Assuming it wasn't him mismanaging an account

the free market of ideas is essential! and taking away someone's source of income is horrible imo

were not talking about their source of income

were talking about his savings and checking account

Gundealers and manufacturers have been removed from the a good portion of the banking system for about a year now. So far they've fallen back on local credit unions and the kinds of banks that used to loan to the porn industry.

oh wow, that is dirty

tbh, most people should fall back to local credit unions

I actually think it's probably internal pressure. And if anything, that's far more important than external. Suppose you were at the meeting where they were discussing banning this guy. There's an open ANTIFA member with some power in the bank organization who's claiming this guy is a white nationalist and anyone who defends him is a crypt-fascist.

Would you say anything? People on the right are always telling each other to "keep your head down" and "it'll work out and the pendulum will swing back so don't worry about it"

And more and more people get un-personed.

I need to settle down in a few years and I'm certainly looking at them

Banks don't fear antifa members, even internally.

lol

banks fear bad publicity like all companies

Please

As stated earlier, they allow internal crime organizations to use their networks

And get called out all the time. Think Western Union cares that they are the bank of choice for scammers?

No, they get a cut of the profits.

they care when the people cirticizing them start planting bombs against other people they denounce

Who said that the people who matter know about the bombs?

Why? Insurance pays for the damage, they get a new building

lol

I'm just saying, the blame is on the organization of the right and a complete inability to hit back or even defend itself.

Hard to get a new life

At some point though, I think China and or Russia might spot the opportunity. Then things will get very nasty.

You think the big wigs at the top care about their employees?

Some do. The left is very good at organizing people and starting employee revolts. Look at Google and the CIA.

No, but they care about their own lives

And it only takes a couple well positioned people and a bit of propaganda.

Chances of the owner of a bank getting bombed are pretty low given antifa usually attacks local business and rarely the people they actually hate.

And a general culture of fear.

so much to unpack reading this conversation

See, the CIA is interesting

Because that goes back to talk about the credit networks threatening to cut off interbanking network access

Or to that government program desided to threaten banks to "defend terrorist" which was never shut down

And if you can prove someone in the government is using that program to suppress political opponents, that is a major violation of the first amendment.

And actually violation, unlike the company doing it on its own.

the problem is such proof is nearly impossible to obtain

See, the problem is that you want to find a way to blame the government. You're telling me that the FBI, the people who'd be investigating these things and deciding who's a terrorist has repeatedly denied the Proud Boys are even an "extremist organization" and yet they're the one pulling the accounts? I'd expect to see something much bigger and more sudden in that case.

No, it's that really woke, really promising new Harvard grad who's playing culture warrior at the bank and terrorizing his/her co-workers into silence.

I dont think its the government i think its corporations and their leaders

There was a bill that was approved to go for he floor to shutdown the program, but it's been stuck in limbo awaiting to be voted on since 2017 if I remember
