My website stats are not that great even after all my effort. I’m glad I gave it a go and set an example, because some people supported me. One guy shouted out to me “bro you’re right, landlords ARE parasites”. So, most people don’t say it out loud, but there are people who agree with me. I was between the university and Ilam New World writing with my chalk, and a group of students walked past. One girl just said “FACTS”. They got the message :)

Most New Zealanders are neither here nor there, they just wander aimlessly through life with a passive attitude like NPCs in a computer game. I’m not trying to win over those who are entirely passive “go with the flow, yeah nah bro” kinds of fools. If a few good people saw my chalk and laughed, then it was worth it. I don’t care about the unwashed masses who are willing to accept any amount of abuse from landlords or the government. The type of person who rents, but is indifferent to my cause, I ignore them. These people will be the first to line up at the edge of a trench and take a bullet to the back of the head, willingly, if there was an authoritarian government. I’m the person who has to be assassinated or black-bagged first thing because I’m the person who agitates the second tier.

Put it like this:

1. agitators and potential leaders: these people get pissed off first and take action.
2. future activists: they see the actions of the above, and eventually become a type of activist themselves.
3. supporters: they agree with the message but rarely take part in anything, besides agreeing with the message.
4. lemmings: this is the bottom tier, they are totally indifferent. They will occasionally grumble about the cost of living, but they are happy to be taken advantage of. The lemming never does anything to help the cause, and will even grumble about those who take action.
