    Pretty simple.

    They already wanted to do it, but didn’t want to take the blame for it. With a vocal minority now voicing concerns, they jumped on the occasion.

    So why now rather than when that group started voicing their oppoaition ? Well, if they did earlier they had to deal with a liberal federal government that probably would have intervened in the name of free market, but now with a conservative fed government, they have free reign to impose regressive view on about anyone.

      JFC 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️That’s a convenient excuse. Then what were they doing all these years, sleeping ?? There were other groups similar to CollectiveShout & could’ve tried during Covid when their influence was at peak

      Well regardless, now we can kill 2 birds with 1 stone, the fascists & the payment processors

        Waiting for the right time to strike.

        Well regardless, now we can kill 2 birds with 1 stone, the fascists & the payment processors

        Good luck living without payments processors.

            GNU Taller is a good alternative, and I hope to use it in real life some day. Crypto, in their current form, is far too volatile and unregulated for me to be interested in.
