Could someone fully explain the mullvad controversy. From my knowledge so far it seems like the cofounder donated to an alt right party and it's probably a bad sign for the company. Anything I'm missing?

These are literally the first passages from Wikipedia.

What country doesn't have domestic weapons manufacturing? Is it a problem when US or France do it?

[–] eremophila@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago

Yes of course it is a problem when the usa, france, russia etc do it, it obviously makes them evil countries. Weapons exist to kill.

The usa is responsible for approximately 42% of the global arms market. 1 country, 42%, clearly not the good guys.
