RIP. He might have only been a backer but he helped pave the way for P2P torrenting getting mainstream attention and eternally pissing off the content mafia in true hacker spirit.
So many tragic plane incidents lately. Is there any reason for this increased occurence, or is it actually within normal margins?

I think Carl was more of an early supporter and provided vital services without which TPB might not exist but I'm not sure if he should be considered a co-founder (or is considered so by the other three).
We just lost another Aaron Swartz. Without Carl, there would have been no https://prq.se/ . Without Pauraque, there would be no WikiLeaks, Pirate Bay and a host of other big things that fundamentally shaped the world. Shit, governments were toppled.

There is a world of difference between Aaron Swartz and Carl Lindström, starting with their political ideologies (which in Aaron's case was inseparable from his life's work) and extending through the way they executed on them and their degree of involvement in the causes for which they are the most known.
I don't think Aaron Swartz would be happy to hear this comparison if he were alive today.

Do you consider using your inherited wealth to bankroll white nationalist political candidates also part of the "true hacker spirit". Carl may have been part of TPB for a small part of his life, but his true life long passion and calling was always first and foremost to be a dedicated and passionate white nationalist.

Do you think Carl's life long political activism outside of hosting TPB should be taken into account when deciding whether to compare him Aaron Swartz or not? Or do you think that his actions with TPB where so noble and important that it outweighs anything else he might have done before and after?

I would say he wasn't just a backer. There's not a lot of people willing to back sites like this, and even if they were, they're unlikely to meet one another. It's possible TPB wouldn't even happen without him.
