  “Who cares if I helped fund the Nazi party, I got good value out of it!”

  I’m not saying Proton are Nazis. I’m not saying the CEO is a Nazi. However, when someone shows you their true colours, believe them. He has a positive view of Trump, a known racist, rapist, and con-man. Just because the product is good doesn’t mean it’s okay to pay for it when you know that money helps to pay a Trump fan.

  This is the worldwide web, there are many alternatives.

    Has the CEO explicitly mentioned he supports Nazis ?

    I am already ahead of you & do have an alternative & it’s called DisRoot Somewhere along the line, you’ll have to behave rationally.

      Nazis don’t tend to explicitly state their support of Nazis. Even they know it’s taboo.

      I sometimes fear that people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress worn by grotesques and monsters as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis.

      Fascism arrives as your friend. It will restore your honour, make you feel proud, protect your house, give you a job, clean up the neighbourhood, remind you of how great you once were, clear out the venal and the corrupt, remove anything you feel is unlike you…

      It doesn’t walk in saying, "Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution."
