I was walking to the butcher's shop on saturday and was stopped in my tracks by this fucking fantastic election propaganda by Wellington collective Toothfish, hanging in the window of the local record store. Awesome aesthetic tour de force and succinct scrape-up of all our bitter feelings toward National and their cannibalistic monetarist fuckery.
For those of you unfamiliar with New Zealand's, lol, politics, this is John Key, our odious multimillionaire PM and notional head of the National Party; national might sound inclusive but they're being ironic with that shit and no, the dead fish eyes are not artistic licence. Neither is the eminence of the symbol arrayed behind and upon him.
These depraved arseclowns spend their time in office rigging 'free market' mechanisms in favour of the already-affluent, distributing cash incentives to oil and mining companies, crafting elaborate punitive measures against welfare recipients and blocking desperately-needed environmental and social legislation. John's mates have been squealing about the unfairness of this particular portrayal given that his mum's Jewish. Ha ha ha ha ha ha unfairness. From people who think equity is something that happens when you raise the rent on your investment properties. I don't know about you, but overprivileged white men being sensitive about another overprivileged white man's ethnicity after spending years of their own lives marginalising anyone who doesn't fit that description pretty much makes me want to choke an overprivileged white guy. Bitch, please. Cry me a river of gilded tears. It's probably tax deductible. Vote Green!
