Shit, not everyday you see your hometown on Lemmy of all places. I know Allard from my syndicalist youth days, him beeing head of the local leftpartys youth wing. This party is more of a local populist left party. AMAA i guess.

What's your thoughts and the general opinion of this party? It seems to have been called left and right wing.

I did see reports that Allard allegedly called Somalian immigrants parasites and wants mass remigration.

His views on immigration seem bad, but I'm wary of this being media sensationalism to ruin the reputation of mullvad because they don't want people using VPNs.

He must have entered that milieu after my time, even though we're roughly the same age.

What's up with his style of communication? Feels like he's writing while drunk. I find it a bit strange that you can get into town hall even with that kind of posture, but I suppose some people find it edgy.
