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?
I agree with what you’re saying in principle, but in practice there are certain types of institutions that have so much indirect influence over modern life that I think some regulation is required. I mean, should you be able to “de-electrify” someone? “De-water” them? The utilities already have these regulations. I think this is one of those moments where pure libertarian ideals need to bow to certain realities.
