Why is New Zealand& #39;s pandemic response (as of a few months ago, might I add) being blasted across Fox News in the US and presented as some sort of dystopian totalitarian FEMA internment camp ridden nightmare?
Because there& #39;s an Election on.
Because there& #39;s an Election on.
And they want to desperately make it seem like the ONLY WAY to actually have a competent response to Covid-19 is ... by , well, that.
So 4 and 5 star hotels housing people coming into the country for mandatory 14 day quarantine , or close contacts of confirmed cases in the community .. get turned into internment camps where not-actually-ill New Zealanders are snatched up into from off the street ;
and remarks explaining the Kiwi policy dating from months ago are branded as a "terrifying new response".
They& #39;re trying DESPERATELY to distract from their own blustering incompetence - & therefore transforming via the magic of the camera lens and the biased media talking-head,
a situation wherein we are all pretty much living *normally* here in Kiwiland, one of the *most free* societies on the planet right now ..

of socialist / fascist (mis-)rule dotted with camps for dissidents under a tyrannical pseudo-monarch with an adoring cult of personality sufficient to drown out the apparently repressed domestic opposition and "moderate rebels" .
