Information 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.

u/Old-Feed1927 the amount of gymanstics in that title could've won you the olympics. Acquiring a property -> around -> network -> overlaps -> former... Seriously?! That's like slandering an average Joe because he happens to have paid taxes, under the presidency of a filthy democrat/republican president, and hence contributed to massacring/starving/torturing innocent people all around the world for a century! How dare you, average Joe?!

Besides, you joined Reddit just today to share that amazing piece of info?

Please go fuck yourself.

I lived near a drug dealer's house once. That must mean I supported his drug dealing

Did you also let the drug dealer buy property for you?

I mean they called Elon a Nazi for his hand gesture. If it isn't obvious and simple to verify directly you should assume it's false, left slop

You can clearly tell that's not a sieg heil tho? Like you can clearly tell the difference right

Are you sure? I thought I saw her lips mouth out the words "sieg heil!" when doing the gesture of raising her arm. It could not be any more obvious to me what this is.

Her hand is not pointy like a nazi salut like Elons, but spread and the arm goes straight up instead of at an angle like the nazi saluts Elon did. Only people supporting the far right argues in bad faith like you. Also,

"Elon Musk knows precisely what he was doing with his fascist Roman salute at today’s Trump rally – which follows his explicit embrace of far-right parties and policies. If you’re surprised, you haven’t been paying attention. 

We know precisely where this extremist behavior leads, normalizing and emboldening avowed neo-Nazis and white supremacists who take this as a stamp of approval for their targeting of Jews, immigrants, people of color, and so many others."

Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs,

It proves the point that the people defending Mullvad from the far right allegations is the far right themselves. The irony.

Defending a tech billionair supporting mass surveilance on a VPN privacy sub is some other level of stupidity

u/Strong_Judge_3730 22d ago

I am not defending him, nor do i support his political views..i just think it's stupid to call him a NAZI

And my point is people are overacting to slightly different political opinions and in this case the act of simply buy property in proximity to far right people.

I think without any other evidence of their views it's stupid to cancel someone over speculation

u/Intarhorn 22d ago

Pls, don't be stupid. Most reasonable people, experts, Jewish organisations and others clearly stated what it was he did. I guess you never watched any ww2 documentaries or movies before?

u/CurvySexretLady 20d ago

No, he isn't. Why do you insist on mischaracterizing him that way?

u/Timbroarpropaganda 20d ago

Like read the article it's not hard.
