    The core issue is that this guy’s money comes from mullvad customers, and he’s donating that money to a far right political party.

    If mullvad didn’t have any customers that political party wouldn’t have any money.

      The person who donated is rich from investments in multiple companies. Mullvad not existing would likely not have changed this set of events.

          I couldn’t tell you with any certainty.

          But if you’re thinking that he got rich off mullvad then made a bunch of more lucrative investments which formed the income basis for his donation to the totally normal Swedish centrist party and therefore discontinuing mullvad use would be a good choice that’s a pretty flawed route to go down.

            why am I not surprised that a ml user would try to “center wash” a party that’s supported by national conservatives (aka white christofascists).

              It’s a party that split from left party and that I see as quite fascist. The easiest way to describe that to a possibly not quite as informed reader is to use center as a pejorative. It’s also an opportunity to use center as a pejorative which we should always take.

              Care to elaborate on where you were going trying to trace the fortunes of the donor though? Was I correct in my assumption that you were laying the groundwork to state that all mullvad payments led to this donation?

      The first part of your comment clearly appears to be true, but the 2nd can’t be insinuated in my opinion.

        Its a tiny party who’s total donations are a fraction more than the amount contributed by mullvad guy.

        Its irrelevant anyway. I don’t want my money to support that party.
