With the Dear Leader of Aotearoa intent on her hate speech laws, editors Eva and Geoffrey here model headwear so that those who may be considered ideologically suspect can avoid a visit from the Thought Police, or if they do show up, convince them of your soundness.
Summer — a Che Guevara beret. What better way to show common cause with “Dear Leader” than the beret of the late communist revolutionary with the red star featured on hundreds of posters, prints and T-shirts?
Winter — a Soviet ushanka with a suitable badge featuring a red star and a hammer and sickle. This one has that of a Soviet police kommissar, which might be considered even better to show the Thought Police that you’re not going to tolerate any counter-revolutionary talk from pesky Civil Libertarians! No, you want Jacinda’s critics put in a gulag! Jacinda is the genius who knows best!
Don’t forget to only address members of the Thought Police as “comrade” and begin with an enthusiastic “Hail Jacinda!” or “Hail the Dear Leader!” Don’t give a Roman salute, though: it might be misconstrued.
