  • The recent rise in the far right in western countries is probably a combination of American influence and the massive growth in immigration. There have always been fascists and neo-nazis in these countries, but they have grown in popularity due to American influence and rising immigration.

    The growth of English as a lingua franca on the internet has created a lot of cultural and political exchange between the US and western countries. The consistent parade of jingoism, fascism, and white supremecy in the US has inspired similar far-right movements in these countries. The US was an apartheid state only 60 years ago, and the civil rights movement ended in political violence, with MLK and Malcolm X being assassinated. That’s not to say American culture is evil or that the world shouldn’t have cultural exchange with the US, but problems that the US has failed to address have spilled over to the rest of the world.

    The spike in immigration, caused by cheap transportation, the Internet, Schengen, and the Arab Spring, has also helped trigger far right thinking in Europe and other western countries.





  • Yeah, like its not like the product is bad, it’s the best product on the market. Ruling out Mullvad here is simply a boycott.

    To be honest, the current government coalition is worse than Örebropartiet. Sverigedemokraterna are nazis too, and they fund disinformation campaigns across the internet and take away internet and IRL privacy. The conservatives’ immigration minister’s son is literally in a brownshirt gang. If you’re going to boycott Mullvad over this, you might as well boycott all of Sweden.
