  1. Just understand that the ESTABLISHMENT IS AGAINST YOU. Democrats and libtards have given up on POLICY,. Their POLICY is always aimed at controlling PROCESS and the unbelievably lame Jacqueline Hart's references to invisible "payment processors" (Note the root word "process.") and invisible reasons therefrom in the Matt Christiansen phone call show the tip of that iceberg. It sounds like Patreon's basically just complying with "processors" for their own survival. These people are too drunk on their own power to check themselves. Yes. This shit will boomerang on the leftists, but they're SO tribal and SO bent on winning every battle that they're setting themselves up to lose the war. But there's still a helluva struggle ahead for those who believe in Free Speech. This is basically Free Speech versus Free Stuff.

  2. A populist feature I hadn't noticed:s The content creators who rise up out of the oyster grass to become major YouTube presences have more than their share of patrons, but ALSO more than their share of the $1, $2 or $5 contributions from us "small folk." To stamp out the voice of the "small folk," it's easy to see who's getting all the 2s and fews, and I imagine those small donations are more cost and less profit from the payment processors. They don't like us small folk. We say mean things about bankers and our petty transactions cost more to process for what they pay. And there are so damn many of us. Anyway, just by tracking the pain-in-the-ass channels that have many SMALL contributions, they can zero in on most of the subversive voices after they start getting traction. The trouble from the banker's side is that as soon as they use this tactic, there are 2 more to take the last guy's place. They're in their own self-made version of Zombie Apocalypse, with all us small folk representing the zombies! It's like we are H.Y.D.R.A. Chop off one head, and 2 more appear. But they're doing everything they can to plug all the holes in their dam against free expression. And their contrrol of "process" is very tight, and we haven't heard the last of them, nor shall we. The best we can do is marginalize/minimize their effect. I think the FreeThinkers are only just beginning to realize how deeply embedded this perniciousness is and what it will take to keep the power in the people's hands. As we peel away the layers of the Patreon onion, we see that there will also be every obstruction possible set in the way of free speech, now by banking laws, regulations and so-called "best practices." Best practices are more about the culture of banking and culture tends to trump the formal rule sets (or quickly be codified in rule sets).

  3. Who'd've ever thought that bankers wouldn't like Free Speech?
