#252The party in question seems to be an anti-immigration strongly secularist left wing party with Marxist roots. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96rebro_Party I am not sure "far right" is an accurate label. Maybe populist? Its a mix that would probably get a lot of support in other European countries.

You're misinterpreting what I said. Being dense, honestly. The start of this thread was primarily people saying they were taking their money elsewhere - and then suggesting Proton, whose CEO was in the hot seat for praising the Republican party. It makes no sense to have such a violent reaction to something like this and not consider that competitors could be similar. The reality is that in general, your money is alw…
Oh so let's just be reductive about the issues that are important to us. Let's just throw our hands up in the air and say "Pobody's nerfect!" BFFR

#254I use Mullvad because it physically prevents anyone from logging my data. What a co-owner does with his personal money in a local Swedish municipal election has zero impact on the code protecting my traffic. Did a quick research - calling a party that campaigns for a 30-hour work week and socialist dental care 'far-right' just because they have a strict immigration policy shows how carelessly people throw labels arou…

Uh, according to Wikipedia this party wants to kick out all the non-native Swedes from the country (aka "remigration"). That's definitely far right.

#256Far right? It's run by a literal marxist communist.
What does he or she want to do with immigrants?

#257I'm Swedish, but never heard of Örebropartiet before. I tried looking into their website and it doesn't say a lot. Translated from Swedish wikipedia: --- Örebropartiet was founded by Markus Allard in the spring of 2014, when he was recently expelled from the Left Party and the Young Left. [...] Among the party's main issues are reduced politicians' salaries, reduced bureaucracy, civil servant responsibility, assimila…
Don't we also get a dopamine release from empathy, or is it just no fun?
Depends on if Atlas Shrugged is your Bible or not.

Re: The CEO of Mullvad is the main financer of the Swedish Örebro party
#259does it change your trust in the company? For some people, the answer is obviously yes. For others, they'll judge Mullvad purely by its track record, audits, and technical design. Honestly, you could say the same about the CEO of ANDURIL in the US - the Oculus guy...but he just cares about the US and wants to make money by making weapon systems etc. Is he a bad person? Is he a patriot? Who knows, I ain't gonna play t…
Look at Zuck and Musk. Their platforms are still used by millions. It's only "us" that care about the pedigree of our tech founders, most people couldn't care less.
I commend your correct use of “couldn’t care less”. It’s so rare to see people get this one right these days.

They're known to run everything in RAM, nothing gets stored. You pull the plug and everything is gone.
Of course, you have to trust the company on that.
