Really highlights the fact that any free speech and naive western sense of freedom in these walled garden is just a button press away from being taken away and that there are no rules or standards. Whenever the owners or their friends feel even slightly displeased, annoyed or god forbid afraid the masks go off and the hammer falls.
They’ve been getting away with their class-war for so long any deviation from norms is alarming. Usually we just talk about black vs white, right vs left, etc.
Except freedom of speech only applies to the government. You can’t yell from your neighbor’s front lawn either if they don’t want you to.
That said, the fact police were sent is BS.
Here’s an image of the playing cards, for anyone who just came to the comments.
With the target on the back, no shit this was removed lmao
No idea why nobody linked it yet, but you can buy them here: https://www.comradeworkwear.com/products/the-playing-cards
Thankfully no one cares when Forbes posts their hit list every year.
The fucking banks refused to let him take payments.
They’ll do that at the drop of a hat these days. It’s been a slippery slope since WikiLeaks.
That’s fucking bullshit.
Another reason why crypto is the future: to free us from the control of banks.
I think the cards are hilarious but they have something the other referenced sets (Iraqi, COVID) do not: silhouette targets on the back.
I am by no means defending their removal but cards but maybe don’t give them a plausible excuse to remove them by implying that these cards are for shooting??
Yeah. Threats are speech that attracts repercussions.

Well, yeah, platforms (unless otherwise specified) are for-profit. Anything that would impede their profit stream is naturally going to be censored so that profit can continue uninterrupted.
Can’t have some idiot poor going around making richoids uncomfortable, they’d just pull their money, and that would mean less money going to the platforms.
Step 1: profit. Step 2: profit. All other steps: profit. EZPZ
This story goes way beyond that. The police have been harassing him as well.
It’s one thing to ban him from your own platform. It’s another to make sure no one else can choose to do business with him either.
CEOs are all the rage these days, but hear me out here - shareholders?
I agree… What is it like 10% own 90% of the stock market, 1% own 50% or something like that? Major shareholders are the real evil oligarchy… CEOs are just shills they hire to take the bullet, same as politicians but paid better… I’d love to see some playing cards for the real oligarchy… But it’s pretty hard to really track them because they hide behind corporations and shit
Really just anyone with a certain amount of wealth should be forced to redistribute that wealth or face dire consequences.

So where can these be purchased rn? I got crypto
The site comrade workwear opens with them on the front page, i was curious what type of workwear they had after this article.
I’m looking for a replacement for dickies and another one, their quality has been absolute ass lately. €100 work jeans that get holes in them in a matter of days, those are not work jeans anymore.
Thanks, that’s what I get for skimming the post
At least you got your answer aye, that’s what matters haha

I like the pockets from most work pants and hammer hook.
I had some good experience with Jobman 2200 pants, but the last 2 that i bought gave me a similar experience to the Dickies.

Maybe check out Duluth Trading Company?
Aw heck, American website?
It won’t allow me to open it, which has been happening more often with American sites lately.
Ah, sorry, I was myopic in my response. Hopefully you find something good soon.
Just highlights once more that we are ruled and suppressed by the rich.
Oof, the back of those cards is designed as a shooting target. So much for plausible deniability.
Probably technically falls under free speech regardless.
No different from the dozens of other targets made as targets with the face of political figures centered as the bullseye, imo. If one is fine, it’s all fine.
See who you are not allowed to criticise and you will see who rules you.
