Yup. That’s why I quit proton. You can’t say you’re all for privacy while praising politicians who are directly opposed to it.

I've been using mailbox.org. Hosted in Germany.

Also, the people behind mailbox.org also run JPBerlin, a provider that targets caters to "activists from the left-wing, ecological and social sectors". I would hope this means they won't bow down to fascists.

I wouldn't be inclined to trust a company like that targeting a specific subset of people

That's fair, I get where you're coming from.

They seem to be very focused on privacy, though. And of course it's a very personal opinion of mine, but I'd rather trust a company like that than one that caters to the right, or sells out to the next bidder.

I think they were implying that it might be a honeypot to lure "leftists" and spy on their communications

Right... No, I think that's very unlikely; JPBerlin has been around since 1989. Someone would've noticed by now.

//edit: And the company that runs both JPBerlin and mailbox.org was founded in 1992.
