    They made is pretty clear that they think a broad coalition is necessary to support their cause of privacy.

    These purity politics are nothing but self-aggrandizement. It achieves nothing towards improving the conditions of the working class and if anything it’s actively harmful.

      This isn’t purity politics. This is deciding you don’t like what someone is doing with money so you refuse to give them anymore.

      Also having Nazis in your “privacy coalition” makes about as much sense as a coyote being a guard dog for chickens.

      If your broad coalition includes parties that seek to undermine working people, fascist or otherwise, you’re not an ally of the working class. Stop drinking the koolaid, you simp.

        Yes. Even “broad coalitions” need to have red lines. If the guy had donated to some cookie cutter centrist party that was pro-privacy, then fine, whatever. I wouldn’t have stopped using Mullvad for that.

        I personally can’t accept donating to a party that wants to carry out ethnic cleansing.
