‘Splintered realities’: How NZ convoy lost its way

Counterspin is one of the largest platforms for conspiracy theories and far-right ideology in New Zealand.

By the same standards that the US-led West applies towards the leaders of Global South nations, some could consider that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau already de facto abdicated after fleeing his capital. After all, that’s exactly what they’d say if Syrian President Bashar Assad or Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed did the same.
