You all know how hard I pound the table about using services of your enemies, and how crazy it makes me.
Well, I am subscribed to KiwiFarms founder J0sh on X, and he posted this:

"The irate black woman trying to debank @GiveSendGo says they're trying to switch to Stripe, as Square may have already decided to ban them."
I was eating lunch, and damned near spit out a mouthfull of food after reading that.
I swear, the right deserves to get their heads bashed in as often as they do, if they keep doing stupid shit like using either Square or Stripe.
For f*** sake, Stripe just de-platformed Odysee a few months ago over content, THEY ARE A HOSTILE PLATFORM, but GSG thinks they will somehow be able to thread the needle?
As much as I appreciate the parallel economy we really need to pass laws on this while we have the chance. Banking is pretty much a utility and should be regulated to the degree that you can't cancel a customer because of "bad publicity" or whatever excuse they make up, and for payment processing you cannot discriminate between legal products and services or buyers and sellers. (I'd go farther and apply anti-cancel regs to ALL large businesses, but I think we can get people Left and Right to agree on banks at least.)
There is no issue you can get left and right to agree on and there never will be again. If we had another 9/11 you would see demonstrations in favor of Al Qaeda in every major US city.
