Good Riddance to Jacinda Ardern, Arch-Statist (New Zealand retiring PM)
The Objective Standard ^ | 1/24/2023 | Walker-Werth

We will continue to be your single source of truth. . . . Unless you hear it from us, it is not the truth. —Jacinda Ardern

On February 19, 2023, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced her resignation, saying she “no longer has enough in the tank” to stay in the role until the coming October election.1 Many New Zealanders, who lived through some of the harshest lockdowns in the world under Ardern’s leadership, are rejoicing.

But media and politicians alike have piled praise on Ardern’s premiership while dismissing her critics as an extreme fringe. Guardian journalist Jess Philips said that Ardern “presented the world with the kind of leadership that uniquely [leaned] on her emotional intelligence. . . . She leaves a legacy she can be proud of.”2 Ardern’s Canadian counterpart, Justin Trudeau, thanked her for her “empathic, compassionate, strong, and steady leadership over these past several years,” and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Ardern “has shown the world how to lead with intellect and strength. . . . She has demonstrated that empathy and insight are powerful leadership qualities.”3 The only mention Philips made of Ardern’s critics was in reference to a “constant threat of abuse” from “people who hate progressive women and believe they are damning masculinity; anti-vaxxers outraged by her tough Covid stance; those with a general loathing of all politicians.”4 Major New Zealand news outlet Stuff said Ardern had faced “vile vitriol directed at her by oafs and lunatics.” (That line was hyperlinked to an article titled “Jacinda Ardern: An Inspirational Role Model and Victim of Ingrained Misogyny.”)5 Many look up to Ardern as a role model of leadership, but does she warrant such adulation?

Honestly about all I knew of her is she used the excuse of a mass shooting to eviscerate the gun rights of all New Zealanders. Not one single revelation surprised me though.-she is a leftist, true to form.

Gonna marry the current one, I think. I don’t think the mullahs would approve of her behavior, to this point.

Jacinda is a communist dictator who was voted into power and relished abusing it. Covid was used as the pretext to impose totalitarian rule. She hates people and took great pleasure in torturing them. Jacinda Mao wrecked NZ’s economy. She is a horrid witch. On the bright side, NZers revolted and put up a good fight.

Her speeches were so artfully worded, it almost made one content to be crushed.
