Paypal's actions are based on blatant opposition to the freedom of expression, opposition that until recently one thought belonged to the scrap heaps of history.
I would use a similar argument with people who were supportive of mandatory vaccinations. I would say to them that, even though they themselves might be happy with the product which was being mandated, one day it may be a product that THEY don't want injected into their body, and for this reason it was important to respect freedom of choice. I was never successful in getting them to see this point.
People are selfish in a base way, and this means they usually cannot place themselves in other people's shoes, cannot see beyond their immediate temporary interests which in this case are driven, among other things, by the need to be appreciated by others, and therefore by the fear of standing out in the crowd.
Thanks for sharing. This is going further than anyone would have suspected. It gets more and more difficult to brush aside the idea there's a conspiracy at play here.

We are witnessing ever increasing totalitarian and fascistic activity by Big Tech and sadly most people accept it and too often applaud it.
The applause worries me. So does the denial.
Three weeks ago, PayPal unpersoned me, too. I documented it in the updates section of my last post:
