This is completely misunderstanding the problem. https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full > PayPal [...] reserves the right to suspend or terminate [...] access [...] for any reason and at any time upon notice to you... PayPal never said they broke any terms. PayPal has openly declared war on "hate groups", as defined by the ADL, which is an organization funded by the U.S. oligarchy[0][1]. That's the reason. PayPal is on the side of the political establishment that is interested in consolidating power and manufacturing consent. Corporate and government power have merged a long time ago; it's not gonna reverse itself. Liberals need to read Popper's Open Society and its Enemies, and realize that oligarchy is just as big a threat as fascism, if not bigger due to the population not being innoculated against it (https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1039842312061374464 https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1039842312061374464).

> ADL Of course they'd be involved. ADL has long ceased to be independant and has become an arm of politicians.

    >> "The majority of uses of Pepe the Frog have been, and continue to be, non-bigoted." >> "However, because so many Pepe the Frog memes are not bigoted in nature, it is important to examine use of the meme only in context. The mere fact of posting a Pepe meme does not mean that someone is racist or white supremacist." That's a much more balanced take than I would have.
