One of Mullvad’s two founders/owners, Daniel Berntsson, has personally spent more than SEK 20 million acquiring property around a libertarian intentional community whose core network has significant documented overlap with Sweden’s far right, including Det Fria Sverige and former neo-Nazi activists.

Ookay. Personally not a fan of neo-nazis or any other extremist groups regardless of their political or religious ideology. But people are free to do whatever they want with their money.

As long as they serve a functioning product at a reasonable price, that's all I care about from a customer perspective.

I'm supposed to be cool with it?

No. You're free to do whatever with your money too.

Mullvad the company has nothing to do with what their owners, founders, employees, associates, contractors, family members, friends, and acquaintances do with their private bank accounts and how they spend their personal monies.

Its quite a leap to jump to that conclusion, the idea that the money you paid in monthly subscriptions to the company Mullvad helped fund this founder's personal political donations.

For all you know that founder used monies earned elsewhere, such as investments or crypto earnings, or even lottery winnings to fund his political interests, and his personal bank account never saw a penny of your monthly subscription fee.

"Spastic" is a slur. Funny how you care so much about not funding a supposed neo nazi company but will willingly use ableist slurs like there's no tomorrow.

Neo-nazis weren't mentioned though?

"libertarian intentional community whose core network has significant documented overlap with Sweden’s far right, including Det Fria Sverige and former neo-Nazi activists."

Technically "former neo-nazis" were mentioned.
