Yet, we keep seeing "Pirate" parties in Europe side with neoliberal, pro-rich, pro-corporate parties like the FDP or adopt anarcho-capitalism bullshit. Even though they lose votes, members, credibility and legitimacy. The #PirateMovement can only be #antifascist & pro-people.
If the #PirateMovement is a public building, the @piratenpartei.de is 15 tonnes of #surströmming brine dumped into the HVAC system.
In the first electoral failure of her career as PPDE chair, she'll fall on her sword while the architects of the party's demise will retain their seats and power. We've seen this movie in so many re-runs. In a nutshell: YOU undid your party & the whole #PirateMovement. No one else. OWN IT. 12/12
Remember: THIS guy is loved by the disgusting, rotten to its racist and neo-fascist core, @piratenpartei.de - the party that has been running and ruining the #PirateMovement for nearly 15 years now, with the blessing of most of the other European Pirates.

Racists, neo-colonialists, warmongers, fascists, pro-Apartheid / pro-genocide people need to be kicked out, without fearing the hollow threat of "vote loss"; instead, #PirateMovement history has proven it's these people that give #Pirates a bad name and keep decent people from joining. 3/3
He's utterly unfit for office; like @frank87.bsky.social, he's a liability. I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking they want to place @piratenpartij.nl under the yoke of the politically extinct, pro-genocide, and morally bankrupt @piratenpartei.de. The #PirateMovement needs a clean-up. 2/3
Tell us, Herr Sobieski, does this #Drecksarbeit also include assassination attempts on elected statesmen? You and the whole @piratenpartei.de have been a disgrace to the #PirateMovement for at least 15 years, from the Tauss scandal all the way to your support to #Genocide.
Second, our take on the dangerous, #neo-LePenist "ni droite, ni gauche" approach that burdens the #PirateMovement since it started and allowed far-right elements to take over national parties and transnational Pirate organizations like the #PPEU & #PPI: www.pirateparty.gr/2025/02/upro...

...kept publishing official press releases/announcements detailing (in Greek and English) what we saw was wrong, sounding the alarm for the #PirateMovement. We're going to give them to you (they're long reads, so please take your time), so you will know where we're at and where we stand. 3/10
Exactly. The same goes for the #PirateMovement, where everybody's been capitulating to the Germans for so long. I'm sure @birgittaj.bsky.social and @vasperpirate.bsky.social will tell you how all about how well this played out.
PS: Perhaps these fine gentlemen didn't believe the Arab world has fact checkers. Perhaps they thought this is something only WASPs have. Such is the #GlobalNorth #WhiteSupremacist idiocy that plagues the #PirateMovement and has turned it into a bad-taste joke.
Any self-respecting journo, any actual Pirate who honors the "evidence-based politics" maxim of the #PirateMovement would take a few moments to see if that post contained facts or #disinfo. This is where things get really disturbing. As if the German "Pirate" party's history isn't already... (3/10)
This #racist, #genocidal, #Nazi rhetoric (yes, NAZI) is precisely at the heart of everything the @piratenpartei.de's Schoresch Davoodi, Alex Kohler, Max Kehm, Dennis Klüver et al spew on X and elsewhere. The #PPDE, along with its accomplices, is the rot at the heart of the #PirateMovement.
Long, but worth reading. The #PirateMovement has betrayed the very values it claims to represent.
Long 🧵on the disgusting silence of the #PirateMovement on #Gaza & the #GenocideOfPalestinians:
We're entering the 20th month of this #genocide that is perpetrated by #Israel, a state that is held by the Global North (and its lackeys) above and beyond every concept of law and #accountability. (1/30)
Part 8: The #EuropeanPirateParty #PPEU, which markets itself as a party of #FreeSpeech absolutists, trying to impose #censorship against any who criticise unscrupulous officials who have made the #PirateMovement a laughing stock. How ironic, indeed.

The @piratenpartei.de remains a racist, pro-genocide, pro-Apartheid tumor. If the #PirateMovement wishes to survive, this malignant growth needs to be surgically removed.
And to think the #PirateMovement claims to be all about transparency and accountability! Looks like Mr. Florian Roussel, the #PPEU's chairperson, has taken a leaf out of #Mitsotakis' playbook.
Call us muckrakers if you will, but the time has come to speak openly against the people and factions that have made a mockery of the #PirateMovement and delegitimized it. No decent person would EVER stand with a corrupt, far-right, racist, genocidal Apartheid regime in the first place, ... 2/10
This sums up how low the #PirateMovement, just like the rest of the #West, has stooped. cc @birgittaj.bsky.social @asteris.bsky.social @brunotersago.bsky.social @glynmoody.bsky.social
#Gaza is the litmus test for the West's pretence of a "rules-based order." As an integral part of it, the #PirateMovement failed miserably, proving it's led by racists who would gladly see an entire people exterminated and erased.
If you condemn this #warcrime, the #GlobalNorth / #neocolonialist faction that's hijacked the #PirateMovement will say you support "terrorism".
Mr. van Treuren is in no position to lecture anyone. The exact same applies to all those who have dragged the #PirateMovement down into the depths of infamy and irrelevance. As for the libelous "you are supporting terrorism by demanding condemnation of #ApartheidIsrael", he had better... 6/7
...re: #Palestine as compared to #Ukraine only shows systemic #racism within the #PirateMovement: the right of a nation to defend itself is subject to its people's color and creed, and our relationship with the invader. This is betrayal of every human principle, much less the #PirateIdeology. 5/7
This unquestioning white/pink/green/whatever-washing of #ApartheidIsrael is a #groupthink that has spread throughout the #PirateMovement like an aggressive malignant tumor.
We're inching nearer to the conclusion that there's been a very strong drive to make the #PirateMovement as white as possible and align it with the global reactionary forces.
According to the German and Dutch "Pirates", posts like these constitute "support for terrorism". And you're still wondering why no decent person wants to touch the #PirateMovement with a barge pole?

Sadly - and disgustingly - the #PirateMovement has been hijacked by people eager to serve this plan.
Why did the #PirateMovement abandon traditional allies like @fairmediawatch.bsky.social @corporateeurope.bsky.social @ftm.eu @lobbycontrol.bsky.social @amnesty.org @unrwa.org @hrw.org?
