I really don't buy the "the government is using this pandemic as a pretense to install a police state" conspiracy theory. Jacinda Ardern would have to be flat-out retarded to deliberately destroy the economy and the lives of so many Kiwis for the mere sake of pulling a Karen power trip. It really comes down to humans allowing the fear of their mortality and/or the mortality of their vulnerable loved ones to make them behave in irrational ways.
There are lots of NPCs who are literally begging for the government's boot down their neck because they are terrified of either they themselves getting the virus or a loved one of theirs getting the virus and getting fucked up. And Labour is giving them what they want. Fear makes people do really stupid shit. This is what the voters are asking for. Jacinda Ardern's approval rating is actually very high and you can see Kiwis on Reddit eating out her asshole right now.
If you think the government would sabotage the economy on purpose for shits and giggles, then it is you who is the retard. People like you who peddle conspiracy theories online make lockdown skeptics look bad.
You can go on a power trip without sabotaging your economy. lol. Why on earth would you kneecap enterprise in your country and devalue your currency even further for a "power trip"? She's doing it because this is what Kiwis are asking for. She has a high approval rating and Labour is projected to win another majority. Kiwis are fucking retarded. They think that you can just keep printing money for the people who go on unemployment during this lockdown and that this isn't going to come with any consequences. The more money you print and with less stuff being available for purchase due to lockdowns, the result is higher prices for goods and services.
There is nothing complex about a politician's motivations. They are going to do whatever it takes to get re-elected. Which is why Ontario Premier Doug Ford is governing almost like a Liberal with the pandemic. Because the Greater Toronto Area is very Liberal and Ford knows that a laissez faire/light touch approach to the pandemic would lead to him getting blown out of Toronto in 2022. Right now Ford is projected to win a majority in Ontario because the suburban swing voters who voted for Kathleen Wynne in 2014 and him in 2018 are happy with his heavy-handed approach to the pandemic. Low-trust societies like Toronto tend to favor government intervention and snitch lines. New Zealand and Australia have heavy regulations because these societies are low trust as fuck.
But yeah, I'm sure that bus you rode to school was smaller than the rest because there were fewer kids from your area. Just fasten your helmet and keep your stick on the ice.
You are a conspiracy theory nutjob. People like you make conservatives look insane. Thank God Doug Ford is running Ontario and not unhinged QAnon lunatics like you.

Ardern is a legit communist so who knows.
I am so tired of pandering to cunts who can't accept their own mortality.
