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.
It’s more like people in power don’t like civil liberties.
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.
SocDem is still capitalist. Capitalist politicians answer to capital.
Yep. If you want to escape from surveillance and censorship, you’ve got to go to a communist country.
The capitalist counties have proven that surveillance and censorship is more effective when you make it so subtle that a majority of their citizens are unaware that it’s happening.
Where would that be?
I was being sarcastic.
You forgot the /s
I guess, some people are deluded with communism.
As a dane: The social democratic party in Denmark has changed a lot in the last 10-20 years. It used to be much more left-leaning. Nowadays it’s essentially a middle party. They adopted quite a few policies from the right wing (especially on the immigration area), in an attempt to keep the power basically, and it has worked immensely well, in the sense that many, many people have voted for them.
Just because the guy is a fucktard, doesnt mean the party is. And the other way around.
Politics is not a “team sport” and we should not treat it like that.
Parties choose whom to nominate as ministers.
I’m not a voter in Denmark and not familiar with Danish politics; this kind of thing would certainly cause me to vote for a different party.
Yeah, I think I swayed too much into a general critic of a way of thinking about politics.
I still agree with you, when it’s a minister.
It’s also worth to note that his party, even though their name, is a middle party now and no longer left.
There are plenty of parties better for the people than them right now.
Social democracy is the left wing of fascism
What a stupid take.
Historically and presently 100% accurate, cope
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:
That just needs one CSS attribute to fix
Ahh CSS! how I fucking…

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.
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.
Just to be safe I want everyone to know that if this guy gets shot I would be reaally sad.
I’m sure there is somebody out there who thinks this guy is not fascist enough! This is all so absurd.

"What’s with Denmark going MAGA-level? Here we go!”
Why do people not realize how unacceptable all that shit is?
I mean imagine in the old days before email someone said that they wanted to open all mail packages and examine the contents as well as make a copy of all letters sent, personal or professional, that were sent through the mail? People would have been right outraged. Is it that because somehow posting things on a cell phone or computer makes them feel… less real?
Also every fucking time I see shit like this I am reminded of an old comic from Mad Magazine… it featured a young office boy talking to the sleazy manager. He says ‘hey, I heard you started out just like me, and now you’re practically running the whole company, can you give me some advice?’
And he responds ‘well, for starters… make sure you read EVERYONES personal letters.’
I was a young kid when I first saw it and I didn’t understand. But now I fucking do.
Going through someone else’s mail upset people so much, they made it a felony. 😮
Hi fascist! I’m guillotine!
I miss the times when fascists were beaten with rocks.
bullets
Those are too quick

A vtuber catfolk politician? Might as well try it.

How would he like for his messages to be surveilled? The people pushing chat control conveniently leave out the detail that they decided to exempt themselves from this measure.
Fascists, meet the fascists, they’re the modern stone age government
