Patreon, or maybe we should call them Patronizing Nannies, is in all the news lately.
Well, maybe not the MSM, because i don't watch that brain poison, but most of the channels i follow on ThemTube are talking about it.
Patreon has been banning people i like for well over a year, so i wasn't surprised when this wagon caught up with me. They have never been about free speech and they have always been about taking more and more from the artists. Just like fleebay, whenever they said, "great news, we have made our services better", they always meant that you will pay a bigger percentage.
However, this recent kicking of Sargon of Akkad off the platform has brought out a lot of videos criticizing Patreon for their un-business-like practices. One said, "They are acting like a _____, instead of acting like the bank that they are." And this is where i would like to correct everyone's thinking.
It is not about money, It is about control!
period. full stop.
The MSM, the banks, the payment processors, social media and even the advertisers are all controlled by the globalists.
It has been said that 90% of what you see and hear is controlled by them, and that is no joke.
Control of the flow of information. Control of the narrative is of utmost importance.
They do not care about money; they have all the money in the world.
What they care about is control. And they will spend any amount of money to keep that control.
They will write new laws, pass new legislation to keep control.
They will buy up companies if they ever get to big and vie for control. (and you will sell)
So, Patreon should have backed off immediately when they saw their supporters dropping through the floor. Down 30% is what some people are saying. If they were a company about profits, they would have turned around 180, instantly, and apologized profusely for their errors. But, they didn't. They doubled down, and said they would continue. This should tell you, they are not about profits, they are about control.
Jordon Peterson and others are looking at creating a "Patreon" of their own.
What they do not realize is that such an entity won't be allowed to exist.
And soon, people like Sargon of Akkad is going to find that he can't even have a bank account.
If you do not know, that is not YOUR money in the bank. You gave it to the bank, and at their whim, they may give it back to you. You can go read it in the document you signed when you opened your bank account. It is no longer your money! Why do you think that banks would pay for you to have direct deposit?
The next step after Patreon is that these people won't be able to find payment processors, and after that, they won't be able to have banks.
It is about control. And the globalists will go to any lengths to maintain control.
Of course, the solution is obvious to all on this platform, the only problem is paying your rent with cryptos.
But soon, that won't be a problem, the problem will be finding someone who will take a check for the rent.
Since I have eschewed banks for ten years now, I have found other means of paying for essential services like rent, phone time, and etc. It this trend continues, I may have to get more inventive, as much of what I do depends on other people with bank accounts.
Still, I am not going to use banks myself. If necessary I will go back to living in the woods, which I did for a few years. It was somewhat awkward getting internet access, but it's actually getting easier to do that of late.
Looking forward a few years, and I suspect they may be trying to create an underclass of the unbanked, which they will persecute just so that those feeling the pain of their control mechanisms see clearly what will happen to them if they don't keep running in the hamster wheel.
That's assuming that they can persecute folks enough to make them regret not paying the banksters. I'm pretty sure they can't do that to me, because I so deeply regret paying them that I'd literally rather give up my meatbag than ever pay them again.
If they do such a thing, it will be good for me, because new mechanisms will become available as better minds than mine work out how to get things done, and it will make finding good people easier, since they'll be the ones suffering the persecution, rather than doing the persecuting.
Sort the sheep from the goats for me.
Thanks!

Me too.
I find myself building things for people, so that they will use their amazonium connections to buy me stuff, and other such.
What is going to be interesting about these upcoming years is... an analogy:
The banksters have built a great big boat... lets call it the Titanic.
And they have gotten all of their worstest enemies, and most of humanity (useless eaters) to get on board. So, out in the middle of the ocean the bombs detonate ripping a gash in the side and the "unsinkable" ship is sinking.
But, instead of going down with the ship, as the banksters are expecting, some crafty sailors are building a flying saucer out of bits and parts from whatever they can salvage. So, instead of sinking, these people are leaving in a style and comfort that wasn't even dreamed of.
What i feel sadness about is that many people will go down with the ship, even though the people in the flying saucer are beckoning them to join.

LOL good analogy!
I particularly like it when my neighbors make me chocolate chip cookies. It's not even possible to buy fresh baked home made cookies, so I reckon I'm not only avoiding surveillance, graft, and corruption when I trade work for them, I'm getting a product that simply isn't available otherwise.
Good deal.

I truly hope you're right and that the crypto we pay our rent with isn't also run by a bank.

It will happen. Cryptos are just that much better than bankster money.
The only way it doesn't happen is that Cryptos-2.0 comes out first. Then, we will all use Crytos-2.0 instead.

The joyous thing about cryptos is there really isn't any infrastructure to build out.
The only thing needed is for wholesalers and consumers to start using it.
A wallet takes seconds to set up, and then you can start accepting payments right away.
However, an enterprise level wallet would be nice.
