We should really be talking about Ron Paul because as a test plaintiff Parker is awful. Per their CEO, law firms, banks and payment providers, mail and texting services have also cancelled on them.
By that point, what would having your own tech stack do? How do you even collect revenue when banks and payment providers cancel on you? This is the power of freedom of association at work, the power behind cancellation.
Indeed - Ron Paul is not so much the "canary in the coalmine" - this is the whole mining crew succumbing to the toxic fumes!
Even for people who don't agree with his libertarian politics, there's no arguing that he is anything short of an uncommonly decent man. He's certainly the closest I've ever seen anyone come to being the mythical "honest politician." So of course they're attacking him...
What? He wrote a whole bunch of extremely racist op-eds about how black people are inferior and slavery was a boon to them. Your post is a lot of dissembling nonsense.
That seems unlikely. Do you have links to any reliable primary sources, if they haven't been conveniently censored?
I have a hunch that any "extremely racist" comments may have been more to the effect that although slavery was very bad indeed, there might have been better ways to dismantle it than by half the country fighting the other half [0], which is a sentiment worth considering in the context of current events.
