That is the problem with conservative-valued corporations — they make themselves more convenient, and unfortunately, they're good at it.
If you read up on your history, before the Nazis started killing people — back before they embraced full public hate on all levels — they infiltrated industry, goods, and services. They built themselves not just political clout, but consumer clout too, which in turn gave them a lot of financial capital, but also made it harder to avoid them.

@Tempest@burningboard.net @jpoesen@social.jpoesen.com I see where you're coming from historically. I'm not personally on board with the idea that Stripe giving money to DHH's Linux distro is a step towards fascism though. I think he's an asshole, but I also think the public freakout over his crappy opinions is a fair bit overblown. Certainly wouldn't be willing to retool corporate payment systems because the processing company gave some cash to an ass, that would immediately disqualify most large financial institutions.
