Today, Mullvad and their fascist co-owner Daniel Berntsson each published an excuse essay. Excuses for why supporting fascists is okay. I wrote about how they failed, with receipts for how their sorry-not-sorry essays align with Nazi Germany. https://markwrites.io/mullvad-and-daniel-berntssons-failed-cleanup/ #Mullvad #DanielBerntsson #Fascism #Nazis #ZeroTolerance

  • @markwyner@mas.to To be fair, I'd consider all companies to use and support fascism in various ways for their justification of hitting it 'rich' by enabling technofeudalism. Companies who do NOT have fascist/technofeudalist aspirations are the rarity.

    @markwyner@mas.to this is a disgusting episode and it causes me to wonder how anyone ever accepted the idea that "I'm not racist even though I fund multiple racist organizations" was ever valid

  • @markwyner@mas.to The problem is Nazism not some product, as all other products you use there is one or more co owners that fund Nazi's.

  • @markwyner@mas.to Thank you for having the will, courage and tenacity to read through what I am guessing is a word salad of weak excuses and absurd attempts at rationalizations, because I am sure if I read through it, I would likely be left feeling so angry I would probably want to throw something. This is not a complex topic. It is quite simple to understand. There are no legitimate excuses for cozing up with fascists. simple, eh.

    @markwyner@mas.to I'm not a heavy VPN user to have researched, what have you personally found as a good alternative, if any? what's the word on the VPN street what are the kids saying they use now, hopefully FOSS

    @markwyner@mas.to At this point, Mullvad can really only purify itself by having both essays' authors resign.
