1974: I Care
August 28, 2019

New Zealanders living through the Feels vs. Reals cultural contests of our own times can easily relate to this drippy bullshit from Labour 3.0 back in 1974….
“Where’s the end to all our talking? So intellectual with our airs and….things. You know what’s wrong? We’ve been talking far too long! When all we mean to say is that ‘I care'”
“I care for the flowers, little girl. I care for the sun that shines…”
These lyrics come from Prime Minister Norman Kirk’s Labour 3.0 ‘ecology and society’ campaign in early 1974. Whatever the hell that meant. The State’s 24 radio stations (The NZBC) blasted out this year-long ‘I Care’ campaign “for the protection of the environment,” according to Nz On Screen who have singer/songwriter John Hanlon performing the whole thing at the campaign’s launch.
Hanlon…”still reels at the cavalier treatment he received from the stiff-shirted politicians of the day. “I ended up going ballistic. It was a ‘hello darling’, pigs at the trough cocktail event.””- Ref. The voice of a generation; NZ Herald
Note the brain-dead hypocrisy of Labour’s champaign socialist junket. Note also the anti-intellectualism of this virtue-signalling bandwagon. It costs them nothing to pronounce such drippy slogans and sing dippy songs but it comes with this unearned feeling of pompous self-congratulation. In fact, it doesn’t even cost as much as mental sweat because there’s no cognitive activity behind these ideas at all; Just vibes. Even they don’t know what they mean. Care about what?
Our hopes and prayers are with you. Sending good vibes your way. Don’t forget to take your Blue Pills!
Meanwhile, behind this political cover, shenanigans are going on and someone else is paying for it with actual cash. Sentiments are free. If you question Labour 3.0’s policy the answer is “I care.” If you don’t get on board then NZBC will put the shame on you for not “caring.”
