MBFC

Do you have a less biased or more credible source for this fact check?

The Grayzone is worthy of valid criticism, but MBFC does not provide valid criticism, it is rightwing propaganda.

Having a disease named after you must be a real pain in the kirk.

Facing Worlds has to be one of the most defense-favored maps in CTF history.

So difficult to to breach into the enemy's fort, only a couple paths home, no cover, high prevalence of snipers.

In order to score, your team had to have full map control.

Because in US politics, we generally have three types of politicians: MAGA, corporate Republicans, and corporate Democrats.

Mamdani represents a possible fourth way, a way that (hopefully) values workers over capital.

When he says "billionaires shouldn't exist" he is re-affirming his commitment to this fourth way, and that is a important positive sign.

I'll be the pedantic one here and say it: Big Bird is wrong here, this is not wage theft.

Wage theft is unpaid wages, unpaid overtime, unpaid benefits, tip theft, etc.

If Big Bird is a Marxist, he should describe this type of theft as surplus labor value.

Or if Big Bird is a capitalist, he would just call it profit.

A tiny compnay called ComradeWorkwear tried to do this last year with their "Most Wanted CEO" playing cards.

In less than a week, their social media accounts were shut down, they were debanked, and they were visited by the police multiple times.

And perhaps worst of all, the playing cards were never released.

Now it appears most of the news stories about this incident have been scrubbed from the Internet.

I think most billionaires are not paying either of those taxes in any significant amounts.

Most follow the buy borrow die method. Then their children just have to pay estate tax.

Advanced tax cheats like Bill Gates take it one step further by creating their own charities. You give all your money to the "charity" and give your kids full control of the "charity". This way you can avoid paying estate tax, and you only need to give away a tiny percentage of your wealth to actual charities and PR firms to save face.

The difference is not the genre of game, but whether it is played in person or online.

In-person fighting game tournaments are generally free of cheaters, just like in-person FPS and MOBA tournaments. The few who try to cheat in these scenarios are quite obvious, and instantly caught.

Meanwhile, online fighting game tournaments are plagued by lag switches, macros, defensive overlays, frame data mods, etc.

So you're logically consistent, and in favor of banning the most dangerous drug - alcohol. Right?

Coffee is a diuretic, it is beneficial to the kidneys and hard on the stomach.

A large percentage of cats die from kidney issues, not many die from stomach issues. So coffee is good for cats makes sense imo.

The leaders of the New Atheist movement are not heroes; they are certainly imperfect. I agree with all of your criticisms, but you say nothing of the bulk of their work.

Hitchens' God is Not Great will stand the test of time; his Islamophobia will not.

Dawkins' The God Delusion is still correct, despite his late-in-life transphobia and "cultural Christianity".

Of course the US gives a shit about South Korea. Their economy is a source of profit for US capitalists, and their geography is a source of US military power.

The US defined South Korea's borders, and the US Military Government in Korea had massive influence on their Constitution. The US added anti-communist provisions and extreme protections for business.

For most practical purposes, South Korea is a US colony, and that is quite valuable.
