Are you actually fine with white supremacists? Or do you just defend them out of ignorance?

> Aaron Swartz is so young there is really nothing much to say about him. This is absolutely insulting, given how clear he Aaron Swartz was about his beliefs from a young age and how much he accomplished in effecting them before he died. > This guy lived basically 3x of Aaron's lifetime. I have no idea what this is supposed to imply.
Life is short and Aaron received a fraction of that. One can only imagine what would've been had Aaron received more time.

You'll have to be more explicit about what you are intending to communicate by making this statement in the context of a thread about the death of a man who, when he was the same age Aaron Swartz was at the time the latter died, was a prominent member of a neo-Nazi party.

I can tell you that Aaron Swartz would not be happy to hear that comparison were he alive today, particularly that last part.
Oh absolutely. I think it's very safe to say that Aaron Swartz would have hated everything Carl Lundstöm stood for. I was being slightly facetious with my comparison.
> Both have been willing to break the law in the name of their political ideology.
Aaron Swartz did not commit any crimes. Pretty sure that's what the parent commenter was getting at.

The historic reality begs to differ: Sweden covers large parts of the traditional homelands of non-Swedish people. Current reality differs as well, obviously. No matter how you twist it and turn it, the argument can only make sense for a hypothetical, geographically smaller Sweden that does not exist.
> Sweden covers large parts of the traditional homelands of non-Swedish people.
How does this lead to the conclusion that Swedish ethno-nationalism is bad?

Do you consider using your inherited wealth to bankroll white nationalist political candidates also part of the "true hacker spirit". Carl may have been part of TPB for a small part of his life, but his true life long passion and calling was always first and foremost to be a dedicated and passionate white nationalist.

I have to admit I have little knowledge of Swedish politics, but I read he was part of Bevara Sverige Svenskt, which went around with slogans such as "don't let your daughter become a negro toy" and "negros threaten their victims". That's just dehumanising racist nonsense.
If you want to talk about Swedish culture then sure and critique various forms of multiculturalism, then sure, that's fine. But by focusing on skin colour "white nationalism" is fundamentally racist.

#86So many tragic plane incidents lately. Is there any reason for this increased occurence, or is it actually within normal margins?
So far this year there's about the same number of General Aviation crashes you'd expect they're making the news more because there's more eyes on the situation because of the major commercial aviation crashes (which are decidedly not normal).
General Aviation is quite a bit less safe than commercial aviation for a lot of reasons; fewer engines means more risk of failure, lack of maintenance due to cost or understanding, pilots are less well trained (generally speaking of course), GA often flies at lower altitudes giving less time for recovery, etc.
You can scroll back through the FAA's release archive for a look at just how many incidents happen that never make the wider news you've likely never heard of unless you live in the area it happened (and maybe not even then given the state of local news).

#89We just lost another Aaron Swartz. Without Carl, there would have been no https://prq.se/ . Without Pauraque, there would be no WikiLeaks, Pirate Bay and a host of other big things that fundamentally shaped the world. Shit, governments were toppled.
> We just lost another Aaron Swartz. There is a world of difference between Aaron Swartz and Carl Lindström, starting with their political ideologies (which in Aaron's case was inseparable from his life's work) and extending through the way they executed on them and their degree of involvement in the causes for which they are the most known. I don't think Aaron Swartz would be happy to hear this comparison if he were…
Carl Lindström's political ideology was also inseparable from his life's work.

I made no claim about him one way or the other in this regard.
That said, if you're going to make the claim that his political ideology was inseparable from his work (in direct contrast to most of the other comments here which say they should be kept separate), then it's worth spelling out why people would celebrating the work of a man with a documented career of being a prominent member of neo-Nazi parties, spanning over 40 years.
