I couldn't agree more, and the sad state of Pirate Party here in Poland:

...only amplifies that. I mean, when I hear them saying things like "first we 
need to get to the Parliament to be able to do anything", I feel like I'm

Same shit is going on in Germany and Sweden, AFAIK. Pirate Party movement is 
in deep crisis in Europe.

I think it's worth a try.
