    I’m surprised that Sweden allows individuals to donate that much. Million dollar contributions from a single person should not be legal anywhere.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Claiming immigration policy in general is fascist is just an ignorant perversion of the word that lessens its weight.

    Y’all assume privacy is some left-of-center thing?

    You ever notice how the right always assumes privacy is only for pedos? That’s what they use it for, they can’t imagine any other use for it.

    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.
