Some far-right activists and conspiracy theories are advocating against card-payments and for cash, and it's pissing me off (lemmy.ml)

It's discrediting valid concerns against card-payments. It's invalidating how great cash is.

It's when the worst person you know makes a good point.

And things now are so Culture-Wars-y, nobody makes solid analyses any more, that when the far-right say cards are bad, everybody jumps to thinking cards are good.
