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.
If you think that’s what OP was saying, then no, you did not understand just fine. It’s okay to be retarded, just don’t be an ass about it.
