Payment processors have too much power.

Visa and Mastercard have been on a censorship kick, picking and choosing what we can buy and sell online based on their own arbitrary values. Censoring the free market and our freedom of expression.

Is there anything we can do to combat this?

Can they realistically be boycotted?

I'm less interested in alternative payment options and more interested in removing the power to censor from these people.

Why shouldn't they?
This is what free market capitalism looks like.

Lets use cryptocurrency, goys. Buy XRP goys. And also monero for the real crypro.

Everything starts with nuking israel

Use cash, and barter with private businesses for discounts.

The businesses can then under report their earnings, and avoid federal taxes.

This will boost your local economy, and reduce card exploitation.

don't use them
>Can they realistically be boycotted?
by you? almost certainly not.

>>511151338
No? A handful of rich assholes arbitrarily telling me what I can and can't buy isn't a free market.

You can buy whatever you want. You just can't use their company to help you

Great can he make his own company
>well no regulation in that field means he’s not allowed

Does my country's flag mean no censorship?

This is a problem with corruption within the government, not a problem with the free market.

People already know this, and no one is going to die on a hill that involves generic asset trash games about rape and abusing women getting pulled from steam

Nips are apparently working on it. Wait and hope.

It's the jews, and you know it.

It's the jews , blackrock, vanguard, kern group, yada yada yada, all jewish operations, they hold the world in their hand and force their messianic bullshit through every single psyop and subversive fake streisand effect to push everyone toward 1 of the 3 abrahamic retarded dogmas.

All they do, is push every narrative to scare the shit of people to retreat into one of the controlled op abrahamic retarded religions, all you see is performatively financed and directed for this. all of it.

Once you understand that, you know how not to play their little game of power : getting out of of every single of their controlled op retarded religions.

there's gotta be some way to sue them for acting against their best interest (and thus shareholders' - including us if anyone has even a shred of the S+P500 or similar) by lopping off profitable revenue streams

Cash. If everyone started exclusively using cash for all payments, the system completely collapses.

make your own payment system :)

This is a problem of a corrupt free market that directly increases governmeng corruption.

Just start you own credit system. With blackjack and hookers.

It means your country has it's period

The best option we have is Monero. The problem is getting people to adopt it. But for what it's worth, Monero's transaction fees are at least lower than most payment processors!

Paypal: 3.49% + $0.49. Many other payment processors have a similar % + fixed fee structure.

Monero: Varies. $0.001 (1/10 of 1 cent) as lowest and average cost. $0.96 as the highest cost (priority).

By not relying on them.

You don't. There's not enough people willing to protest in the streets until politicians pass laws to regulate payment processors in ways that prevent them from picking who can and can't use their utility-esque monopoly.

That's what it would take, and most people won't take time out of their lives to do that.

Privacy is the best part about it

>>511151619
That's what visa and mastercard are trying to force you to do because they were lobbied to do so.
>bootlicking for credit card companies
No thanks

>>511154456
Monero might get more traction if it were easier to acquire anonymously. I mean, privacy is its primary selling point and you can't buy it on an exchange with submitting a detailed personal bio and a semen sample.
IIRC from the last time I looked into Monero the websites that facilitate private acquisition were mysteriously shut down or otherwise hobbled for that purpose.

Regulation is the only way to fix this. No other solution is sufficiently practical, and they should be regulated even if there were viable alternatives.

>>511151178 (OP)
There should be laws that forces credit card companies to not restrict any transactions as long as they're legal. The same rules should apply to tech companies to prevent censorship. Preserving liberty and people's rights is the whole point of a government.

It's too late for that, anon. You idiots are too deep in their game to just up and walk away from it.
Unless you're willing to let your debt default and ruin your credit, you are a slave to the credit card companies.
I took the credit hit and let my debts default. Biden gibs saw those debts forgiven, with the majority of the red marks on my credit score passing the limitation so they can no longer be reported. I am back up to a nice comfy 700+ credit score again, with absolutely zero interest in playing their game.

That's the only way you will ever win against the financial institutions of the day, anon. Rebel, rebel, rebel.

wtf

>>511155720
Yes, that's why I recommend Monero over any other crypto currency. But the fact that its transaction cost is so low can be used as an incentive for people who care less about privacy.
