First Big Tech censored speech. Now they want to shut deplorables out of the financial system.

First, in January, PayPal blocked a Christian crowdfunding site that raised money to bring demonstrators to Washington on January 6. Then, in February, PayPal announced that it was working with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to ban users from the platform. This week the company announced it is partnering with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to investigate and shut down accounts that the ADL considers too extreme.
The harm is compounded when the loss of speech rights is followed by restrictions on the ability to participate in online economic activity. Within days of the Trump-Parler cancellations, most of the finance tech stack (Stripe, Square, PayPal, Shopify, GoFundMe, and even enterprise SaaS company Okta, which wasn’t used by anyone in the events of January 6) declared they were canceling the accounts of “individuals and organizations connected to the [Capitol] riot.”
Tortuous overreactions to January 6th have become a virtue signal unto itself.
I'm waiting for car manufacturers to impound cars that were used to drive people there, the closure of restaurants that dared to serve them during their road trip, and the high schools burned down that graduated those people.
The right are so subverted and glowie'd in America that their only method of expressing discontent is the few lone wolf attacks.
Compare the left, whose broad, countrywide orgy of mob violence since 2016, had state support from kneeling "it's not domestic terrorism it's suicide by cop" feds, muzzled cops and activist DAs that throw out cases.
I believe right wing lone wolf attacks are deliberately fostered to inspire fear and support the leftist police state.
That's not true. Civil Disobedience and the seizure of power in local & state politics clearly have success.
I have an executive at my company who I think the DIE people are going after. He sends out 'motivational' emails every so often. I've been responding to all of them with apolitical red pill principles: stuff about family, individualism, natural inequity & unfairness, stoicism, duty, discipline, etc. He's religious, so hopefully it's having an effect.
Boy, I really am a subversive piece of shit.
Whatever, we have to win this or we get the gulag.
That's because I've been the security state during an insurgency, and I know how they can lose, and how hard it is for them to actually win.
This is how I know that power is illusory. When you point a gun at someone and they just stand their and look at you like: "piss off." You really don't have power over them. And killing them? That makes you completely powerless. What you typically don't see after a gun battle is the winning western forces having to fish dead insurgents out of canals that they had used as a fortification. That's what winning a battle looks like. Civil Disobedience is the recognition by someone that they don't have to listen to you.
The 2nd Amendment is the last line of defense. If you have to resort to it, you've already lost huge ground.
The very concept of coexistence is a bad joke. Leftism, and leftists, are an existential threat to the rest of us.
"Now"?
They've been doing it since November 2016.
it takes time for the normies to notice.
Bullets started flying April 19th 1775. Independence wasn’t declared until July 4th 1776…

To paraphrase Michael Savage: Leftism is a Mental Disorder
At some point though groups like the ADL need to be sued for tortuous interference.

That's certainly different from the usual muh gunz muh south rises posts I usually see.
