Bank cancels account of feminist organisation critical of trans ideology

That was to be expected. To me that is a sign that dissent is severely necessary.

I don't have anything against trans people and I think they get quite some flak online. But part of it has to do with how gender topics get rammed into everyone's faces. Don't know anyone personally and I think there is certainly a craze where parents subject their children to certain expectations. If that is worse than putting them in beauty contests or any other perverse delegated-parent-self-fulfillment-program is another question of course.

But there is certainly ideological strong-arming on the topic of gender and this canceling isn't going to convince too many people I believe. I think they made their case that this isn't a topic that is discussed on merit. It has become some form of religion.

Would be interesting to know how put the rules on banks and remove the source of these ambitions to improve humanity. It is quite toxic.

bunq customers are allegedly disproportionately often victims of phishing attacks. Maybe a better bank would solve this particular issue.

All the criticism on Bitcoin would be a lot more reasonable if banks weren't increasingly unbanking dissidents (and central banks weren't printing civilization into poverty).

The window of acceptable speech is only going to narrow until everyone is toeing the party line in order to have access to food, shelter and banking. Until they introduce mandatory internet passports I will happily take the insane volatility of Bitcoin over kowtowing to stern ideologues advancing towards their goal of absolute conformity under the banner of tolerance. It's trans/feminism today and some arbitrary other thing tomorrow but the common denominator will always be exploiting our culture's unassailable values like tolerance, sexual freedom and racial guilt in order to justify any measure. Even if this appears to be a honest intervention for the betterment of society, it should be clear from the nature and trajectory of contemporary social justice activism that no amount of conformity will ever be satisfactory, and everyone will be crushed by this machine.

Banks offer essential services, it shouldn't be their place to judge their clients for anything other than solvency.

Unless there's legal requirement to do otherwise, anyone should be able to keep a bank account.
