I remember I was able to set up PayPal with direct bank account info. It’s not the most common scenario, and as long as they support Visa they’d be a target.

If one of those companies decided to dedicate their company to free speech, they might go bank transactions only, and cut out the cards. Admittedly, there’s probably dozens of other hurdles I’m not even aware of there.

Ah, and here is where the commenter learns that “capitalist” competitors have legislated their opponents out of business, bought them out, or colluded with them.

Oh, and it’s not just payment processors.

I hear this a lot, but I don’t think it’s the gotcha people claim it is. Most genocide in the modern day tries to aim for economic strangling by eliminating/stealing what few opportunities exist for some populations. See, for instance, the IDF’s efforts to starve Gaza rather than shoot every single Palestinian. Or fascist America’s efforts to deny jobs (even the ones that are not in competition) to disabled or minorities.

I don’t see it as “I’ma move and get rich”, I see it as “I’ma move and not starve on the street”.
