One of the two Mullvad founders and shareholders provides 70% of a Swedish far-right political party's funding.

Ah, thank you for this.

Someone flagged you, so I vouched.


Unfortunately most of the discussion on that thread is Americans arguing about what right and left are. I personally don't care whether Americans think that party is right wing or left wing, but I find their rhetoric about migrants utterly abhorrent.

Oh cool, now this thread is Americans arguing about left and right instead of focusing on a man saying he'll walk over migrant corpses. Fucking pathetic.

> far-right political party's funding.

From the wikipedia article on the Örebro Party:

"Some key issues for the Örebro Party locally include strong secularism, a 30-hour workweek with retained pay, lowered wages for politicians, expanded social housing, abolishing preschool-fees, making public transport free of charge, ending taxpayer funding of what it sees as wasteful sculptures, monuments and art and introducing free dental care. Nationally the party has set out large-scale remigration, closing the Swedish borders to immigration, a stricter assimilation policy and ending taxes on energy and fuel as some of its key issues."

And the party leader has described himself as a Communist and Marxist.

What makes them far-right?

The part about ending immigration and deporting a large percentage of the migrants who are already there

> What makes them far-right?

Europe's Overton window being about a football field away from sanity.
