has anyone questioned who is behind all this age verification all over the place, including forcing the credit card bans of the games, on one reddit post, someone said russel vought is behind all of this, but i cant find anymore info other than the post.
The American led world is clearly losing its position as the global leader. These supposedly free societies are clamping down, because their economic situation is getting more dire, and because discontent will be arising naturally out of that and they know.
This is the natural conclusions of a ruling class at odds with humanity and at odds with our class, the working class.
The credit card game bans are all coming from one Australian Religious group.
Similar Astroturf groups are being used to create fake grassroots community groups to PrOtEcT tHe ChIlDrEn.
I think it's not so true. MasterCard wanted an excuse to do this anyways. You can tell because the bigger backlash does not sway them at all.
I think there is an ounce of truth in that, but Corporations don’t “want” things. Investors want dividends and ROI. Executives want golden handshakes. Employees want a pay cheque.
Someone is financing the Astroturf campaigns. Someone is directing who they lobby.
It's a cooperation between:
It’s literally neither of those lol.
Governments are doing this because they want control and they want to know all the stuff that Google and Apple etc know. It’s got nothing to do with religion or big tech lol.
It just happens that those people pushing for it happen to be extremely religious. Nothing to see here, if we ever got our rights back and not everything will go to crap, we don't have to set up provisions so that a small religious extremist minority cannot get hold on our governments. In fact, those christian extremists weren't "real christians", they just pretended to be one, because my interpretation of the bible only include the good parts and I ignore the bad parts.
In sue what world you’re living in, but in the one where these digital id laws are being pushed in all the big western countries, the anti-Christian governments are all in power.
The USA are the only one where the extremely religious Christian’s have any real power and they’re the only country pushing back.
What exactly are you basing your argument on?
It's 100% the WEF.

Can you not read? WEF - not JEW.
