DLSite, a website which sells doujinsoft manga, video games, and more has seemingly been forced to refuse major western payment processors Visa and Mastercard.
The article goes on to report that American Express has been added to their blocked policy.
Visa and Mastercard strike again. What was done to Gab in 2018, and others since then, is spreading overseas, to other places.
I'll add another thing, something that Sundance at CTH has posted about several times.
The economic sanctions regime levelled at Russia is not designed to erect a wall against Russia, it is designed to erect a wall around US. It is designed to keep us from escaping their control. You are watching the mechanisms for that be put in place as we speak.
Stuff like this is a million times more important than whatever impotent shit conservatives care about, but not a peep from any of them about it. Being able to spend your money how you please is just as important as free speech and association
Conservatives are utterly useless. All they "conserve" is the stuff the lefties fought for a few years ago.
