RODNEY HIDE: Endless repetition makes lies truth

The Ardern years continue to blight the nation. It’s not just the destructive policies and debilitating debt but the lasting dysfunctional governance both public and private that routinely lies to us and infantilises us. 


The legacy media are gone. They are now pimps for government and corporate propaganda. 


Endless repetition makes lies truth, with dissent deplatformed and demonised. 


The liberating internet is now throttled by tech companies themselves pumping and pimping government messaging. 


The pumping and pimping isn’t for government as such: it’s for The Narrative and favoured government. The pumping and pimping is partisan. 


Merit and competence are gone. Diversity and inclusion rule. Productivity and service give way to performative virtue signaling. Gobbledygook has replaced plain speaking. 


It wasn’t Ardern who did this. It’s throughout the West. It happened here under Ardern and deepens under Prime Minister Luxon. 


So far I have explained what happened in generalities. Now let me illustrate with a specific. 


Readers will recall my concern for my daughters' safety at Remarkables Ski Field. The female toilet that my girls use has been labeled transgender. Men are now invited into what should be a safe and private place for my girls. 


I complained and received the following response:


The Remarkables has introduced 1 gender-neutral bathroom in addition to our 3 gender-specific bathrooms, to create a more inclusive environment where everyone feels safe and respected. It's important to us that we provide options that cater to all individuals. 


Both men and women still have access to gender-specific bathrooms within the base building, ensuring that no one’s needs are overlooked.


Here’s the soothing messaging: The trans bathroom is for inclusion. It’s only fair. We want everyone to feel safe, not just your girls. 


Besides, we have “gender-specific” bathrooms downstairs. That means everyone is cared for and made safe. Your girls can just pop downstairs.


But “gender-specific” is a red flag. I wrote back asking Remarkables Ski Field if the women’s “gender-specific” toilet was open to “women with penises”. 


Of course, women with penises is oxymoronic. But that’s the language we are forced to use to determine whether my girls are at risk from men in their toilets. 


The reply took two weeks:


Thank you for your patience in awaiting my reply. 


At this stage, we have our gender specific toilets downstairs however we are looking at potentially moving them upstairs. If you chat with our Guest Services team up the mountain they will be able to point you in the direction of our gender specific bathrooms. The gender specific bathrooms are for those who identify as the gender outlined on the bathroom signage. We are unable to police guests biological sex when they use our bathroom facilities.  


Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have further questions.


And so women and girls with penises are free to use the gender-specific toilets supposedly reserved for females.


The Remarkables Ski Field are “general supporters” of the Pride Pledge meaning they are onboard but “just starting their rainbow inclusion journey.”


No doubt it’s a commercial decision. The Winter Pride Festival is a big money spinner for Queenstown. 


The Pledge involves staff training and ongoing support. The Remarkables Ski Field’s reply is a classic Pride Pledge response and ticks every blight inflicted upon us through the Ardern years. 


It’s lies, dysfunctional governance, diversity and inclusion, and performative virtue signaling, all in the one response. And gaslighting — that apt term that describes making you, the truth teller, the one with the problem. 


I make my example Remarkables Ski Field only to illustrate the general problem. The same complaint would apply to every corporation, every council and every government department. 


We have always been able to police biological sex in female spaces. My kids at five could tell a man a mile off and would not be fooled by a dress and makeup.   Women only need to call the male out in their bathroom and the men will respond. But we need the property owner to stand for the clear rule and not to abandon women and girls to predators. We men will do the rest. As would the Police — before they took the Pride Pledge and got the Rainbow Tick. 


Our women aren’t safe. We have opened their safe spaces to rapists, voyeurs, exhibitionists and pedophiles. Our government institutions and corporations have declared themselves inclusive and unable and unwilling to back the simple rule of exclusion based on biological sex. 


We men acting to protect our girls and women folk will now be the ones arrested.


I should note that I am not accusing transvestites of sex crimes. The transvestites I have known have always been gentle and empathetic souls.  It’s not transvestites that concern me.  But in our mad infatuation with diversity and inclusion we have given rapists and pedophiles the perfect cover. Transvestites are being used too.


And it’s not about toilets or transvestites. It’s about demoralising men and women. Erasing the difference. It’s about the destruction of marriage and the family and care of women and children. It’s about men losing their ability to stand up and to fight.


It’s the elimination of truth and morals. Of God and Country. 


It’s the destruction of all that is Good and Great in favour of all that is Base and Corrupt. 


Our political leaders and corporations are but pawns in this seismic cultural shift. It’s supra-national. The United Nations and other multinational organisations are the source. Yes, our politicians sign off on it. But our public servants cut and paste the policy advice from above and our politicians are just led along too weak to stand as men, too weak to stand as women. 


We know the UN doesn’t have our best interest at heart.  We only need look at who finds a home there.
