[pp.int.general] Opposing austerity

[Antonio Garcia]

We are going the same way as the 15M/Occupy/Indignado movement... mass rhetoric and its associated tyranny of the simple ones replaces knowledge and debate.

We saw it at work in our dear PPI GA 2012 and in recent court rulings... bullshit gets the majority vote anytime.

It will get worse if we continue to go the populist route...


In our present times... the big majority NEVER "knows" how to behave correctly.

Justus, you can't ask him to modify his rhetoric cos in the pirate party, people come and do politics as they are :)



So now I can't ask you to change your rhetoric but please respect the rhetoric of the others :)

I did not just say that, I also stated that your rhetoric sounds a bit like you are, at least to me, and that I would subsequently kindly ask you to modify it a bit.

We all know that.  It goes without saying.



I've started a discussion of how the Pirate movement should address

two major political issue, the biggest short-term issue and the

biggest long-term issue of our time.  Aren't they more important than

repeating that I'm not in charge?
