These pop up controversies are interesting (and usually fleeting?).

If we were to examine every place we put our money, we would probably find that some of it ends up contributing to nasty shit.

Buy cheap clothes in a Penneys or US equivalent: sweatshops.

Buy food in large food retailers: exploitation of small farmers and food producers.

Buy painkillers: "Oxy is good for you, we promise..." ---> lots of dead people.

Pay for Mullvad: funding dodgy parties...and so on.

The only way to truly avoid this is to live in a cave and never use money again! Or self host, all the things.

The party isn’t properly alt right in any way that an anglosphere dweller would recognize.

It’s not a bad sign for the company in any way. Remember that mullvad was the vpn of choice for pedophiles distributing csam until it wasn’t.

Mullvads recent statement is also extremely carefully worded to avoid taking what the state would call a political stance. While we may recognize that not condemning the donor is political, what the state considers political is support or detraction from some party or of some speech. If mullvad were to make such a political statement it could be subject to a whole different kind of law.
