I went to Berlin, and the Pirate Party had a bunch of stupid anti-housing-construction posters up (like you see from the NIMBYs in SF). Seems that they have drifted from their origins of internet freedom. Reminds me of Occupy SF- it started out as a group of motivated, charismatic people trying to get the thieves in the banks jailed, ended up with random crazies blathering about chemtrails in the general assembly for half an hour and shooting up in tents.


It was even worse. Occupy did never chant slogans in favour of banks. The Berlin pirate party had influential members that did advocate Internet censorship. (For non culture sensitive stuff)
