That's up to the bank to decide, isn't it?

Seems like it should be pretty easy to articulate if there was anything legit, but I would just avoid answering too.

That's a lot of words to say that you support authoritarian proposals against those you hate.

Those stupid conservatives have to bake those cakes, though!




I didn't say I support massive restrictions, in fact I'm largely ok with the right to refuse service laws as they are, maybe a few changes on the margins, but I said this is the other side to the coin of nearly unlimited corporate rights to deny service.

The same rights that are cheered on when a baker or pharmacist denies service based on moral grounds is the same argument JP Morgan or the restaurant that denied Trump staffers can use to justify theirs. Same Twitter has to not platform people that abuse their subjective standards, or Truth social when they do for theirs.

You would have to ask the bank. I am not the bank's spokesperson and do have inside information about the bank's decision making.

If jp Morgan started dropping clients because they put BLM or save Ukraine on social media, you would be crying like a 2 year old girl

If ye would just repent and make a few videos glorifying rape, sexual deviance and gun violence they would welcome him back with a ceremony in Times Square.

Guarantee you the majority of folks cheerleading this move by Chase saying they have the right because they're a private company are the same ones who thought that baker should have been forced to bake that cake

Another corporation turning away billions in business bc of wokeness. In all honesty, who is really “attached” to their bank? Kanye, will just go to another bank. JP Morgan is the one who gets the short end of this stick.

This should be a lesson, when you use the courts to turn corporations into "people," and super broadly defend their right to discriminate based on their "beliefs," or for "moral" or "religious" reasons, or really anything but some narrow protected classes(that many would like to see the former be allowed to overrule), turns out, they are going to be able to use that for more than just denying a woman plan b pills, or making them a cake, for better or worse...They can even then decide to fund billion dollar campaigns to smear you. Afterall, they are people too amirite conservatives???



Can we try again, in English?

Just to be clear, being against anti-Semitism or disassociating with it is now considered "wokeness" and is bad?

No thoughts on what could possibly drive this decision other than wrong think?
