Another climbdown after another assault on Democracy. We can rush through legislation to ban social media for kids (but leave the filth on social media alone) but it takes years and years to rejig local democracy....it's almost like Labour doesn't really know what they are doing and why?

Fascism
"Political violence towards enemies and minorities"
That's Fascism, that's what is happening here, that's what the Government is bending the knee too with it's disgraceful and xenophobic policies.

"[3 Waters is] fundamentally the creation of these 4 mega ... bureaucratic entities, that are actually stripping power away from local communities, and stripping those aasets."

#CLuxon, clip played on The Detail podcast, 2023

https://www.rnz.co.nz/podcast/the-detail?share=58b425f8-6bc9-4e38-adf8-d9f921904eb9

The NatACT First campaign machines came up with a wide range of such faux-localist talking points while they were weaponising 3 Waters as a wedge issue against the government of the day.

@adrianww @Alternatecelt @peterbrown @LaChasseuse @Wen which means, I think, that local democratic institutions have to be able to tax land — and to tax large holdings crippingly.

As I've been saying for years.

Post 9: The Community Resistance
🏘️ Amsterdam → Meta's abandoned Zeewolde project (electricity for ALL Amsterdam households)
Virginia → $64B in blocked datacenter projects
Ireland → 21% national electricity consumption sparks backlash
Communities are saying: "Your AI dreams ≠ Our power nightmares"
