Companies funding far-left parties seem to be much bigger problem.

Which companies fund Deutsche Wohnen Enteignen? Let me know so I can boycott them

Steven Schuurman (Elastic) has given millions to left parties in Germany and The Netherlands.

I don't see how, given their answers to simple questions as described in the "2026 run up to the elections" section, this party could ever be considered a leftist party.

They are very pro education. But that's basically the only thing, all the other answers are enthusiastic right wing answers

How populist party can root for education? Educated people wouldn't go in populist direction. Of course, it the education stays unbent to their views

There are some things that I won't ever defend your right of saying them, to be honest.

But does this swedish Party say any things like that?

Yes. They want to get rid of immigrants for example.

I understand Mullvad has historically been a leader in privacy among the big VPN options. What are some other equally affordable and user friendly options that you all have been satisfied with? Think for someone who saw Mullvad advertised during the Super Bowl but looking to leave because of this news.

Is it so hard to imagine that someone willing to take such a principled stance on privacy that they start a company to provide a privacy focused vpn company that they also hold other extreme views?

It takes a certain kind of personality to become a founder especially more do for such a strongly principled company and adhere to it.
