All of the west has had conservative aristocrats take over their mainstream parties, the only reform vote is the far right misdirecting anger from the plutocracy to immigrants and everything else.
Without getting a popular reform option fascists will seize the entire west with russia and the us helping behind the scenes, and fix elections like in hungary or however and we will not be able to get rid of them even as they get worse every cycle.
The western european countries will fall like dominoes with current leadership and lack thereof. We need to organize first, then find and groom real leaders, then take elections and direct anger to it’s sources, the super rich.
The consequence of Chat conttrol is a next step to open and control your post cards and any other privat correspondence with the same stupid argument of “security”. Encrypted comunication exist for a good reason.
Alternate title: Danish dipshit fails basic computer literacy test, somehow stumbles into a parliament position.
Also, if he’s the chief architect, then this is what he’s building:
Danish Minister of Justice and chief architect of the current Chat Control proposal, Peter Hummelgaard
apparently nominally a member of a social-democratic party
When I was younger, I believed that social-democratic parties were better than conservative ones on matters of civil liberties. I stand corrected on that.
This is why it’s so important to vote based on policy, not party names or “teams”. Parties can name themselves whatever they want (within reason) and they evolve and change as well. Canada right now is a good example. The current Liberal party is basically the Conservative party of the 90s. Just look at policy and leave the brand out of it.
Never forget, North Korea calls itself The Democratic Republic of North Korea. The Nazis were called The National Socialist German Worker’s Party. Words have meaning, even when they don’t.
It’s more like people in power don’t like civil liberties.
mrrrrreow meow :3
What if I go into politics and start mrrreow meow :3 in EU parliament?
Fascists, meet the fascists, they’re the modern stone age government
He may be an asshole, but calling everyone you don’t like a fascist is just going to make the word useless
the word’s not useless, it’s just that its meaning has evolved to encompass pretty much all authoritarianism, rather than just a specific subset of it.

He’s just a misguided social democrat. Unfortunately social democracy in Scandinavia got caught in the ratchet mechanism and is now straying further from the light every year, wondering why their former voters feel betrayed.
Unfortunately people here are mostly incapable of having nuance.
