“It should be obvious that Daniel’s private donation to a political party is not part of Mullvad’s values or mission, in the same way that someone’s opinions on animal rights, taxes or public healthcare policy isn’t.”

The part being unsaid here is “that Daniel’s private donation to a political party is NOT INCOMPATIBLE WITH Mullvad’s values or mission” (pardon the double negative)

That’s what I have issue with. They’re saying Daniel’s own personal purpose/mission (the donation being an expression of that) is compatible with their mission, or at minimum does not conflict.

What does “freedom of speech” have to do with expression of Mullvad employees? Mullvad isn’t a government. Free speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. If Daniel’s own personal mission/purpose is incompatible with Mullvad’s, severing their relationship with him would be appropriate and not a violation of his freedom of speech. Of course, this goes back to, it’s not incompatible.

The “tolerance” bit, Daniel’s own personal mission/purpose as expressed by his donation is inherently inhumanely intolerant. Again, Mullvad is indirectly stating that intolerance is not incompatible with their mission/purpose, which makes the “tolerance” bit a contradiction. They might as well have people working for them that believe you have zero right to privacy.

I think there is a key part you are missing here, and that is not only they find it disgusting, but they are afraid they just might, could, maybe be interested or enjoy that “abnormal human behavior”. They’re afraid that the phone call is coming from inside the house.

I think that’s the difference between people who think it’s icky but don’t think it needs to be stopped (like gay men who find sex with women icky/unnatural), and people who not only think its icky but also want to wipe it and everyone who engages in it off the face of the earth.

even us cis people have to stand with the lgbtqia

It’s not just to be an ally either, it’s because these hateful laws will inevitably be twisted to target YOU too. Look at the story of the dad who took his two girls into the women’s bathroom and had the bathroom gender police call the real police on him. Cisgender people are not safe from these laws either. Once queer people are gone they’ll look for the next group and it’ll be amongst cisgender people and they’ll use the anti-LGBTQ laws to do so.

I just take little shots here and there to make sure it eventually empties in a few days

Yes, Scrub Daddies are made from polymerized mashed potatoes so they are delicious fried

It ignores the fact that the premise of the Iraq war was completely built on lies. There were no “Weapons of Mass Destruction” as Republicans claimed. A lot of people enlisted thinking they were protecting the US from a danger threatening the existence of the entire country, which ended up not being true.

The image cuts off the billionaire sitting on top of the large stack of boxes, with each hand resting on boxes stacked slightly higher on either side.

That’s the way some people think of equality, and contrasted with what equity looks like, it demonstrates the flaw in that line of thinking.

Also, there is a version of this image where the fence is completely removed and the subtitle is “justice” or something like that, which is also a good contrast to both equality and equity.
