FN & Second Life

This is both scary and reassuring; the Front National (far right nationalist French political party) has opened a second life headquarters late in 2006. Thankfully the protests weren’t that long in coming and there is a lot of activism against the FN presence in SL. This is the reassuring bit I think, lots of people and not only French ones, protesting together against fascism and intolerance. The FN behaviour is actually quite ironic: this is a very nationalist party and they are opening an office in a global environment where people are doing business, having fun… no matter what their nationality is!

You can read more about it here and here.

Anyway to finish on a lighter note: check out this site and get a first life first!
