OK, the government debanked people for organizing peaceful protests against them. That's hardly reassuring

- Dylan16807 3y agoWhen the accusation was thought crime, I find it pretty reassuring. Sometimes governments jail people for protests, and locking a bank account seems similarly or slightly less bad to me. Not great but not newly worrying. Or is it that you don't consider direct organizational efforts to be a subset of taking part in a protest? I'm generally fine with it, I think. Do you have anyone in particular in mind that was in this role but shouldn't count?
- cpursley 3y agoLocking someone’s bank account means you can’t pay your rent/mortgage (become homeless), can’t buy food, can’t purchase your medicine, can’t work.
- satellite2 3y agoExactly, it's much worse on many accounts.
- Dylan16807 3y agoWere accounts locked for much longer than the protest? And sticking someone in jail does those too.
