A thread on the most prominent #PirateParty: Time to be honest, @piratenpartei.de. You have been weighed, you have been measured, and found wanting. Shall we talk due diligence? In 2009, you agreed to take Jörg Tauss in, even though he was being investigated for possession of #CSAM. (1/16) - ThreadSky

Did the ongoing investigation not worry you at all? Did you not think "wait a minute, taking in a politician with #CSAM on his hard drive will reflect badly on us and the whole #PirateMovement"? WTF were you thinking? Long story short, Tauss got convicted in 2010 and left the party. (2/16)

Second, the #neo-LePenist "not left, not right, we're just tech" BS that Falkvinge et al forced down every Pirate's throats enabled even Holocaust deniers to not only join your party, but stick around, forcing the likes of Martin Delius to leave in disgust. What were you thinking? (3/16)

Third: the #GerwaldClaus-Brunner scandal. Yes, he was your most prominent parliamentarian, the most colorful, the most "out there". But there was a LOT wrong with him. You were warned numerous times. There were complaints about his behavior from numerous Landtag staffers and workers. (4/16)

There were multiple complaints about his behavior from party members and personnel. Most of them were for women. He would casually make disgusting misogynistic comments. You didn't listen to the complaints. You thought nothing of his blatant, #GamerGate -like misogyny. You shrugged it off. (5/16)

When one of your interns complained about his unwanted sexual advances, you did nothing. The poor guy turned to the Police. No one protected him. Your great Gerwald wouldn't take "no" for an answer. So he killed the poor fella. And then offed himself. Because you did nothing. (6/16)

Literally, in the #GerwaldClaus-Brunner scandal, your #Bundesvorstand has blood on its hands, @piratenpartei.de. Had you taken those complaints seriously, had you listened to the women and the guy Claus-Brunner was after, things would have been different. You didn't. Why? Tell us! (7/16)
