And a very likelyhood that Mastercard will go after Patreon next what then? Most of the games on here come from Patreon
And don't get me started on what that will do to kemonoparty should we be worried



Seems like all of the dystopian stories we have we got the shimoneta one sigh

Payment processors and banks are the great satan that not enough people talk about. They are the true gatekeepers of free speech. Their methods, policies and practices are all incredibly opaque. There really needs to be a shift away from centralized visa cards and crypto should really become the new standard. But it'll never happen given crypto admittedly esoteric and a general pain the ass for the typical normie consoomer.

Well, El Salvador has made Crypto an official currency and Crypto went up a lot in the past few days. But the issue is that Crypto is kind of what the elites want. A Digital Currency that they can control.

Last I checked, Subscribestar was still active and people still use it to support them and pay for things. I'm pretty sure they're way more secure and resistant against this stuff than Patreon is.

That's also true. They want to soft roll a social credit system similar to the one already implemented in China with a centrally controlled crypto at the head of it. There are still some privacy oriented crypto currencies, but in the future they'll probably be banned to further consolidate power. Honestly there's no real silver bullet solution to monetary tyranny.

Technically, there is a solution it has been used before. Just some people have their reasons for not wanting to select that box.
War. War is always an option.

What a naive thing to say lol.

When has war/revolution ever produced different results? You swap one ruler/system with another. Great job, but they are still humans who are prone to greed, corruption, and ineptitude.
