During the hysterical phase of the Covid pandemic New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern became a culture heroine. Feminists far and wide cheered lustily to see a new mother take charge of her country and shut it down completely.
Now, that’s feminist leadership for you. Shut down everything. Destroy schooling and economic activity. Make no distinctions. Anything to prevent anyone from catching the bug.
Anyway, for being a strong, empowered woman-- like Kamala Harris-- Ardern is going to give an address at the Harvard commencement. Cheers for Harvard, for making a role model of a woman who most likely-- how could it be otherwise?-- neglected her newborn child. And who built exactly nothing.
About that, no one cares.
Anyway, the Not-the-Bee site brings us up to date on things in New Zealand.
New Zealand went absolutely bonkers over Covid. Sure, the average age of victims was almost (or over) 80, but instead of locking down the vulnerable and letting everyone else get natural immunity, they locked everything down for 2 years and then basically made it impossible to leave your home if you didn't inject yourself with an experimental vax that would become ineffective in less than a year.
New Zealand's Prime Minister was a prime example of why Karens should never, ever be put in charge of a nation:
Anyway, now that they did all that, their Covid levels are through the roof, even though most of them are triple- or quadruple-vaxxed.
The insane lockdowns did save some lives from Covid, since most of these new cases are from the far-less-lethal Omicron variant, but as with the rest of the world, it will be years before we see the true effects of the mandates – all the lost income, hopes, dreams, friendships, careers, family bonds, special events, businesses, milestones, freedoms, medical screenings, funerals, goodwill, education, playtime, vacations, investments, neighborly trust, and overall will to live. The physical and psychological toll is beyond compare.
As a coda, we remark that New Zealand has one dubious distinction. The country has more sheep than people. And yes, that’s sheep in the ovine sense.
Two cheers for Jacinda.

And yet, she won re-election by a landslide and her party actually gained seats in their parliament. Karenism is unfortunately the majority opinion in the Anglosphere, and we are not going to vote our way out of it.
