Calls to boycott tech company Stripe after CEO posts about recent visit to Israel
Irish-American billionaire Patrick Collison is under fire after posting on X about his run in Tel Aviv, not far from Gaza war
Good luck boycotting Stripe
I'm trying to find out a list of companies using stripe and I think it would be easier to list ones not using it... What I'm getting is basically any time I spend money online, and sometimes in person, they get a cut
Cool I'll boycott them by moving into a cave underground.
so basically he didnt actually do anything boycott worthy. he just had a bunch of perpetually online lefties and righties throwing a tantrum on twitter
Dunno why you're getting down voted.
I visited Israel 10-odd years ago for work and I loved it. Beautiful country and people... if you ignore all the politics. As with the US.
What I hated while there was the demonisation of everything Palestinian. It's like a cult: if you don't agree, you're one of them. (Get fucked).
It's the timing.
Israel is currently engaged in a genocide. Some guy talking about how much they love all the beautiful things about Germany in 1942 would get down voted to hell too.
these beautiful people are doing a genocide lol
I have family in Israel and have been there several times. I liked it there. I liked how all the signs were trilingual and the food was excessively good. I don’t however approve of the Israeli government or how they’ve gone about this conflict.
Does this make me a bad person in other peoples eyes?
Yeah,I had this discussion in other subs but let's say that I was less successful
So you'd rather use the platform run by treacherous robbers called PayPal ? So we can't use Stripe (ok fine) & we can't use PayPal, ok any suggestions ? Cuz I got one GNU-Taler

On one hand, screw this guy.
On the other hand, if I boycott Stripe I will need to boycott literally every single small business owner in the area, during the Christmas holiday season. These small businesses are what’s important in local economies, in putting food on the table for struggling businesses brave enough to going up against the Amazons and Walmarts of the world. These are the places you should be spending your money instead of giving Bezos another yacht.
Looks a bit insensitive but it's not even expressing support for Israel's war.
If Israel is a colonial project, any relationship fueling its economy is supporting the war. This includes touristic activities, investments, any kind of business.
The BDS movement worked against South Africa because it was totalizing and any chance to suffocate the Israeli colonial project must go through the same strategy.
He expressed support by making an avoidable visit. Just like I would express support to the wife beater in my neighborhood by having lunch with him.
