Chase Bank Now Routinely Closing the Personal Bank Accounts of Conservatives

#MuhPersonalBusinessDecisions, the Corporate "Cons" lisped.

John Hawkins has had enough:

[I]ncreasingly monopolistic social media companies that have an inordinate amount of control over who gets heard and who doesn't have started actively targeting conservatives and we just shrug or spout platitudes.

"If you don't like the way they do it, take on those monopolies with hundreds of millions of users and billions in cash by building your own company."

So, what happens when banks and credit card companies target people for their political views? Do we need to build our own banks, too?

Activist Laura Loomer, who has already been banned by PayPal, claims she had her account suspended by Chase Bank.

Enrique Tarrio, the black leader of the Proud Boys, a group that has laughably been branded a white supremacist organization by liberals, was also suspended by Chase. So was Martina Markota. And Joe Biggs, who made enough of a stink that Chase reluctantly gave him his account back.


....

Certainly, there are an awful lot of liberals who would love to see us enter a world [in which banks demanded proof of political correctness before providing services]. In fact, there was a column in the New York Times last year calling for weaponizing the financial industry in exactly this way to shut down the gun industry as part of an effort to deny Americans their Second Amendment rights.

..

Republicans in the Senate should demand that Chase executives come before them and answer some hard questions about targeting customers for their political views. Maybe we need to rewrite banking regulations to make sure this kind of discrimination can't occur....

You may have heard someone say, "the Constitution is not a suicide pact." I would add to that "capitalism is not a suicide pact." Breaking up monopolies is a conservative idea with a long track record.

Part of the problem is that the left has made it its top priority to infiltrate/pressure corporations to advance the left's goals -- including the goal, now, of complete censorship and discrimination against conservatives -- while Corporate Cucks declare that any pressure exerted by the right to merely not act as the left's censorship police is an unconscionable assault on the cherished principle of Corporate Autonomy.

These idiots, and frankly, these bribe-taking grifters, do not realize that there is no "corporate autonomy;" the left has created shareholder lobbying groups to push corporations into acting as the catspaws of the hard, Maoist left. The right's refusal to engage on this battlefield does not result in corporations having full autonomy to pursue their own self-directed business interests; the right's refusal to engage on this battlefield merely cedes the battle to the left, and permits corporations to be pressured and hijacked by the left.

Just because you're not interested in the culture war, doesn't mean the culture war isn't interested in you -- and that applies even more strongly to corporations than to to people, because corporations are how the left achieves policy objectives it cannot achieve through electoral political victories.
