"I suspected it had something to do with my involvement in a certain group named after a certain slavery abolitionist."

What's the group? I clicked on the link and it points to a podcast that's over 1.5 hours long.




The only one I could think of would be the John Brown Gun Club. One of their members committed a terrorist attack on an ICE facility back in 2019 so perhaps that's why PayPal flagged the post author.
