It wasn’t just the Red Scare. Black people were cancelled by default. Jews were tolerated, at best, and quota’d out of leadership roles. Women were functionally disallowed from being anywhere near whole classes of employment. Gay people wer

Immortal is being built with competitive 2v2 and 3v3 play specifically in mind in addition to 1v1 duels. It should be interesting to see how a pro-scene around that would play out. More combos, more team play, more personality clashes might

“They think” is the key word here. It’s usually informed by woefully misinformed understandings of history and science. That’s what makes it “gumption-based” rather than “evidence-based.” This is what differentiates the reactionary from the
