lands with you posting Russian propaganda........

Evening.
Thanks for the reply. Made my day. I'm not sure which part of it I enjoyed the most :

(i) That I should take Bloomberg, USA Today and un-named "US intelligence officials" (what an oxymoron) as being more reliable (less biased) sources of information
or
(ii) the ominous sounding accusation re ZH from said "US intelligence officials" that immediately followed.

I think it's a close tie.

You could of course have saved yourself getting your underwear in knots simply by clicking on the author name in the ZH article - which would have:

(i) taken you directly to the source article itself (which ZH simply re-posted),
and
(ii) shown a video clip of Ardern speaking to the UNGA (to which the article referred).

But what would be the fun in that ?

But now that I know you're a "Russia fan", I'll be sure to keep a look-out for other RT and ZH articles that might interest you.

Let me know if you're a "China fan" as well. I can always keep a look-out for "China Global Times" articles for you as well at the same time.

Happy to help.

Cheers, Viking

Sure of course its just a co-incidence that you just happen to post Russian propaganda.

i doubt you will be able to figure out the difference between simple media bias and full of propaganda driven from a dictatorship that controls every form of media in their country.

gish gallop away.........
