See, this isn't viable.
This is the "ban plastic straws" of late stage capitalism. Overrepresenting individual action to distract from the need of structural reform.
Stop voting with your wallet, it's pointless. Consumption is not expressing support. Vote with your votes, if you're in a place where you have a chance to do so, find other ways to organize collective action if you don't.
The two are not mutually exclusive...
People can take direct action
People can organized and act as a group in solidarity.
Stop voting with your wallet, it's pointless.
Yes... consume like a brain dead idiot, esp follow shiti marketing campaigns online, deff make sure you buy that trash 🤡
And remember... "voting" is how we got here in the first place.
Americans don't understand what going into proper opposition means. hint, it aint voting for the "other" guy

Zelle is separate right?
From wikipedia
Zelle (/zɛl/) is a United States–based digital payments network run by a private financial services company owned by the banks Bank of America, Truist, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, PNC Bank, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo.
So PayPal does not seem to own an interest in Zelle, but the group of owners isn't necessarily better than PayPal.

You literally cannot escape these companies, they own everything. Every brand of every everything, and you've got a large corporation in there somewhere in the shadows. That's why they tell you to separate the art from the artist, because it's been made impossible to boycott anything.

This site provides absolutely no evidence of any of its claims and even includes the following little gem in the FAQ section on that page:
Is PayPal Safe?
Yes, all Paypal transactions are encrypted. Plus, it has two-factor authentication and fraud protection.
Safe for its customers, or safe for PayPal?
