So... A honeypot?
If it's a honeypot for fascists but not one for antifascists, maybe. But I'd prefer no honeypot at all, rather one where governance is from the labourers, to the labourers.
A VPN operated exclusively for a single political group would flag everyone using it as that group.
True, I suppose a VPN operated by those supporting that group, then.
Not a honeypot, but a target. I see.
What do you suggest otherwise? I don't want my money to go to fascists or surveillance states.
You don’t get that choice. Beans soak up the flavor of the broth, rocks get thrown out in the trash.
I’m not trying to be a jerk, but you literally have no control over what other people do and the whole point of a marketplace is to drill the social relationship down to cash.
A vpn service with a political angle like you suggested would immediately be targeted.
It’s why you can buy a che tee shirt but not actually ship oil to Cuba.
If you need the security of mullvad then i recommend you use it.
Now a communist vpn would be a great piece of political theater! Get one going then get black bagged over it, run a social media campaign to raise awareness, levitate the pentagon, it’d be fantastic!
Soo, TOR but without the multiple nodes and CIA?
