The boogeyman group used to be those shadowy Fabian Socialists! The sheer sense of entitlement these people have, but leading to the same enshittification of our public space and discourse. 😟

What obnoxious people. Their reasoning is highly suspect and actually globalist despite them using that word to describe others.

So my thought is … the left and far left people can learn from this. I’m acutely aware that there will be ways of operating that are not ethical and would not be undertaken. But the key point is, this is really *organised.

I guess I’m starting to say what many people already say … #ORGANISE

Campaign targeting Dept. of Conservation Boards (not for 1st time) appears prosocial, democratic, & an expression of civic interest. However, what it masks is a sophisticated, strategic, & sustained far-right playbook. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/novichok-mind-far-rights-theory-political-change-new-hattotuwa-ph-d--xj4gc/?trackingId=24sp6%2FHjR%2Bq9ajV4yURvtw%3D%3D & https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/martin-sellners-far-right-playbook-threat-new-liberal-sanjana-p7ssc/?trackingId=uQ1ecp7XT1GSM3ZUC4uHuA%3D%3D flag this.

It's hard to get on those boards. I would not worry.

This playbook involves the sophisticated rebranding of neo-Nazism, institutional capture (and hollowing out) through infiltration (incl. by election), pervasive, & persuasive parallel media networks, & the adoption/adaptation of Sellner's concept of "connectable provocation", & "metapolitics".

With this in mind, messaging around DOC Board nominations is institutional infiltration 101: Rather than targeting elected positions, the focus is on bureaucratic roles with policy influence. DOC Boards are perfect - they shape environmental policy but draw less scrutiny than elected positions.

Focus on grassroots: Building "120 local groups across NZ" isn't just community organising. It's about creating parallel power structures that can operate independently while expanding influence.

sanjanah.bsky.social•63 days ago

Parallel media networks, & communications strategy: There's clear mention of a two-phased approach - "quietly sharing through networks" before public announcement. This prevents early resistance while building momentum with the far-right network(s), helping mobilisation without unnecessary scrutiny.

sanjanah.bsky.social•63 days ago

"Systems overhaul...not from top down" reveals the playbook. It's about building counter-institutions, & parallel power structures to challenge from within. Death by a 1,000 cuts approach to institutional integrity, which is essentially, a hollowing out of public institutions done by NZ Govt itself.
