I’d like to take the moderate path, because I’m a history major and I know what the alternatives are.

My family who support Trump will say they were against this.
They will say they never supported what is happening.

Only time will tell if they say that while dragged into the death machine they helped build and fuel, or if good prevails and they're saying it to mask their hate again from society.

We're part of the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians and you'd think knowing the horrors Indians endured by the U.S. would have them pause in some way. Instead, they knowingly voted for those horrors.

My dad tells other natives, "you all look the same".

You cannot reason with people like this.

They didn't talk like that openly though. Not until Trump gave them the green light and their views became increasingly worse.

I've come to realize that if I wasn't related to them they'd want me deported for not being born in the U.S. and not sharing their views.

Some family gathering talk I grew up with was to let people die crossing, shooting people setting up water stations, and running over protestors. Families on food stamps are failures, unless it was one of us because "we actually need it".

They don't care about you.

I will never forgive or forget my family members who support this fascist.

They support starving children.
They support ripping healthcare away from millions.
They support abducting people.
They support concentration camps.

Be cautious around anyone with my last name.

Mastercard has reached the stage of desperately trying to gag people for saying bad things about them

WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WORKING

Lol. Called Visa just a moment ago and was asking why I can't purchase games and the associate said it was illegal activity. I said I didn't know what I was doing is illegal! Why is Steam doing illegal activities?! The associate then started reading from a long script really fast. I couldn't...

...giving me answers and it sounds like they think I'm a criminal. She just kept repeating to email with my concerns and can't say why the previous associate hung up on me.
I said I'd feel better to speak with someone there who can say I'm not doing illegal activity and got hung up on again.

Called back and said I was hung up on and didn't catch what the last representative said because she spoke so fast and seemed annoyed.
This associate kept saying to reach out via email and to not call back with concerns related to this manner.
I said that they have me worried now and they're not...

...understand what she was saying. After that she said she's no longer going to engage with me any more now that she stated what was going on. I asked for a case number and she then immediately hung up.

What a bunch of cowards. Going to call back and complain I was hung up on.

If anyone suggested I use "AI" for art or writing I would cave their skull in with a fire extinguisher

Guide I followed when I contacted Visa. Took about 10 minutes.

Be polite to the associate that answers, but assertive in that a payment processing company has no right to dictate what you can and cannot buy with your money.

I called up Visa and used your initial message as a guide. Took about 10 minutes. I was told to email them too at askvisa@visa.com with the same warning of no personal info.

Associate on the phone was understanding.

...Can't believe I'm having to do shit like this.

That point needs to be now.

I'm guilty of this, but coddling folks with right wing mindsets must end. It's especially difficult when it's loved ones preaching such heartlessness, but it must be done.

The only language conservatives understand is cruelty and we need to become proficient in it.

Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

Of course! Glad to help. 😃

Hey! I'd checkout ProtonVPN or Mullvad. I've used both and appreciate their stances on privacy.
ProtonVPN should have a free tier, but it's limited to one device.
