The IT company Mullvad’s founder Daniel Berntsson is behind a giant donation to the populist Örebro Party, which advocates “comprehensive re-immigration” from Sweden. “It’s sad that it’s needed,” he told Flamman.

I’m surprised that Sweden allows individuals to donate that much. Million dollar contributions from a single person should not be legal anywhere.
What’s up with every VPN company being facist right wing fucks?!
The wiki for the Örebro Party actually describes it as not identifiable as left or right and the founder was actually far left. It also advocates for things like free dental care and anti-corruption. So things aren’t as simple as purely anti-immigration which is very populist in Sweden.
The initiative to found the Örebro Party was taken in early 2014 by Markus Allard, who is also the first party leader. Allard had previously held positions as substitute member of the Örebro municipal council and district chairman of the Young Left in Örebro; in December 2013 he was expelled from the Left Party and its youth wing Young Left for “liking” the Revolutionary Front, a militant revolutionary socialist and anti-fascist organization, on Facebook and refusing to disavow it when questioned.
Regarding alternatives, I remember for a little while NymVPN was considered a hot item and then suddenly crickets. Did something happen to make folks disinterested in them? I do think they’re pretty heavily involved in cryptocurrencies, but I could be misremembering.
God bloody dammit. I genuinely LOVE Mullvad and have tried to use their (not so cheap) services. I feel in this economy, privacy comes at a price and I was happy to do this.
Now, I realise my money is going to fund a POS far-right asshole.
Proton supports Trump.
Mullvad suports the far right.
Is there any major privacy respective service provider that isn’t a bloody cunt?
also thought mullvad was legit. also want to know if there’s any alternative
I’ve semi-seriously been thinking about bootstrapping a VPN service just to have one “not an asshole” service (and that’s setting the bar low - I’m definitely an asshole, just not that kind of asshole). But I’m also a US citizen living in the US, so not the best choice for the job either.
JAVS - just another VPN service, let’s fucking go.
Proton VPN have had one of their chefs praising donald trump, but that’s the worst I have heard about them. Swiss based (they have among the most protective privacy laws out there), email servers are deep down in the mountains (I don’t know about the VON ones), no logs (for what I remember, maybe short lived ones?), made by the dudes at CERN.
So compared to others quite flawless IMO.
Only technical problem I have had is the VPN switches port from time to time and you have to rebind the network interface of your favourite torrent if you’re running a tight ship. I have found no simple way of detecting when it happens.
If you’re using qbt and gluetun https://gitlab.com/jopiermeier/gluetun-qbittorrent-port-manager
Interesting!
So it pings some entity and they send back your external port? I speed read the code (but I’m on mobile) and that’s what it looks like. Any information greatly appreciated.
Gluetun itself already knows the forwarded port via NAT-PMP, this program just gets it from gluetun and assigns it in qbt via the qbt api and if it returns a 200 response it considers it confirmed, here’s an example log:
waiting for qBittorrent WebUI…
qBittorrent WebUI is ready (authenticated).
port file did not contain an integer: /tmp/gluetun/forwarded_port
port file did not contain an integer: /tmp/gluetun/forwarded_port
gluetun provided forwarded port: 36884
syncing port 36884 to qBittorrent…
successfully updated qBittorrent to port 36884 (confirmed)
port file did not contain an integer: /tmp/gluetun/forwarded_port
port file did not contain an integer: /tmp/gluetun/forwarded_port
gluetun provided forwarded port: 39293
syncing port 39293 to qBittorrent…
successfully updated qBittorrent to port 39293 (confirmed)
Where is the Gluetun server running? I mean if you run it yourself you have to like forward all ports to it?
Thanks for the writeup!
So gluetun is for docker networks and lets you isolate traffic to/from other docker containers into a VPN, you run it and qbt inside docker containers with gluetun configured to your vpn, then qbt configured to route all its traffic through it.
Edit: I didn’t have to port forward at all on my network for this to access it locally (I run it on a separate computer), because all the “outside” traffic in qbt is going through the vpn that has a forwarded port seeders/leachers can connect (which is dynamically updated as it changes with the aforementioned qbt port manager)
For example (truncated docker compose just the part related to above): services: qbittorrent-vpn: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest container_name: qbittorrent-vpn depends_on: gluetun: condition: service_started restart: true restart: unless-stopped network_mode: “service:gluetun”

If you build it, they will come
I’ve been using IVPN.
I originally stopped using IVPN because of slow speeds. Has that improved?
Hey,
No.
Are you able to get through geo-restrictions on streaming services with IVPN? They have fewer servers than Mullvad it seems. Like for Singapore, they have 2, Mullvad has 5. In Japan, they have 1, while Mullvad has 9.
Number of servers is less relevant than users per server.
Mullvad is a much bigger company so I’d expect them to need more servers.
It is, when you want to evade geo-restrictions. More servers spread over different IP blocks means there’s more chances the streaming services aren’t aware of some of those IPs yet, so they aren’t blocking them yet.
I’ll preface this by saying I used to work in the industry.
The restriction evading isn’t really related to the number of servers. VPN companies for streaming block evasions buy IP addresses that aren’t data centre specific. Those ranges are well known and easily blocked. So for example when you browse you’ll generally use a “standard” IP but while connected to the same endpoint if you fire up a netflix session it’ll route that traffic out the “streaming” IP. This is also partly to try to prevent steaming companies from getting easy access to a list of those IPs
It’s quite expensive to get IPs that aren’t blocked by steaming services so that is a cheaper cost per user for larger companies. Where I was that cost was way more than the cost of any individual server per month (and some of those servers were hefty). That is one way that Mullvad would have an edge but it’s minor.
For what it’s worth I did have a call with the iVPN lads (twice I think) and found them lovely. Never interacted with Mullvad but I will never give them money after reading this. Weirdly I’m in the market for a new subscription and they would have been my go to. Their fiver a month thing is really very smart.
Edit: for geo blocks on standard browsing it would generally present to us as a support ticket. We’d raise it with engineering and they’d assign a new outgoing IP with whoever our provider was. We used M247 a lot and they were very responsive when that happened. Usually a few hours and it was sorted.
Thanks for the info, I learned something new. So if for example I run my tv through my VPN and I’m watching youtube. When I switch to the netflix app, the VPN service determines that I’m trying to hit a netflix IP, so it routes it out to an outgoing IP specifically for netflix geo-blocking evasion that is separate from what youtube was using?
Its been a couple of years but I didn’t have much luck with IVPN and mlb.tv but that was really the only one I tried at the time.
safing
Fuck me, this is gonna ruin mullvad, I hope. Never saw it coming though, wtf?
Can we stop with the “proton” supports trump. This has been echoing since the tweet. I understand the initial recoil, I had it myself, but proton as an entity very clearly does not support trump.
By that logic, Mullvad is fine too, because the entity doesn’t support the far right. You are just sending your money to the company which pays the people that do… so…
I mean I’m okay expanding that logic here as well for consistency. This is all on a spectrum, one of Mullvad’s top employees donates millions to far right politician is on the more extreme end of that spectrum than a tweet that failed to read the room.
Taking your counterpoint even further, if you found out some low level employees at any company used a portion of their paycheck to support far right politics would you boycott? Obviously not, which should show you that you don’t believe this should be a binary decision.
To be clear, I feel mullvad crossed the line here, my point was that the proton hate doesn’t compare and is overblown.
Proton itself sponsored a fascist influencer in france like just a couple weeks ago… You can pretend that having a MAGA CEO doesn’t have anything to do with that, and that they would have stopped the sponsorship and caught their “mistake” without significant public backlash if you like, but the dots are connecting to a lot of us watching.
Also, nice strawman, but are they paying the low level employee enough to donate literally millions of dollars? Probably not. Does that low level employee have direct influence over the company? Probably not.
The idea that you stop using Mullvad because the founder personally made a donation to right-wing extremists, but you are fine with using Proton that sponsors fascists and has a CEO that platforms far-right extremists talking points is bonkers. The claim that you are separating “the entity” from the “people” doesn’t even hold water.
That was a sponsorship link anyone was able to use.
They them immediately denounced the fascist and are changing how sponsorship links work.
Vs
Literal founder of company donates millions to literal neo-nazis, doubles down on supporting them
I thought it wasn’t an actual sponsorship, just a referral link system anyone could sign up for and promote.
You’re right. But for some reason, Lemmy has a hate boner for Proton
People just easily believe whatever sounds close enough because everything is awful. I hate these far right fuck heads but honestly the witch hunts for literally everything are just exhausting. I can’t spend my whole life boycotting fucking everything. I just don’t have the fucking energy.
Exactly correct… And their apology sounded genuine and they took ownership.
OP talking about strawman in my post, yet uses a prime example in theirs.
They don’t have a MAGA CEO. That was reddit doing its thing and has been debunked since.
Uh no? Show me where proton donated millions of dollars to fascists. Their CEO made an unbelievably stupid statement, and then walked it back, but they have not materially supported actual Nazis.
Proton’s VPN is sketchy anyway and JS crypto isn’t revolutionary… Or even a good idea really. See tuta and torrent freak for alternatives
Really good article, definitely worth reading
the fact that it’s been posted by random account that hasn’t been active in any way before or ever since makes me suspect that it’s just some PR damage control.
Signal was kickstarted by the CIA, so dissidents in regimes they wanted to topple could communicate securely, but at least that seems genuine.
Matrix was an Israeli spy company’s invention.
Telegram is Russian.
Reddit started out as the creation of Aaron Schwartz, but he got demonised and committed suicide. Then it was left to that shit eater spez, who sold his soul to the Epstein crowd making Ghislaine Maxwell a powermod among others, also hosting r/the_donald and bridging Trump’s popularity from 4chan into the mainstream. Now he sells everyone’s data to Google, while still not paying the manufacturers of that data anything.
TrueCrypt got shut down because it was too cool.
Do you have Signal confused with TOR?
No lol but I guess they did it twice?
It was in the news a year or few ago that the CIA was ceasing its funding of Signal.
If that was in the news you’d think I would be able to find an article…
Thus was the first hit I got when searching.
https://www.kitklarenberg.com/p/signal-facing-collapse-after-cia
That article and sources are bollocks. They received donations in the past, from there the claim is that they are entirely compromised. There’s a list of almost a hundred other apps and services, from fdroid to let’s encrypt. Are they also compromised?
Fear mongering and tinfoil
Like I said. It was the first hit I got when searching.
The truth is in between.
The CIA funded Signal to be a truly secure and open source messaging platform for overseas dissidents to use, wherein they could support their efforts, while pursuing US political objectives.
Eventually, people in the US started to use it to evade oppression, and the CIA went “NO!! NOT LIKE THAT!!!”
Regardless, the proven facts of the matter are that the CIA funded Signal.
TrueCrypt got shut down because it was too cool.
VeraCrypt exists
And we should be thankful that. But merely existing isn’t cool.
How is it now cool that VeraCrypt exists?
And Veracrypt?
Matrix does have fundamental design issues you would expect from cellebrite devs…
Simplex, Monero and Whonix are all as cool as veracrypt!
and the SimpleX creator is a far righter, too https://mstdn.social/@rysiek/114630877715286899
You’d think with all the trans programmers out there we would have more tech companies built by leftists…
But I suppose the leftists are the ones building the platforms for a pittance while the generationally wealthy right-wingers are the ones paying people to do all that work…
The ones built by leftists don’t pay as well.
Doesn’t matter as much here. It’s open source and has passed two audits. Look at the code. Use different servers if you want. Reimplement the protocol if you can.
No really, please somone do it in go or rust. I don’t want to learn kotlin 🥲
Man, after his death Aaron Swartz has gone from an early employee of Reddit, to a founder of Reddit to now the creator of Reddit. Give it a few years and he’ll have provided the VC money for it too.
Aaron Swartz is and always was the guy who coded the core functionality of reddit. He was the man who Tim Burners Lee said would lead the charge for the internet into the 21st century.
Instead, the FBI drove him to death.
Spez and that other dude had the idea to make reddit, but Aaron built it for them. Then Randall from XKCD made the “Best” sorting algorithm.
Then Spez shat all over everything for personal gain.
Then you came here to post.
And he had superpowers too, and was about to bring peace to the middle east.
Proton doesn’t support Trump. Their CEO cherished some judge trump put in, and reddit had a field day with it.
It’s made by CERN scientists, so I guess their PR is suboptimal.
Proton doesn’t support Trump. Their CEO cherished some judge trump put in, and reddit had a field day with it.
You seem to be downplaying his support for Trump and the current Republican Party. And if I remember correctly, when the backlash happened, he doubled down on his support.
AirVPN?
Didn’t air have a data mining scandal like nord and others? Cryptostorm is legit though.
Not as far as I’ve heard? Any links?
No. There have been so many over the years, i had to dig for half an hour the last time I tried to find stories on nord
AFAIK AirVPN is run by Italian hacktivist enthusiasts and are not part of the mess with NordVPN and other highly advertised. At least I’ve only heard positive things from nerds as they seem to fly under the radar of the commercial circuit. Like Mullvad did until some years ago when they started running ad campaigns.
Not related to nord whatever I’m remembering was seprate. Maybe they just had a security fuck up or I’m thinking of one of a dosen other data mining VPNs ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, I usually round Robin AirVPN, IVPN, and cryptostorm. Sometimes they leap frog each other in terms of features
I personally use dnsforge.de which is essentially a public Pi Hole with additional configuration choices for strict or porn/gambling blocking. While this one is specifically german, I think there are probably other such services or you could always host your own. (I know you said “major service” but it’s about the concept)
Same here, we’re left with AirVPN at that point.
Mullvad was dead to me when they pussied out and took away port forwarding. That’s how I knew they were compromised
Claiming immigration policy in general is fascist is just an ignorant perversion of the word that lessens its weight.
[Örebro Party leader] Allard has described himself as a Communist, and a Marxist
A self-described communist promoting right-wing ideas? Lemmy is quite familiar with that concept.
How can the national socialist party be right wing? They said they’re socialists!
/s fucking obviously I hope.
"Allard and his party have been described as a nationalist[6], left-wing populist and right-wing populist.[7] He has also been accused of being a communist.[6] Biography
From 2009 to 2013, Allard was chairman of the Young Left’s district organisation in Örebro. He worked for the election campaign of Oumar Mariko in Mali during the 2012 Malian coup d’état.[8][9] "
“In a post from 2012 Allard criticized the state of Israel and wrote that “Cuba is going to be placed under an embargo but the fascist apartheid state of Israel is defended until the last Palestinian child has been incinerated. Liberal politics.”[17] In 2025 he again referenced the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and wrote that he “does not give a shit” about Israel or Palestine and that he thinks it is wrong to kill children regardless of which side perpetuates it.[18]”
“The Örebro Party with Allard as its leader says it wants to cut the salary for politicians and use that money to make dental care free/subsidized by the money taken from the politicians salaries.[25] On the topic of lowering the work hours Allard, in 2026 in the municipal assembly, voted in favor of a proposal by the Left party to enable a 30 hour work week with retained salary for some welfare occupations such as preschool teachers and employees at care facilities as a trial project that would after two years be evaluated.[26]”
Lemmy in shambles lol
Huh what kind of adhd of an ideology is this lmao.
Def sounds like something would come up from up north. Disconnected and thinks they know what’s best for everyone (but themself first before anyone)
I’m sure they’ll find their great place within the eyes of whoever nutjub is going to be put in to the seat after trump.
Fuck this world man. Seriously. Idk what to say or think anymore.
Instead of a concrete ideology, it seems like a handful of unrelated policies strung together. Like he held no opinion on anything until he decided (via ADHD? Unclear) to. But only on very specific things. No broader ideology.
I’m basing that entirely on this comment thread so I don’t really know anything I guess.
A lot of Hungarian far-right parties promoted workplace democracies being the future when they didn’t promote getting rid of democracy.
What the fuck did I just see?? Mullvad after Proton… So sad… :(
As a Swede - fuck that guy and the fucking Neo Nazis coming out of the goddamn woodwork everywhere. I was all-in on Mullvad, but that’s changing today. Anyone got a good recommendation for a DNS over HTTPS alternative that’s not owned by a racist/Nazi/Fascist asshole?
I don’t want to change my VPN based on one article, so I’m getting mentally ready for resrarching, but I’ll ask you first: how very bad is the Örebro Party?
its wild, but not your typical neonazi party read my comment https://feddit.org/comment/13683001
Okay, I suppose nuance is in order here so let’s add some. Örebro partiet used to be hardline leftwing extremist and antifascist, but they explicitly moved away from their political roots distancing themselves from their old ideological convictions under the new party leader.
They have since started explicitly supporting populist and nationalist positions on migration and integration that attract the same kind of latent racist voter base that SD (the much more directly neo Nazi party) rode to fame and election victory.
If I had to classify their overall political identity they’re reminiscent of the NSDAP leading up to their first election victory. They’re in favour of authoritarian rule with both right- and left-wing populist goals such as improved public healthcare and forced remigration or forced assimilation of Muslim immigrants.
Overall your personal mileage may vary, but I’m not okay with my money indirectly supporting a political party that’s contributing to the overall decline of civil discourse and feeding into the hated of migrants and the “us vs them” mindset that’s poisoning society.
[Edit] @[email protected] gave a great breakdown of their migration stance earlier in the thread. I’m just going to say that I’m not okay with ethnic cleansing and leave it at that.
Thank you. To be honest, I’m still not sure what to think. Here in Czechia, this kind of mixture of nice/good system critique and racist usually means the party is populist and won’t be doing the nice stuff once in power. They’ll be doing whatever is good for anyone, who investes in them + the racist stuff, which is also populist and kind of easier then doing good. Is that the case in Sweden too?
Quad9 is great imo
Sadly Quad9 doesn’t have an ad/porn/gambling blocker option.
More for me /s
Wikimedia DNS?
DNS over HTTPS
Is there a reason you use DoH over DoQ, DNSCrypt, or ODoH/Anonymous DNS?
Mostly broader support for devices in my network. I know providers can still read my network traffic’s SNI but for most common use cases it’s better than nothing. And if I really need the anonymity, neither DNScrypt or a VPN will ever beat a layered proxy network like Tor.
Proton VPN?
Or maybe you can configure your OS to use a DNS over https provider in the settings. I use Quad9
Proton’s owner also gives me the ick with his Trump and the Republican Party praising. I’ll look into it further and see if there are any other good options.
[Edit] I learned that CIRA (Canadian domain name registrar) has DNS over HTTPS support so I’ll be reverting to them. Canadian shield does sound pretty good for a non-profit service without tracking: https://www.cira.ca/en/canadian-shield/
See the link by Innerworld below.
A highlight:
And while the tweet praises Trump’s pick for leading antitrust at the DOJ, it is exceedingly clear that he did not directly endorse Trump himself or Republicans in general.
It felt very much like a witch hunt every time Proton was criticised. Almost like other VPNs wanted to tarnish them. But that would be a conspiracy to think I guess.
Now, I don’t know any more, but that one tweet seems to be the only bad thing Proton has done as an organisation, which is a non bad track record IMO.
That’s about outright Trump support, which is not what the comment you replied said he did. They said Trump praising, which is actually kind of what Andy did. I do agree that he is likely just a liberal that didn’t fully read the room when posting to social media, however he did praise Trump in that post for that very specific pick.
Personally, I wouldn’t @ Trump and compliment him for anything, especially not if I was a leader of a large company. There is no need nor a reason to make trump’s ego any bigger than it actually is, not with everything else he’s actively doing to the world. For me, it’s less about him “supporting Trump” and more about his inability to read the room and not see why that would be taken as supporting Trump.
He also did say that the republican party used to be better, which, while true, it’s a low bar and it has been shitty republicans for a long, long time. Reagan was a republican, did the tables turn all the way back then?
thanks
Proton has similar issues with leadership, unfortunately, just not as bad. For DNS, I use locally hosted unbound which retrieves records directly from the root servers. It’s not the same as DoH, though, so if that’s a hard requirement then you’d want something like Quad9.
4 real isn’t it a super socialist party? Lol… I guess I read the wrong articles 😆
Everything I’ve seen is that it used to be super socialist but under new leadership has been moving more and more right and embracing things like removing all brown migrants.
Shit, not everyday you see your hometown on Lemmy of all places. I know Allard from my syndicalist youth days, him beeing head of the local leftpartys youth wing. This party is more of a local populist left party. AMAA i guess.
Thanks guys for posting this and for suggesting alternatives. I’ll look into airvpn I guess. Fuck anyone who wants to make society worse by giving into their worst character traits and base instincts.
The five million from Berntsson make up the majority – as much as 72 percent – of the Örebro Party’s income last year. It is also the largest single private donation to a party in 2025.
The money also seems to have been the triggering factor for the party’s decision to stand in the parliamentary elections.
(machine translation)
Fuck them. Not sure who to go with now. Paying monthly and not needing to remember to cancel were the main reason I used them.
Also, it seems safer to assume that all tech companies are rotten until proven otherwise.
Jesus. Fucking. Christ.
This is fucking disgusting and extremely fucking dangerous. Nazi parties spread like a virus. One day they are completely underground, next time you look they are a major force in the parliament.
Mullvad literally grabbing them from the rock bottom where they belong and bringing them into light is unforgivable.
I’m from Poland and we have a huge problem with these parasite parties. They managed to shift the Overton Window so far into the right that the libertarians are literally on the left and the socdems are the extremely far left.
https://www.vpnscorecard.com/ seems like a good place to check for alternatives although it doesn’t go into the politics of the company mostly. Still, their top scorer https://www.ivpn.net/ seems like a good bet.
That’s a decent link, thanks. Unfortunately Mullvad get a good score there too. As you say, the shady extracurricular stuff is missing.
AirVPN
I do like what I read on their about page. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll dig a bit deeper.
I’m with xeovo until somebody points out why not
IT company Mullvad founder Daniel Berntsson is behind a huge donation to the populist Örebro Party, which advocates “comprehensive remigration” from Sweden. “It’s sad that it’s needed,” he tells Flamman.
Five million kronor. That’s how much money the populist Örebro Party received in 2025 – from a single person. This is shown in the party’s income statement, which Flamman has reviewed.
Behind the giant donation is Daniel Berntsson, founder and co-owner of the internationally successful IT company Mullvad.
“This is a donation from me personally,” he writes in an email to Flamman.
The company has made large profits in recent years through the sale of so-called VPN services, which make it possible to surf anonymously. In 2024, the company had a turnover of 314 million kronor.
The five million from Berntsson constitutes the majority – a full 72 percent – of the Örebro Party’s income last year. It is also the largest single private donation to a party in 2025. ———————————————
That’s the entirety of the article the toot references. No idea what it means.
The main part is the party’s support for so-called “remigration”, which is
ethnic cleansing[1] via mass deportation of non-white minority populations, especially immigrants and sometimes including native-born citizens, to their place of racial ancestry
About the immigration policy of the party:
Markus Allard initiated heavy debate in 2025 by claiming that Sweden is “the land for/belongs to the Swedes” and that the Örebro party favors a large scale remigration policy. He also criticized the Sweden Democrats for, according to him, allowing too many immigrants into the country under their watch as confidence and supply to the Kristersson cabinet.
In 2026 ÖP party leader Markus Allard sparked controversy on several occasions. In a debate hosted by Studio3 with Liberal member of parliament Martin Melin, Allard asked: “why won’t the Liberals push for deporting 100 000 social welfare-Somalis?” and in the same debate said that “Sweden belongs to the Swedes. We have to make sure that we take care of our own damn people and we must deport these damn parasites who sit and live at our expense.” [45]
In a podcast segment about immigration and deportations Allard stated his opinion and said that “They will also be forced to leave, even if they are born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedish.” [46]
About the foreign policy of the party:
In a podcast in May 2026 Allard clarifies some positions that his party holds and among other things made clear that leaving the EU and NATO were on the table for ÖP. Regarding NATO Allard claimed that Sweden cannot trust or rely on NATO and that the country should instead seek to massively increase its weapons production and also become a major arms exporter, arguing it would benefit the Swedish economy.[47][48]
Allard stated his opinion and said that “They will also be forced to leave, even if they are born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedish.”
Lol how is being born somewhere not a natural connection???
Also how far do you go back? What’s the magic number? Cos at some point pretty much everyone’s is an immigrant to their country.
Swedish racists: “Expel everyone who isn’t native.”
Me: “Okay, fine then. Sweden for the Sámi!”
Swedish racists: “Wait, not like that!”
Well, according to the Sweden Democrats, the far right party the government collaborates with and their youtube channel (which they have allegedly cut ties with, but that proved to be a lie a while back) that also gave Allard his own show, had a program worrying about “third generation” immigrants, when talking about who is “great replacement” replacing Swedes.
Thats right, in a program where they were talking about how every single one with two foreign born parents and half (because “that seems fair”, they said in the program) of those with a single foreign born parent are paricipating in a replacement conspiracy, they at the same time worried about the great gap in the statistics that does not keep track on who is third generation immigrants, so the replacement is even greater than that.
How far? If you’ve got a you got a grandpa with a sun tan you might be impure to these fucks. But our government thinks they are fine people.
Edit, oh yeah, the native Sami people and Jews are not Swedish to them either. They have doubled down on this many times.
You’re falling for their rhetoric by asking that question. We all know that they don’t give an actual shit about the technicalities of their racism. If your skin isn’t as white as the driven snow, you are seen as inferior to these fucks.
I’m not. Just pointing out how ridiculous and arbitrary it is.
Maybe it’s only okay if you’re kidnapped by a viking XD
Sounds like you entered the country via a small boat if that was the case. Sorry gotta throw those back.
I just had a surreal vision of Trump sending the whole state of Minnesota to Norway and Sweden.
🤮
