disappointing, because alternatives matter too. quad9 and other well known servers are potentially blocked by some countries, so the more lesser known services there are the better.

There is always the option of running your own locally.

This is probably service you can host locally with the lowest maintenance and hardware requirements so it isn't even a hassle to do it yourself.

Mullvad talks a lot about decentralization, then hands its resolver users to one of the biggest resolvers going. Quad9 is a good operator, and they actually fought Sony in German court instead of quietly complying. They still got ordered to block. That's the problem. A blocking order only hurts as much as the resolver it lands on is used, so every operator that shuts down and sends its users to Quad9 makes the next order a better deal for whoever files it.

Their founder supports Nazis.

Pretty unapologetically, too. He's still doing it and will keep doing it the more you give him money.

Translation: one of Mullvad’s two cofounders has donated money to Örebropartiet, a left-leaning Swedish political party that promotes strict and restrictive immigration laws.

And “donated money” here means “his donations amounted to 72% of the party's entire 2025 revenue”[0].

There's no such thing as a left-leaning party that harsh on immigration. Only parties that call themselves left-leaning. You may as well speak of a capitalist party that wants to seize and redistribute the means of production.

"There's no such thing as a left-leaning party that harsh on immigration."

This was probably the most ignorant thing I've read today. You're knowledge of political history must not extend very far.

which shows how thoroughly they've been subverted by their purported enemy. siding with the capital on its quest to drive the wages down and the rents up will rightfully be their doom. no amount of progressive signaling can make up for that betrayal. the age of unprecedented prosperity is almost over in the west, and the modern left will perish with it.

is there a single party in Europe campaigning on the promise of more immigration, I wonder? if so, how do they fare? :)

Or that the Nazis are socialist because they have socialist in their name instead of it being a front name to hide their fascist and racist intentions.

First I thought it must be the usual Israel-related dogwhistle, but nope, it's legitimate and related to Swedish far-right Örebropartiet [1].

(Next time, might be worth to add a source yourself to prevent downvotes)

They are not far right, AFAICT they are “right” Marxists, probably most similar to Albanian Hoxhaism.

If you aren’t familiar with splits inside Marxism-Leninism, the “left” is most often represented by Trotskyism with the “right” tendency being more like Stalinism and North Korean Juche. (Note that these left/right terms aren’t universally used or applied because every faction claims to be correct.)

I think it is more accurate to think of them as syncretic. (that is what Wikipedia has them listed as) Their main focus seems to be on nationalism/anti-immigration rather than socialism. Many fascist parties historically flirt with socialist policies as a way to make inroads with working class voters so it is not always straightforward.

Whoever openly spouts the concept of "remigration" [1] has no business being called anything else but far-right.

> In its political program for the 2026 Swedish general election the Örebro Party writes that they want to "stop the ongoing population replacement" and make Sweden a monocultural society, rather than a multicultural one. The party also writes that this "will be a Sweden where ethnic Swedes are once again the clear majority."

In particular, the "population replacement" is the most clear sign. That's as antisemitic and far-right as it gets [2].

Is Kim Jong Un far right? Seems like a stretch. (North Korea’s immigration policies are even more restrictive than what they want.)

Btw, Malcom Kyeyune, who has a podcast with the party’s founder, is a black child of an immigrant, adopts an avatar on Twitter of Kim Jong Un’s sister, and semi-ironically stans for North Korea on a regular basis.

yes, obviously he is. There is also no law of the universe that prevents a black person from interviewing a far right person or supporting a far right party.

Calling Kim Jong Un “far right” is a special level of ultra-left idiocy. I’m guessing you consider Marx a “moderate” then.
