What VPN have you switched to after the Mullvad situation. I have looked at nym and ivpn. But don’t know if they are any good.

    I used a hypothetical, denoted by using quotations. I never called anyone specifically a fascist supporter. You made that final jump.

    But, since you asked about it, let’s look at brass tacks. What, by definition, constitutes fascism?

    Merriam Webster

    often Fascism : a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition

    At the core of fascism is loyalty to tribe, ethnic identity, religion, tradition, or, in a word, nation. —Jason Stanley

    Just to make sure we’re not looking at a singular definition, let’s look at Wikipedia too

    Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement that rose to prominence in early-20th-century Europe.[1][2][3] Fascism is characterized by support for a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[3][4] Opposed to communism, democracy, liberalism, pluralism, and socialism,[5][6] fascism is at the far-right of the traditional left–right spectrum.[1][6][7]

    And now, let’s look at what the Örebro party’s own stated platform, which recieved 72% of its funding from the Mullvad founder, which also amounted to 10 times their total funding in 2024:

    Some of its key issues include strong secularism, a 30-hour workweek with retained pay, lowered wages for politicians, ending taxes on energy and fuel, ending taxpayer funding of what it sees as wasteful sculptures, monuments and art, large-scale remigration, expanded social housing, a stricter assimilation policy, and free dental care.[3][4]

    And what’s remigration?

    Remigration is a far-right concept referring to the ethnic cleansing[1] via mass deportation of non-white minority populations, especially immigrants and sometimes including native-born citizens, to their place of racial ancestry.[2][3]

    So fascism is about racial and national purity and hierarchy, as we defined, and the Orebro party supports remigration, which is a concept of forcing immigrants out of countries to preserve the purity of “culture” and the race of the nation.

    But yeah, keep eating that burger my guy. I’m the extreme one. I bolded the throughlines to make it easier for you to connect the dots.

        I know you gave up. You said you don’t care where a product/service comes from or who makes it, even if they support genocide and ethnic cleansing.

        And then a couple sentences, even with bolded main points, having you read 20-30 words is too scary.

        Yes, I know you’ve given up and are slinking away like a coward when confronted with evidence.

        I wish you luck on realizing why people would shun you for “moderate” opinions of supporting genocidaires.
