Should anyone really be surprised that Jersh once again got rejected by a payment processor?
Most credit card companies are hesitant to support what they consider as a high risk business (be it porn, jewelry, nuclear fuel, firearms, pawn shops, and other business of the like). Most credit card companies don't want to be that involved in business that pose as a liability for them (whether financial or legal).
Most payment processors don't want to be involved in high risk businesses either.
Most recently, credit card companies and payment processors cracking down on some Internet behavior; no credit card company and no payment processor anywhere in the world is going to support a platform that allows harassment and doxing because that is very high risk for any business involved in finances.
To be fair, this is nothing new. The private sector has always been pretty hesitant to support a business or an ideology deemed too edgy for your granddaddy; the only difference now is that we're seeing this phenomena happen on the Internet these days (debanking has always been a thing, it's just that the Internet has made people more aware of the issue of debanking at this point).
Just remember that the three letter agencies do arrest people for suspected terroristic threats or encouraging them.
Remember the 4channer that got arrested for saying how they wanted to kill a sheriff in Minecraft? That was later revealed to be a tasteless joke (Poe's Law) but it didn't matter that it was a joke, we still live in a post-9/11 and a post-Columbine world where these kinds of statements are taken very seriously now and days.
Now and days the glowies do monitor anyone who calls for any violent or terroristic threats against any high profile individuals.
It's really stupid on Jersh's part to call for the killing of rich people because the glowies don't want another Brain Thompson on their hands. So if there are any unmarked vans with a guy in a suit holding a receiver antenna show up at Jersh's house tomorrow then you know why they're there.

Isn't this incitement to violence?
