New Zealand is going down that path too and despite being right next door to Australia, the people are more inclined to just roll over than fight like the Aussies are. So more like Costa Rica. Apparently there are still 500,000 (10% of the population) of us who have not taken the first jab, but the mandates are coming in now. So some will give in to keep their jobs, but hopefully most will hold strong. Thanks for your story, it needs to be told.
My heart goes out to you... or shall I say my heart is with you. Sounds like we're in a similar bucket of hot mess. I saw video today of the French protesting in the streets of Paris, and Italians thronging their cities in outrage... I know we'll eventually reach a point in time where protests don't make a difference. But are we really there yet? I hope EVERY nation stands up against this tyranny, CR and NZ included.
One thing that's comforting is that there are a lot of different freedom groups in NZ. One in particular has local groups that you can join and meet with (for now anyway!). Our local group is also dividing us up by suburb so that we will soon have a list of those who live nearby if SHTF and we need to share resources. We might be only about 10% of the population but we'll stand together.
Now is definitely the time for groups like that to form. I've heard over the last couple of days that a group of attorneys here in CR is suing the government over the mandates. I hope it's true and I hope they win.
