The left hate grassroots organisations that they don’t own
The hysterical smears continue. Some on the left live in a fictional world where only organisations they agree with are grass roots organisations, and when an organisation succeeds they disagree with, their minds are so limited they think it must be due to overseas big money.
Funnily enough they never scrutinise the organisations they like. Action Station doesn’t even publish annual accounts because they are a company.
The FSU was created because Auckland’s Mayor claimed he blocked two Canadian speakers from being able to speak at a Council venue. Then Massey deplatformed Don Brash and support grew, and thanks to the efforts of so many on the left, support keeps growing for the FSU as we see weekly examples of attempts to sack people for their political opinions.
As I understand it the FSU has around 70,000 supporters on their mailing list. And over 10,000 have donated to the FSU. You can’t get more grassroots than that. But Greg can’t actually deal with the possibility that the FSU is a successful grassroots organisations, so he resorts to conspiracy smears.
Some on the left don’t understand that the Internet has allowed ordinary New Zealanders to organise and support causes they believe in. Whether it be Taxpayers’s Union, Groundswell, Free Speech Union or Hobson’s Pledge – they all get the vast bulk of their funding through thousands of small dollar donations from ordinary New Zealanders.
