Also context that the 5 million kronor (around €450,000) was roughly 72% of everything the party took in during 2025, and it’s also the largest private donation made to any Swedish political party that year.
Puts it into perspective.
First link I found as I’m lazy (but not lazy enough to not cite) other Lemmy comments/sites will agree.
Despots and the elite always like to brand themselves as democratic, for the people, or whatever. Its the usual propaganda. Can’t have the peasants seeing them for what they really are.
Mullvad but the founder is a fascist so ill change that after my time runs out
I’m not defending Mullvad, but this does lack more context.
What context? Only thing I can think of it was a private donation rather than made by mullvad itself
It was the co-founder, Daniel, that made the donation, the other founder, Fredrik, “did not like that he made this donation”.
Edit: I’ll include a link to Mullvad’s official response to the controversy since it’s relevant.
Fair enough

How many times does it have to be ‘discussed’ though?
lemmy has a search function, 99% of people here already know what happened with mullvad.
Lemmy does have a search function, but is it good?

Threads 5 and 6 are the fairly obvious relevant ones when I searched
I’m not necessarily looking for a new discussion, I just thought it was important to clarify since it reads differently when you have more context.
I doubt those that are unaware would look much deeper into it.
In what way?
As I mentioned in my other comment, there are two founders, one of which does not like the action of the other.
Sure? He self-define anarchist
Elon musk says hes an anarchist but he did a sieg heil in front of millions watching

Looks like a social networks hate campaign to me.
