  • A lot of them also seem to refer to earlier forms of 1080 etc. Given the “silent seas” I suspect what this is really about is a sort of folk response to climate change and ecological collapse.

    But the rabid activist ones seem to have linked the “Agenda 21” conspiracies, chemtrails etc with 1080. The covid/5G stuff as well, Sue Grey (antivax lawyer) was mixed up with the ban 1080 movement.



  • It’s unclear to me. As far as I can tell they think the United Nations/Illuminati wants to poison the humans, birds, and mammals and … maybe get rid of farmland? Repurpose New Zealand somehow.

    Some of them have physically attacked Department of Conservation staff, sabotaged vehicles, etc. They’re passionate about it.





  • I think I see what’s happening here. The missing piece of the puzzle is that there are 2 kinds of rights.

    “Negative rights” = the right to not have certain things happen to you, aka freedoms. Eg freedom from being assaulted.

    “Positive rights” = the right to do/have stuff.

    In the case of enslavement, the negative right - to be free from being forced to work, owned, etc is a much more important right than the positive right to own property.
