If you’re the target of the neo-nazis, or you have enough empathy to care about people who are their target, of course it matters. Wtf are you on?

500k USD is a lot of money. My entire savings only equates to around ~1% of that, and I’ve never spent more than 1% of that in a single purchase. I’m not sure how much greed it takes for someone to have enough money to comfortably spend hundreds of times more than what most people have on a single political donation, but he spent it on Nazis too. Fucking piece of scum

Reading the comments, because I was corrius about what was happening. Sounds like one of the developers donated to a Nazi organization, which reminds me of the statement “you are at a club, resterant, party, or whatever sitting at a table with some friends and a Nazi sits down even if you and your friends are not nazis you are now sitting at the nazi table.” Does not matter if one of their developers is a nazi or if all of their developers are nazis they are still the nazi app.

Me da risa la hipocresía de la gente en general. Se sienten ofendidos porque un desarrollador tiene su postura política firme de ultraderecha. Si hubiera sido uno de su preferencia estarian alabando y promocionando el navegador.

Son una bola de borregas en donde solo su postura es valida y no la de los demas.

ehh, I don’t care about politics, I care about performance and features. Mullvad lacks port forwarding, and the speed was always inconsistent for me.

Switched to windscribe, it’s been solid so far.

Politics are in everything everywhere. You can’t excape it. Every decision you make has an effect. You can try to downplay it, but everything ultimately matters in ways you’re unlikely to completely comprehend. It’s best to assume everything you do, big and small, has some effect on the world and it matters.

I fart, a small amount of methane escapes into the atmosphere and that accumulates with all the other methane and eventually contributes to the climate crisis that asphyxiates some phytoplankton that contributes to producing the 98% of the oxygen on Earth, and that ultimately asphyxiates my niece in the future. Her genetic line dies and her progeny might have been the scientist that ultimately figured out time travel, breaking time space continuum into a traversable space, irreversibly changing the course of all of history, not to mention human history.

All because I didn’t hold in my fart, this never happens, and time traversal is never discovered, and all life ultimately dies with the heat death of the universe, instead of living immortally in an ever expanding loop of time/space across all of eternity.

Now extrapolate how important it is when you actually do something intentional. Politics are inevitable, it fucking matters. You can’t choose not to be a part of it. So fucking try and at least be intentional about it.

Ugh, I feel like this might be a controversial take and it’s been on my mind lately. How I see it is kinda how you see it too. I don’t mind that he donated money to whatever party he likes or supports. However, it got me thinking as well, I should not be paying for a service that potentially might fund his actions and donations in the future, if he chooses to, with money that I am paying for.

With that being said, I support their overall mission to uncensor the internet and give privacy to the people while being free, but I don’t want to spend $5/mo if it goes to something I don’t support. I’ll stop using the browser too and move on to something else as there’s a wide variety/alternatives to it.

(P.S. I was already thinking of going to MullvadVPN bc it’s the most cheaper option, but I decided against it and would go for Obscura for $3 more after my other VPN subscription expires.)
