    Very possible for tech or digital services. As long as you’re not paying import tarifs to the government.

    Visa, Mastercard, Amex and PayPal should all be avoided as well. Pay cash where you can, crypto can be a workaround online.

      I hate how crypto can be a workaround (given how much energy it uses), but that said, idk which crypto would be the best for queer- and european friendly stuff. Iirc Ethereum uses a lot less energy, at least.

        I agree 100%. Not sure about its environmental impact, but due to it’s privacy focus I’ve used Monero before. Cash is ling either way.

        In Europe we have some local payment alternatives like Twint or soon Wero. The US also has Venmo and CashApp, not sure if they are suitable alternatives. At least CashApp has sponsored Drag Race in the past, so I would hope they don’t donate to the maga pedo clan.
