First they came for the yada yada yada...

I really wish that before deploying a tactic like this against their political enemies folks would stop and consider what the world would be like if the shoe was on the other foot and their political enemies were deploying it against them.

But a seriously large number of people seem to have an attitude that "It's okay, we can do this, we're the good guys".

I must agree with you; but the list itself got so much exposure in the German media already, that it'd be pointless debating this collection in GoogleMaps.

In general, it's kind of a difficult topic. I agree, that votes cast should always be private. But I'm partial on donations. A scenario in which supporters of an illegal party would be prosecuted by an oppressive state is quite different from simply making it known exactly who supports a legal party in any kind of state. As long as there is no consequence whatsoever for the donors themselves, I believe that open donations can make the political game more public, and less secretive.

Wasn't there a similar discussion in America about concealing names of donors in presidential elections? I can't remember anymore, must've been around the time Obama came to power.

There's no doubt that this is illegal. It's hard not to derive a little pleasure, though, when such illegal nastiness happens to the bad guys.

Do be aware that the NPD isn't just guilty of holding unpopular views. The NPD frequently organises aggressively provocative rallies that generally lead to predicted violence, with the police reporting between 500 and 1,000 violent crimes most years that are rooted in right extremism - beating up immigrants, people who dress "wrong", &c.
