>I don’t know why either. When I found out that the Chaos Computer Club in Hamburg is kind of the center of this global hacker-encryption culture, I was surprised.

>There is a strong undercurrent of right-wing movements in Germany, right?

This is a bullshit insinuation. The Chaos Computer Club was founded by leftists in Berlin and they have consistently criticized projects of the CDU, Germany's largest right wing party. They tend to be much more left wing libertarian than right wing libertarian and they are very far from being conservative in any way.

second that, there is and always has been a strong attitude against all forms of discrimination and right-wing movements in the ccc - see the unvereinbarkeitserklaerung [1] from 2005 for example. you can argue, that the reaction of the ccc in some cases of community-members acting against this spirit came too late, but not by making disguided accusations when you have no idea what you're talking about (like levine did in that interview)
