We all fund Nazis if we live in modern 1st world nations. It’s time to start blaming ourselves…

Sure, but there’s a difference between existing in society and actively going out of your way to fund projects that are made by hyper-racists (the the omarchy guy)

No no, the whole “no ethical consumption under capitalism” thing means that there’s no moral difference between my tax money funding ICE and directly donating to hateful people. They’re both bad, and there’s no possible way to measure how one thing could be worse than another.

You might be right but it is such a defeatist way to look at it. Maybe 30%-50% goes to taxes and you ha e no control over that. You also need food, a home, and depending where you live a car, so that limits your options. But the rest you have full control over. You can choose not to buy a Tesla, not to subscribe to Mullvad, not to donate to Omarchy. And with the money you save you can buy another car from a brand whose CEO didn’t literally make the Nazi gesture on live TV, subscribe to a VPN that’s not donating to a Nazi party, either directly or through a founder, and instead of investing time and money in a distro founded by a racist, you could use another distro.

It’s only impossible if you say it is. I’m also boycotting US as much as possible due to Greenland and the EU tariffs. It’s even harder because of how connected the economies are, but I still go out of my way to buy Danish soda instead of Pepsi or Coca-Cola, Italian toothpaste instead of Colgate, etc.

You might be right

I was being sarcastic. I really thought the second sentence would be enough to give it away.

There is no sarcasm in text

A “/s” would have been helpful to note the saracasm.

I didn’t pick up that it was sarcastic, personally

It was. An intelligent reader should have had no problem with it.

You are not wrong, but the comment you wrote this to is literally about trying actively not to.

I’ve just seen this.

Do you know any good alternatives?

iVPN looks good

can confirm. is good.

I moved to AirVPN after Mullvad shut down port forwarding and haven’t had any issues. It’s run by privacy activists.

Can second this

ProtonVPN if you can stomach one CEO once praised trumps choice of some anti euh oligopol(?) lawyer.

If you already use Proton Mail, I strongly recommend against using ProtonVPN because you’re coupling yourself too hard to Proton. At least, if your threat model is high risk

What if I just torrent shit occasionally? Am I good? I like proton’s services a lot for the convenience which is a no no on here but I am a lazy fuck.

If you just use VPNs to torrent stuff, then that’s fine. I’m just saying that if your threat model makes you a target to let’s just say the CCP for example, then coupling Proton’s suite with their VPN is a bad idea

I don’t do anything that makes me a target so I’m all right

If I’m going to move away from mullvard because a high up funds populists I’d rather avoid that too.

iVPN is the the best alternative if you want something as powerful as Mullvad. It’s a bit slower though

Tunnel bear

Funny how someone can be just a normal right wing or even center-right and you dumb bitches call everyone a Nazi that doesn’t think exactly like you. Bunch of hive mind idiots lmao.

Anyone that’s considers themselves right wing with the current fascist in power deserves it. If you look at what’s happening now and say “i guess it’s fine I’m still right wing” then yeah the moniker holds.

Don’t condone Nazi shit if you don’t wanna be called a Nazi.

I mean, the account is named Glowie…

Advocating for remigration is unquestionably far right, which the founder has done. Unless you yourself agree with it…

Yeah, this is the part that made me pause when I was reading about this because I’m like, holy shit. That isn’t just right wing, like, that straight Nazi shit. Like, holy shit.

Don’t condone Nazi shit if you don’t wanna be called a Nazi.
