I’m not defending this shit by any means but I am partly conflicted.
It’s fine to talk with your money and take it elsewhere. However, I wonder what the CEOs and staff of other VPNs spend their money on and how far this goes.
Say this Mullvad dude donated 10% of his income to the campaign. If your local vape store guy, McDonalds owner or whoever gave 10% of theor income to man-o-sphere influencers or right wing parties (as is probably common) would people be as outraged and walk? Or is it lower stakes and doesn’t matter?
I guess ultimately, as a root issue, people shouldn’t able to make and hord wealth like this, nor fund politicians.
Again not defending this but it’s just made me think about some things.
Lower stakes probably would have deescalated things a bit, i think. In this case the guy in question funds 80-90% of the political party in question which makes this whole thing feel even worse.
