1·5 days agoWell you can check the comments, and their mastodon page. It works.
The second aspect is that they want to hurt Mullvad as a deterent for other to donate to ÖP, I think that is why they go extra hard on mastodon and lemmy. Because a lot of people who would be interested in Mullvads products would be here.

12·5 days agoYes soo the article you sent now has more info, and more to grab at. I don’t know why fria tider made him sound way more harsh that he actually is in the interview. But if you check the clip they have linked he is clearly talking about people who does not want to be part of Swedish society and/or criminals. I do not feel that it is a fascist view to want to throw out non-citizens that commit crimes.
In many if not all countries in Europe this has been standard since like, forever. There is no logical reason why you should keep criminals within your borders.

12·5 days agoSo people are mostly driven of “what is popular”, so if you spam the article and astroturf them. You give the illusion that it is a big problem that a lot of people care about. And that leads to people taking it more seriously.
So the end here is to make people who would leave the left-party (Vänsterpartiet) to vote for ÖP, feel alienated. “Oh my god, I can’t vote for a far right party! I better vote for the ‘only’ left party that is left.” is the thought they want them to have.

12·5 days agoYou are of course free to do what you want with your money! :)
Nationalism is about believing and wanting the concepts of nations/borders. And with that the analysis of the ethnicities within or outside those borders (by ethnicity I mean cultural not race), and that a nation should be a collection of people that work together to make that nation better. So blaming apartheid and genocide, is like blaming a hammer because it can be used to kill someone.

24·5 days agoNationalism is a big part of leftist parties also, fascists does not have claim on that within itself.
Also as I have written in previous posts what ÖP is calling for is already part of the government today, and in a Swedish context means that migrants are given help if they VOLUNTARILY wants to leave.

Yes I checked the English wikipedia page, however the Swedish one makes no claims that ÖP would like to close the borders to migration. So I would urge to either check the parties own website about what they want or do a quick search. Clearly some bad actors have edited the page to put some views they have not voiced there.
The only source I find that says that “closed borders” are something they want, is flamman.se (what a suprise /s).

14·5 days agoYes of course, it is to me just clear that it is not about Mullvad. The post are about ÖP.

31·5 days agoYes, but this is super dangerous. I have seen young boys in my politcal party (liberal conservative) basically stand guard for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_clubs because “well the left calls everything nazi, including us. So these guys probably wants the same as us. And we on the right needs to stand together.”
Ironically rhetoric like this is in fact normalizing the word nazi, and has more become a word to describe a group that the left doesn’t like. Rather than a fascist leaning party.

36·5 days agoBecause (at least on lemmy) they spam articles about this, and treat it like some “gotcha” moment that would make the company no longer able to fulfill their purpose.
One of the owners investing in a political party should not be this big of a deal, and the articles provided are clearly made to put suspicion on not only Mullvad but also on ÖP.
The campaign is actually more about positioning ÖP as some sort of “far-right”-party by the now left, because they are afraid to lose votes to them. They also of course wants to make it “shameable” for people to donate to this party so they cannot possibly win some votes this election.

12·5 days agoThe party is “pushing” for something that is already law. Re-migration, at least in a Swedish context, aims to let people VOLUNTARILY return to their home country but with the intensive to get some cash to start up their new lifes there.

53·5 days agoGiving tax money so politicans can market themselves needs to stop. We all here understand how crowdfunding works, it would work just as well with political parties.
The funding they receive from their own members should be enough.







THe party leader has expressed these views FORMALLY as well. And no it is not racist to want to throw out non-citizens that do crime.
