The IT company Mullvad’s founder Daniel Berntsson is behind a giant donation to the populist Örebro Party, which advocates “comprehensive re-immigration” from Sweden. “It’s sad that it’s needed,” he told Flamman.

I read iVPN is a good alternative to Mullvad

What the fuck did I just see?? Mullvad after Proton.. So sad.. :(

Proton didn't actually do anything like this, they agreed to an affiliate partnership with a youtuber without knowing the political context of his French-language videos, and then ended the partnership when they got complaints. I don't think that's the same.

What's up with every VPN company being facist right wing fucks?!

I'm white. Irish decent really which to a lot of whites isn't quite white. I don't fear brown folk but these 'pure' inbreds fear it on some level that has nothing to do with reality.

Thanks guys for posting this and for suggesting alternatives. I'll look into airvpn I guess. Fuck anyone who wants to make society worse by giving into their worst character traits and base instincts.

Shit, not everyday you see your hometown on Lemmy of all places. I know Allard from my syndicalist youth days, him beeing head of the local leftpartys youth wing. This party is more of a local populist left party. AMAA i guess.

He must have entered that milieu after my time, even though we're roughly the same age.

What's up with his style of communication? Feels like he's writing while drunk. I find it a bit strange that you can get into town hall even with that kind of posture, but I suppose some people find it edgy.

What's your thoughts and the general opinion of this party? It seems to have been called left and right wing.

I did see reports that Allard allegedly called Somalian immigrants parasites and wants mass remigration.

His views on immigration seem bad, but I'm wary of this being media sensationalism to ruin the reputation of mullvad because they don't want people using VPNs.
