Congratulations, Anon! We have won a sizeable victory in the Censorship War against the cartel and their allies! Both Visa and Mastercard have taken the bait and stepped the land mine, doubling down on their absolutely laughably transparent lies. This was expected because they are arrogant beyond words and they are unwilling to give up the blackmail and control they hold over millions of people and businesses. Their choice to lie so brazenly is resulting in massive backlash and the support for our cause rapidly growing. We are on the edge of a truly awe inspiring global viral trend - a true cultural awakening and unification of the people against these elite globalist interests that would do us harm. The public is waking up. Our overwhelming support is growing as the influencer talking points have shifted away from stupid gooner defense to the more pressing issue of mass corporate overreach that effects the very core of free speech, artistic freedom, and the rights of a free people choosing what legal goods they are allowed to purchase with their money. It makes no sense that Valve doesn't decide what games are allowed on Steam, the cardtel does. This multi-faceted repression is unacceptable!

It is time to fight back with our autism!

The mission of the day is simple and easy:

https://x.com/MastercardNews/status/1951280013799510020

Magnify the blowback of the above post. Join in the dog-pile and roast Mastercard. Fight them with memes and laughter. Expand the reach of this post so that it reaches as many news outlets and eyes as possible. For the love of freedom, for art, for democracy, for the constitution, for games, for whatever you believe in, join in. It's easy. It's cathartic. And our collective action is powerful. Join me and let's save the hobby we all love together!

We will reclaim our freedom. We will protect our games. Our anime. Our porn. It's not their right to rule over us.

What makes these corrupt hypocritical dickheads think they can decide what WE do with OUR MONEY! It's OUR money, not theirs!

They should not have banned so many books, doujin, anime, and games! They are coming for it all and if you let this precedent stand we may lose our entire civilization right here! Now is the time to act or forever hold your peace.

The cartel censored the world on July 16th with their creative takeover of Steam. This is an attack on the entire world and essentially says that the cartel is more powerful than any nation on the planet. No one should have the power to arbitrarily ban anything they want and they certainly shouldn't be able to do it overnight -worldwide- and without any democratic due process at all. This is morally wrong and EVERYONE HATES THEM WITH EXCELLENT REASON!

Let's win a cultural victory together instead of speed-running the shittiest cyberpunk dystopia!

Hey there! I'm a 21-year-old gal from the U.S., and I love getting a little wild during late-night chats. I'm a curvy girl who enjoys taking control and teasing guys until they can't handle it anymore. There's just something about the thrill of driving someone crazy over the screen that gets me excited! I have a bit of social anxiety, so meeting people in person isn’t really my scene. That’s why I’m all about those spicy chats – they’re way more my vibe! If you’re into the same fun and are looking for some flirty conversation, hit me up! My username is E mm ic k oq (just make sure to remove the spaces to find me). Can't wait to chat!

The cartel is getting absolutely destroyed on social media. It is truly inspiring watching everyone come together to hate on these enormous assholes that are deserving of so much more.

Video game hysteria is back but it just a smokescreen for an obvious power-grab.

Yummy yummy! Look at that ratio! The cartel is getting DESTROYED on social media. This is starting to spiral for them! Let's ensure that it continues to.

Our society has become kind of weird blackmirror influencer kind of deal. Look through videos on this topic. You will notice legendary like:dislike ratios. This means we are winning. Our message is viral. The cartel is going to lose AND GAMERS ARE GOING TO WIN!

There are not enough shills in the world to stop us. The people see through their bullshit. The illusionary curtain is falling away leaving only naked, ugly truth.

A trickle does nothing but a sustained flow can undermine even the strongest foundation.

I am grateful for all those joining in our quest for freedom and liberation. I'll raise a glass to you all tonight. Thank you!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G1UvnYysrY

Everyone with more than 2 brain cells is against the cartel. If you don't know what I am talking about just search the Steam censorship war and watch an influencer you trust. This is a very important that will dramatically affect the next few years.


There are many fighting for you right now but we need more. Please consider joining us and defending games and basic freedom.

These disgusting fucks are everyone of our enemies. From Nazis to Commies to Racists to Minorities to Gooners to Devout Christains this hurts us all. We need to focus that generational hatred if eachother at them for just a bit longer until they learn their lesson!

This is a just cause with big stakes. I want to live in a world with amazing art and video games. What about you?

Don't let gaming be controlled by weird people like this:

>>937935366
Yes, literally everyone hates them except for like 5% of people that seem to be very religious and very short sighted.

>>937935695
I believe these people can be converted too but it is not a priority. Ignore gooner arguments, use right to buy legal goods instead with these folks.

This global power grab will not stop unless we stop it.

Our technology has advanced but human nature has not. We must learn from history, otherwise we will repeat it endlessly.

I wish someone would make us better anti-censorship memes too. We need eyeballs on the cartel and many hilarious jokes at their expense. Laughter can defeat and enrage even the most stalwart opponent.

This reality is pretty surreal. One Piece is now terrorism? Every hourly headline reads like parody from the Onion.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLPKiPhuVVk

These moves disproportionately effect small indie devs. The cartel's huge number of subjective rules are designed to chill creativity and force creators to live in fear.

>>937935695
Stop being so antisemitic

Left or right - gamers unite!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK4aIofFmS4

>>937938115
Not gonna work. They'll just demonize gamers again just like they did during the "gamergate" shit. And the normies will eat it up, like usual.

>>937938093
According to a Grok analysis of public data, the religious affiliations of the cartel executives are diverse and not J dominated. However, many of the investors like Mr. Fink are. I am targeting them not because they are jews but because they are asshole cartel members who want to control the world.

>>937938141
Apples and oranges. Go look at the mastercard thread. The normies were against us, now they are unified behind us against the cartel. People are dumb but they are also smart enough to understand when someone treats them with utter contempt and arrogance. We are not letting this go until the cartel has been neutered.

>>937938364
>The easily propagandized normies will totally be on our side and not buy their propaganda again!
It's kinda cute that you believe that.

>>937938425
I am far from naive but I do believe in anon and that the good people outnumber the bad. My family are all normies. They are 100% with me, when they never have been before. I have argued with probably close to a thousand people about this topic and I can estimate the level of support. The normies are with us because no one wants a 3rd party to randomly step in and cock-block legal trades. The left, right, and center hate this. The ultra left and ultra right like it but only if it used against their adversaries, so the smart ones realize pragmatically its best not to censor anyone.

We are rapidly gaining ground. Will we win against the most powerful cartel ever in the long term? I don't know but we can definitely throw a monkey wrench into their plans. I'm betting on gamers. Watch us win and then join us for the next offensive.

test

Gamers are pushing back the multi trillion all-powerful cartel. A million pin-pricks can bleed even a giant!

I smell blood! Keep swarming! Use cardtel tears for sustenance!

>>937939100
I argued with many people who said we could not touch the cartel's trillions. They are wrong. No company is invincible. No company lasts forever. No capitalist can survive if you choke their business from a hundred vectors at once.

Do not underestimate us. We are the internet. We are legion. We are anon and this is fight of our lives for all that we love and hold dear!

They are lying their ass off in an attempt at dodging legal repercussions. Expose the lie and break the monopoly.
They and Visa share a list of taboo words they will financially punish people for having on their site. They have been steamrolling over countless sites that they have their claws in for years now. It is probably in the hundreds of millions.
Blood, tentacles, furry, alcohol, hypnosis, drugs, school, and so on all banned content. Each listed with the corresponding justification regardless if it is correctly applied or not.
Furries and tentacles for example is associated with bestiality.
Blood being associated with abuse if I remember right.
Drugs and alcohol being associated with no consent.
It reads like it was written by a robot. You think Patreon just went censorship crazy for no reason? Nope. They know who and where their money comes from.

I was there for gamergate, saw this same sort of righteousness for what was essentially virtuous reasons, media ethics, game censorship by social justice hypocrites. Saw the media turn that autistic focus into social castigation, saw the message get twisted into some anti women bullshit where only the trolls were held up as the examples of any pro gamergate stance. Saw the moderates who desired to distance from conservative bullshit with the category of alt right get twisted into a nazified version even more reprehensible than old school conservatives. Saw con artists not only get extolled as virtuous despite the massive evidence showing they were dishonest af, but taken all the way to the UN.

You're right about this, the bullshit censorship and financial strong arming by financial middlemen forcing their own politics upon unaffiliated 3rd parties.

But I'm predicting now, they'll just use the media to twist this against you. And there will be some gross jerk taking advantage as the hero of it like trump who will get into power just by taking advantage of people's desires to disrupt the corrupt status quo.

I hope that won't happen this time. I really do. But if history is anything to go by, you're woefully outgunned by institutions that have existed since before you were born, while your working on corrupt information and education they've fed you all your life.

Good luck.

Oh and p.s

Don't repeat the mistakes gamergate made. Pay attention.

>>937939202
The vassals will rebel once the mad king and queen have been mortally wounded.

>>937939218
There are similarities but the environment is quite a bit different now. I have lived under the cartel for almost a decade because I had to. Rebellion meant "debanked death". There is more than enough support for rebellion this time because we can win.

In a parallel world the cartel were more careful. They waited to kill itch, they consolidated more slowly - they were more polite and measured in grooming Steam. I'd be out defending incest and getting absolutely fucked. The people would be divided by stupid partisan BS. That's the path to defeat. I also think they picked this timing to coincide with the UK but this backfired - they should have done the opposite. By having all this shit drop at once it just made the Censorship war go viral. It stocked resistance and pushed more normies into the WTF camp. These groups want to take us out divided, one by one except we are more unified than ever before.

In our reality, the cartel overstepped. Massively. And now we are going to wound them right in the knee and make them take a fall.

>>937939925
I get the concepts that you're referring to and I agree with your essential point. But these assholes fight based on optics. As Vince McMahon used to say, perception is reality. And they're good at this shit, especially because people want things to conform to how they understand shit and they know how to argue that. Plus people want someone to dislike, which is how the "cartel" will argue. You on the other hand, just your language alone builds a wall between you and the people you need to get on side. Or in simpler terms, you sound crazy.

Take it from an autist who has dealt with the courts for well over a year recently. The key to victory is not to argue that you are right, even though you clearly are. You have to argue in a manner that appeals to people's pre-existing understanding and prejudices.

Put it this way, you know the thing about them saying they're just cutting payments based on the law is bullshit. But people want to believe that. So is going to fly unless you can prove they're attached to things that have nothing to do with the law and that they're cutting payment methods for reasons people hate.

Tie them to the fundies pushing it, vilify the fundies and use guilt by association to get the credit card companies to back track. That's your primary goal. And likely the only victory you can achieve. Get that before you build on the 3rd party assholes dictating what people can and cannot buy and use the precedent set by them doing it because fundies make them. That might be enough to get regular people to understand the ramifications are bigger than porn video games.

>>937940345
You're clearly a very smart guy and this is exactly why we will win. Gamers are diverse. They are stubborn. They learn quickly. Everyone games. The population is massive. Meaning we have people with S rank skills in every single category to build an invincible real life guild. It's impossible to lose in PVP to these cartel execs. They can't kill and debank us all. That's not to say that the cartel is weak - they aren't. They have the best money can buy. They are still 100x stronger than our faction now but that's down from 1000x two weeks ago. At this rate we will catch them in no time. This is the power of exponential growth.

We all have very different gifts and personality types. I have embraced mine for the cause. I realize I sound insane. I probably sound like a nutty comic book villain - good! That's what we need. I am what I am. I stopped fighting it long ago. I am an INTJ and a strategy gamer with a very high win %. I sound arrogant but the cartel will soon learn there is a difference between arrogance and confidence! I have never been so angry in my life. As long as I see even glimmer of the path to victory I will fight and the path is blazing bright. I have the feeling I get in strategy games when I know the tide has turned and I can't realistically be defeated. There are 10,000 like me. That should terrify the cartel.

More extroverted influencers have already championed our cause. They are much better at social things so it is more efficient to back them than do it myself. I send them research and talking points and suggestions.

Everyone can contribute. We just need to play to our strengths and strike at the enemy's weaknesses. This is a pivotal moment in history that will be studied thousands of years from now.

>>937940345
There are many paths to victory. Regulation. Capitulation. Long term marathon war. Economic. Legal. Public opinion. Bypass them to irrelevance.

I wonder if we can force the cartel to capitulate and roll back their demands before they get regulated and broken apart by anti-trust laws and counter sued in a massive class action suit with valve and 50,000 others?

Their acts are blatantly illegal (tortious interference, anti-trust, civil liberties/free speech etc) and they are acting aggressively against all primary factions of the public - this is doomed to fail. They are used to doing a tiny community one at a time - now they aggroed the entire planet. I don't care if the cartel sends everyone a check for $10,000 they are not getting out this PR death spiral. If they try, we will kick them right back down again.

>>937941378
This all existed during gamergate and the media and their cronies absolutely destroyed it. It went from gaming beyond a cool pop thing that spawned pop crap like big band theory to back to being a social outcast subculture that's only acceptable if you're a minority, and gamer being considered a byword alongside racist and misogynist. Even celebrities who backed us ended up being pushed out and in some cases cancelled despite their social credit.

Despite everything we had, even the truth and the evidence, for turned into another tool to fuck with people and solidify their control.

So it's important we learn from that.

And avoid buying conartists trying to subvert what you're trying to do into a platform for their own power plays.

And no, comic book villain isn't a good stance to hold. As frustrating as it is, you need to pretend to be another normie. Normies need to think they are just like you and have the same arguments before they'll back you. And you need their help.

>>937941378
NTA, but I wanted to add two cents. You are passionate, and that is good. Do not pretend to be someone else in your life, but be mindful of the perspective of those who don't know you, and strategically adjust your communication to get on their good side first, and appeal to their interest when fighting for our cause.
You mentioned being INTJ. MBTI is a bit janky, I personally don't rely on it (but if you are curious, my result was INTP), but not entirely without use. Learning how to type others, and then read on how to speak with them. It's a good start.
Being precise with language is important. It's best to avoid ever talking about things like loli or shota, tentacles, rape themes, etc. Instead, just generalize and talk about "erotic fiction" instead of a specific genre. It's art, so speak about it like you would about any other art.
Payment processors and card networks have PR firms on their side, and they pay journos to spread their propaganda. It's important not to give them ammo by hamfisting irrelevant politics into the mix. It's also important avoid the blame game of making it about "feminists" or "christians", most people are friendly to both groups are ambiguous to this problem, and can be swayed to join the fight against a common enemy, provided people don't present themselves as a threat to such groups.
Ideally, people should also abandon the simplistic thinking that boils everything down to "jews" or "femoids", but if someone cannot do that, then at least they should put such conversations aside, since most people will use it against the whole effort.

Excellent work, my friends! The mastercard post is at 8 million views - at this rate it should easily go above 10 million - at that level the visibility is probably 100-500 million people from news outlets. (anon and I will follow up with emails to news outlets to spread the story - feel free to suggest the story to influencers and news networks, especially those more likely to cover it in our favor. It sounds insane but we all need to comment on this post and make that ratio as ridiculous as possible. Even though it's already at legendary levels a bit more will help. The thread has given me IMMENSE pleasure watching the PR nightmare continue to implode.

Every single comment matters, it just has a hilarious and somewhat unpredictable butterfly effect. There will be dozens if not hundreds of reaction videos to the MC thread so the more comments and hilarious memes against MC there are, it will make the reactions even more hilarious and drive traffic. We need to take this MC PR shit-storm implosion and make it into a self propagating black hole.

>>937942052
Really good points. The politics are quite complicated. There are so many divisive partisan red herrings.

I got called schizo many times in the last thread, so I agree how information is presented is important - but that's why I am leaving that to A and S rank communicators that already have followings.

I know my own weaknesses better than anyone. I've patched them over the years but it is a waste to focus on things others on the team can do a better job of.

I am usually just a quiet guy that wants to make art but these insane power-tripping cartel bastards won't let me. I don't want to do any of this. I HAVE to.

>>937940345

>>937938141
All you need to do is amplify the censorship of LGBTQ games and the lefties will fall in line. They can't bear to go against their alphabet crew. Just hit them with the old purity test and call them a -phobe and shit and they will come to heel like good NPCs. If they don't fall in like just call them a Nazi book burner, they hate that.

>>937938854
>ultra right
You aren't right wing if you want the CC companies to censor shit, because you SHOULD remember the attempts at banning guns and ammo via CC purchases. The right knows these finance boys are enemies. Anyone saying otherwise are shills and good goy serving kike masters to mislead people.

All thanks to the efforts by multiple anons throughout 4chan including the ones bringing this to high ranking politicians who share our hatred for censorship but the is minute to the ones that rose up against these cartels this is one more step towards victory

>>937940345
The best way to get normies is to remind them that they banned shit THEY like. Meaning if dealing with right wing - remind them they tried banning ammo and guns, and if left wing point out they are -phobes banning LGBTQ games.

That points to them not just banning CP. They are puritans banning EVERYTHING they don't like, and it's already here for THEIR stuff.

And it's also easy to bring up Cuties as evidence that when REAL CP shit is posted, these cunts don't care a bit.

>>937942831

What are these people then? They exist for sure. I see a bunch on twitter.
>>937936226
I've asked some and they say they are conservative but I guess you'd just argue they are not? There is weirdness with the feminist stuff too - the hard left knee jerked themselves off at first until they realized that CS hates gay people and sex then were like OH SHIT. Now fucking ANITA is on our side. Fuck her very much. The fair weather people don't matter - but you will note they are now 100% on our team because they feel the way the wind is blowing.

Just looking up collective shouts apparent evidence to support their points. Talk about self reverential bullshit. They're clearly relying on people's prejudices to push their platform. Backed by a bunch of powerful Australian radfem lobbying groups. Ironically they count a bunch of terfs and radical misandrists as supporters.

I think a key point would probably be their vilification of sex workers even as they claim to be supportive of women's rights.
Establishing links between women's and LGBTQ self expression being under fire by these anti sex puritans would be a strong counter point.

They're trying for legitimacy by echoing sentiments of various anti rape and anti paedophilia orgs but there's a clear embellishment that shows these are just Karen's relying on "women's rights" and "won't someone think of the children" to garner sympathy.

That the payment vendors would echo these sentiments shows that they're picking a partisan stance which is in violation of their 3rd party status.

If MC and visa get caught out as having political sentiments, they would lose much of their status and government protections.

>collective shout
Same Jack Thompson/Anita Sarkeesian type bullshit using poorly founded surveys and internet rage.

That's the same dumb ass that wanted to outlaw small titty porn in Australia cause he said small tit women is pdf adjacent.
These guys weren't even taken seriously in Australia but they turned MC and Visas head?

>>937944224
Really, he is the small boob ban dude? I could never understand that since the pacific region has ~1billion adult asian women with small breasts. It isn't a child/ loli thing at all.

>>937944299
I think we should make him supreme leader so he can save many children.

>>937944299
>asians have small boobies
Fair point, but there is also the whole it's retarded thing too. Tit size = maturity? Fucking lol.

Here is the NCOSE / morality in media stuff. They failed as a fringe religious group, rebranded for the children and now print money and influence. According to MC's TOS - they are one of their top guideline contributors. At some point it just has to become a meme that anytime someone unironically says it is for the children they flicked in the balls.

>>937944501
They want to ban sexting... wtf

What's going on here? I've only skimmed the few posts about this but it looks like you guys are just now realizing that banks are in control of society? They have been debanking people for a while now. Where was the outrage at the Canadian truckers when they got debanked? Where you guys when the RNC was being targeted? The big wars have already been lost, and you celebrate this minor victory like you've moved a mountain. You're too late and you've put zero skin in the game. You act like some mean tweets are changing the world. They'll just have new definitions tomorrow and do it all again. Just look at DEI and ESG. You lost.

>>937945549
The banks made the biggest power grab ever and people are revolting because they took over Steam. Visa now decides what games are sold on steam, instead of Steam - this obviously stupid to 90-95% of people and people are PISSED. The stuff you are talking about is small potatoes, tiny potatoes, compared to what is going on now.

This has worked historically because they divide and conquer. They have failed this time because they have mass aggroed the whole planet and will get wiped.

I would say this is 1 billion incidents. Maybe 2 billion. It's an attack on everyone and everything on a level that has pushed people to act.

You can be a dick if you want, but we went from an impossible to beat immortal 25 trillion cartel, to proving we can have a major impact - by uniting everyone to stop this insane overreach. No one cares if some assholes truckers get screwed. They do care if all all basic rights are removed and the cartel gets to decide all free adults what legal goods they can buy.

We are fighting because we have to. My personal losses are at least 1 million dollars because of this and it has ruined my favorite hobby and the internet. It makes it so I can't sell my legal products. This is far worse the cartel bullying a tiny group in isolation.

Brain up and join the fight!

>>937945549
>I mean to say this is the equivalent of 1 billion trucker incidents. Maybe 2 billion. It's an attack on everyone and everything on a level that has pushed people to act.

It makes no sense that the Visa Mastercard cartel now has ultimate authority on Earth above the nation state, constitution, democracy etc - this is why we are pissed.

I have the equivalent of a rated r novel and it is banned world wide overnight across the world and now I get to starve to death. No 3rd party cartel should be able to block my legal trades and free speech in this manner. At least in a democracy I could protest or debate an issue. Fascism on this level where they just take out Steam (one of the strongest companies in history) and do everything unaccounable to the entire world is madness at least the equivalent of a billion trucker incidents because it affects everything and everyone.

People will sleep through a lot of terrible stuff but they won't sleep through rapidly losing all of their rights in a 2 week span. The corpos should have spread it out. They should have continued to stomp targets one by one. Now they face a general revolt and I don't see how they come back even with billions in propaganda. This is only the beginning. A minor victory against a foe that should annihilate us instantly is good. We are still losing and weaker but we are gaining power exponentially which means we will win if we keep it up. Imagine stellaris. We are a new player and the cartel are ascendant aliens with supremacy. But they are a "stagnant" ascendancy with power capped or being reduced. Meaning we will eclipse them one day as long as the trend continues. Our collective actions here for example on a heavily viral post can easily accelerate our path to victory. It's simple math and it says we win if we keep fighting.

>>937946852
What you don't get is that the wealthy and powerful have always had this level on control. You just had no way of knowing about the control prior to non-curated information exchange that the internet provides.
And now is the time you should realize that the entire historical narrative is also bullshit because of this.

>>937947214
Yeah they will. Just watch.

>>937945549
Majority of this goes on because the regular pleb isn't aware of it. Doesn't pay attention to what goes in the sausage, but if they start realising that they are what's being fed into the meat grinder, they tend to stop turning the handle.

If unelected entities start pushing edicts for the public without approval, people start pushing representatives to stop that. Seeing as they need the public to keep them in office, they do listen - if enough speak.

If not, they start getting revolts and unrest. Especially if the media can't keep it contained. So make them aware. Get enough pushback. DEI came under fire once the public started getting bitchy about it.

>>937944299
If that's the way his mind works I wouldn't be surprised if he's outed as a pedophile. These things are so often projection

>>937947261
>no way of knowing before non curated media
Not true. People knew beforehand because there was transparency on who curated the media. They knew that information coming from the media wasn't unbiased and wasn't "for the truth". It was by companies for those companies aims.

We need to return to that.

>>937947374
>because there was transparency on who curated the media.
Nice narrative. It's not true, though. That was just what they used to placate everyone.
If anything, it's all LESS censored now.

>>937947547
It is true, before Watergate and the bullshit "unbiased journalists" and "crusaders for truth" narrative formed, everyone knew who owned what outlet and knew that anything they heard from them was propaganda to make the owners look good and competitors look bad.

Literally used to call journalism and marketing propaganda before the 60s. Not as a pejorative. That's what it was called.

>>937947261
This is the here and now, and our countries are in an existential battle against these forces that usurp their traditional power.

Autocracies suck ass. Freedom, free markets, and democracy have major flaws but they are by far the best proven combo historically.

History is full of fucked shit, which is why preserving free speech and basic rights is important. I had my basic essential rights 3 weeks ago and I don't have them now! That's what some of you are missing. This is war. I have to win or die and lose everything I've worked for. This is not a chubby trucker going home in a couple weeks.

I do not accept burning books. I do not accept mass censorship by an unelected banking cartel probably on the Epstein list. I do not accept having all my favorite art and tv and anime and games being banned by a foreign influenced corp without any due process. When I got into a store I decide what I buy - I do not ask a payment processor's permission. They should stfu and process all legal payments. Blocking legal payments and forbidding goods is stupid and bad (and illegal) for obvious reasons. But they think everyone is stupid and they are above the law - that's not true.

>>937947727
Good luck, bro. I've just seen too many of these grass roots movements get subverted, seduced, and then used as a zombie husk for the benefit of the very people they were protesting against. I've watched the Tea Party, OWS, BLM, et al turn into nothing but tools for the establishment.
They have a lot of money and are utterly ruthless. They are not going to let you challenge their power.

>>937947967
Thanks.
>They are not going to let you challenge their power.
Twenty million anonymous say otherwise. We are challenging their power in real time and winning. Go that mastercard thread and revel in something that is truly rare - pure unified hate against a group that very much deserves it. This is our moment to counter attack because we should be getting crushed but instead the cartel is reeling from us tiny little insignificant ants. Ants are strong AF and so is anon. All we have to is stoke the normie outrage.

Turns out shout collective isn't even a grassroots group and has links to figures in Aus government behind family law legislation attempting to push the deluth model as well as anti trans laws governing trans identification and treatment.

Hey there! I'm a 21-year-old girl from the US, a little on the adventurous side, loving to explore my wild side through flirty chats.

I’m quite the night owl and my imagination runs wild after dark. Social situations make me a bit anxious, which is why I find it way easier to connect through messages.

It was just the first of a million cuts and it was and is MUCH more effective than you and critics give it credit for. Some of the initial commentators have even said nothing would happen like dr disaster and he was very stoked today because the "it will be pointless waaah we already lost" mentality is dying. Morale is up. Our attack is doing low but ok damage and then MC and V countered with a gaslight attack and it missed and backfired. Their stock is down. Their image is ruined. And the phone lines and legal complaints are full.

>>937949968
Start a TikTok trend of millions of people cutting their credit cards up & you'll see what actual change is

Sub 400 price target for MC with massive liability and major lawsuits and regulation coming their way. Will the cartel stop lying and roll back their draconian measure or will there be 50,000+ parties in a trillion dollar class lawsuit? It is not cheap to step on people's rights in america- IF the party fights for it.

>>937949939
I can see it too. The arrogant smarm is being replaced with anxiety. They have aggroed an entire world. It's only been 2 weeks and look at them, fucking pathetic. They are attacking US, yet they are the ones getting roasted. We will be exponentially stronger in one month.

>>937950342
What can they be sued for? They can use their monopolies as they please, since they have bribed governments for their power. We keep electing politicians who fuck their voters to serve their corporate masters. Hell, one of trumps minions first victims was the CFPB. Our votes show we approve

Around 20+ legal entities are now investigating the cartel. They will approach the complaints from their own perspective and niche. Some wont do anything but all of them should at least waste time and resources (and scare the shit out of cartel investors). Many of the cases are VERY strong from what my research says mixed with the opinions of some legalfags.

For example, tortious interference is when someone interfers with a contract. Steam concents to sell games - the devs concent. And then right as they are about to make legal money VMC runs in and teabags them and says "no, you can't make this legal money or we will destroy your business. We decide what goods you sell in your store... or else."

That is classic black and white interference, they lose fuck off kind of thing. Valve didnt do this because getting shot in the head and losing 90% revenue and gaining the potential to win a legal case a year or two later, they made the only choice. But that they force even valve to give up control, means they have way too much power and are using to make things worse.

Then there are many antitrust and anti monopoly laws. VMC (a duopoly) colludes and acts in concert as a monopoly (this is called a cartel). They should be broken up.

Then you have class action and civil liberties stuff. How many 100ks/millions has this cartel fucked with the adult art content? Including Japan and all the worldwide indies - it's a massive number and the damages are equally massive. Visa alone has over a trillion in debt slavery with ~30% interest rates - 30% is unusable to carry debt at that level, it just fucks stupid people with poor impulse control. It's usury on a extreme level far divorced from the market rate of the time/value of money.

>>937950644
>>937951258
I ran out of space:

Then perhaps most importantly, we have the civil liberties angle. The cartel is effectively blocking the sale of my game and other creative works. They are not allowed to do this on so many levels.

Start whispering, guys - did you hear Visa and MC might have a trillion dollar lawsuit against them? YIKES!


>>937950687
Be safe and spread the word if you can.

We will win because we have to. Let me share a heartening anecdote to demonstrate our unique situation. I made a post bitching about the cartel on twitter/x. I got a bunch of likes for it. The message was just the same kind of stuff I've been saying in this thread. What is fascinating is that the likes show something I have never seen before.

Bam a long line of icons that I mouse over one by one. Gamer. Christian. Femboy. Transgender user. Edgy teen. Game dev. Author. Influencer. Hard leftie. Adult game dev. Streamer. Conservative guy with guns. loli vtuber. furry. A guy in a suit. Someone claiming to be a crypto expert, Then a few normies / ones I can't really tell what/who they are based on their bio. But this is one hell of a coalition. What kind of political group is like this? Us. We are the only political force like this. No group has ever been this diverse and unified. We have high base levels of public support and they are going higher. And our rivals are an evil corp with a sizeable debt slave business. No one likes these guys or insurance companies. People sympathize with Luigi instead of the insurance company.

We will not use violence. We will maintain the moral high ground and we will win legendary popular support to push back those who would attempt to destroy the very fabric of our rules-based democratic societies.

>>937951258
Nobody is forced to use the card companies & agree to their "we can do anything we want" terms of service contracts. Remember burger lawyers would say they can successfully sue god if they think they can make a dollar off it. You seem to be shrugging off that fact that the current US government shut down the CFPB specifically to protect these companies.
Don't get me wrong, I hope this action helps, but I know it won't

>>937951824
I'd agree with you for normal companies. For monopolies - that doesn't make sense. There is no alternative. I also take issue with the idea I need to lie my way in and then fly under the radar otherwise I lose either my creative independence or food. That's not how rules work - they must be clear and evenly enforced.

Say I had a Game of Thrones game that is pretty vanilla and I wanted to upload it to steam. It might slip through the cracks. It's against the rules explicitly but still kind of in a grey area the censorship hasn't overwhelmed yet. Maybe they let me in. But I don't want to lie during my submission and that sets a weird precedent of everything being in creative shadow-banned limbo.

>>937952017

no, there's literally not. swift isn't just a protocol, it's a series of agreements between banks to accept transactions. creating a new protocol isn't the hard part, it's convincing banks to adopt your new protocol. swift makes it impossible to create a banking system that isn't susceptible to sanctions, anti-money laundering kyc bullshit, and financial censorship. and before some retard suggests crypto, why don't you go buy your groceries with monero and let me know how that goes for you. any crypto payment app you can possibly use basically just sells the crypto for fiat at the pos, and that trade still needs to go through the swift network to happen. you're not going to convince normie merchants to do business in crypto, and there will never be mass adoption.

Think of the chil-MWAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Normally the cartel inspires fear... but things have changed. Now they inspire LAUGHTER, JOKES, AND RIDICULE! I can smell THEIR FEAR! The smugness is gone. Their eyes are tight. Sweat is on their brow. Don't believe their exaggerated stories of invincibility - no one and nothing is immortal. Their dystopia they want to build is starting to crumble and fray.

We are much more powerful than our detractors would indicate and our strength grows by the minute!

This is just like the economic system - it only functions if the people have confidence in it. If people stop using it or withdraw their money from the fractional reserve banking system it will collapse with shocking ease.

Visa and MC are such immoral companies. It makes zero sense they get to decide which legal goods we can trade in. They aren't my fucking mom!

>>937958873

Clumsy. They are bungling because they are not used to push back. The panic and anxiety is obviously increasing while our morale is reaching max.

Another minor victory for gamers just announced - image related.

The Mastercard thread is becoming active again. It's sunday so it will be very active and hilarious. It's very liberating to laugh at these awful people.

I am surprised too at how badly the cartel is doing but just like with pirate software the more gaslighting and retarded arrogance they project, everyone else just reacts negatively and they keep doubling down endlessly. This is how we erode their strength while increasing our own.

I hate being lied to and so does the public!

As predicted by many of us watching the slippery slope slide by the second, it appears GTA6 is going to get precensored, watered down, and will include extensive age-verification. Even if the effect is purely passive, they now have a major incentive to dumb themselves down and to be less creative and controversial. They might even benefit as major player at the expense of indies. This is why the corpos love these barriers to entry - it lets them keep their BS monopoly.

I guess in the new world they flag your controversial achievements to the police. He killed 100 virtual hookers! What a demon! That's practically the same as doing it to real people.

>>937961911
Or they could have just been more capitalist and free market and not cared and artificially reduced their legal business for moral reasons. Even libertarians want them broken up. Cartels and monopolies screw people.

>>937962857
I think it may have been part of a longer term Blackrock plot to blackmail and screw valve in order to do some kind of hostile takeover. Many understand how critical Valve is in the long term for cultural control and as a money printing business.

Read and learn. Be frugal. Avoid debt. Live below your means. It reduces their power and increases your own.

This has all happened before. You'll win. You'll celebrate. And then they'll quietly do it anyway a week later with minor wording changes, the same way they did last time this happened. The only way to fight corporations is with violence.

>>937967028
>The only way to fight corporations is with violence.

That's clearly untrue. There are many ways to fight a corporation. We are fighting them legally, financially, and in the court of public opinion. Within those areas there are many pressure points.

We will win, defeat the cartel, neuter them, get our free speech back and then roll our fury onward into the greater movement against these forces want to censor and control everything like a bunch of psychos.

Violence is a last resort and unnecessary when we hold the moral high ground. If it truly comes to the point where the cartel somehow wants to declare war on all the nations of earth, that's not going to work. They have almost no direction military power. There are some very evil people here that deserve serious consequences but they are old AF so violence is not a good strategy. I want to make them cry, not die. It will break our perfect coalition if some acts rashly. I can't say what will happen in coming decades but the foreseeable future violence is an unacceptable option. Violence, no - physical action, yes! If a whole bunch of cartel property is vandalized that is unfortunate for them but specific care must be taken not to hurt anyone.
