"someone (Jeremy) had the audacity to criticize someone (Christine)and Criticism is Not Harassment no matter how some people wish to construe it as such."
Jeremy went far beyond objective criticism and publicly persecuted Christine for nearly a year. He may not have personally hounded her with hateful private messages, but his actions directly resulted in months of direct online harassment from his fan base. You can't seriously look at all the crap Jeremy said and not call it harassment. When you hold that much influence over such a large congregation of people, you have a basic responsibility to not give them the idea that these sorts of heinous actions are socially acceptable. He could have easily criticized Christine without his plethora of disparaging personal remarks against her, and without encouraging thousands of his followers to constantly flame her. The fact that he did do these things, and unapologetically so, is what makes it harassment.
"The protests, mobs, riots all a sign that someone is incapable of accepting the opinion of others."
You mean accepting the opinion that bullying, harassing, and dehumanizing innocent human beings is okay? Yeah no, that sort of mentality has no place in our society, and entertaining that line of thinking will only hold us back as a species.
"someone who disagreed with the Nazi party during there rain ended up at best in a concentration camp at worst with a bullet in there head."
If you think the experience of a Nazi concentration camp is the best case scenario compared to a quick and painless death, then I can't even fathom how detached you are from reality. I encourage you to quantum-leap into the body of an emaciated Jewish concentration camp prisoner circa 1944 and ask yourself, "Is this better than not suffering at all?"
"but the moment you stop respecting the opinion of others and start attacking, harassing them, posting there personal info and calling for a public lynching joust because thy sad something you don't agree with, that is the point I stop respecting you, that is the point you have become a Nazi"
Is that not exactly what Jeremy did?
"people can not differentiate between Nazi and centre right"
Actually, as the years have progressed, our Overton Window has been shifting steadily to the right. Democratic socialism (a mild leftist ideology) has become regarded as far-left, and centrism has become regarded as center-left. On the other side, traditional conservatism has shifted to the center of America's political spectrum, with semi-fascist ideologies occupying the moderate- to far-right.
In other words, the more that neo-Nazi ideologies become normalized and accepted as a valid political platform, the closer the center right drifts toward Nazism.
I don't call right-thinkers Nazis. I call Nazis Nazis. I know a lot of Trump voters with opinions that I strongly disagree with, and I don't call them Nazis because they're not Nazis. They don't believe in things like a one-party government or ethnic cleansing or the removal of basic human rights (except maybe health care, but that's an entirely different can of worms), so I can't in good conscience call them Nazis.
Do I think Jeremy is a Nazi? Not at the moment, because he hasn't shown me any reason to think he's a Nazi. But I do think he's a scumbag with a startling lack of empathy for other humans, and that his career as a psychologically abusive and hate-mongering content creator should be completely and utterly destroyed.

That was already confirmed last week when they listed Immersturm as one of the ten realms
I'm assuming the additional mana is also S, because it's generated by a snow source (this enchantment).
*proceeds to share in detail how Niko's backstory is representative of and inspired by nonbinary gender identity*"
I don't think it's a bad thing, and it doesn't bug me, but I just found it kinda funny.
Ah yes, a magical christmas land pipe dream scenario means that they made a mistake with the design of this card.
The card seems quite good.
"Available basically &#^%ing everywhere – February 5"
"They live here. It's $#%ing *$&#()."
"We're also going to see and meet some pretty bad@$$ Planeswalkers."
This is so horribly cringey and awful. "Hey guys, let's use symbols to denote censored swear words! We're so rugged and cool and METAL!"
I am already aware of this, thanks
This was already well known, though? You’ve even acknowledged it in other threads?
No you can’t, because Expropriate exiles itself upon resolution.
Well then it sure is a good thing that people can simply buy the cards that they want off of some kind of secondary market instead of foolishly cracking hundreds of packs in the narrow hopes of opening those cards themselves, right? :) :)
My point is, you might not necessarily open the ones you want, but other people definitely will. And many of those will be put up for sale or trade, which will make them plentiful and readily available. As I stated before, people are going to open this set like crazy. It's going to be a unique drafting experience, which will incentivize a lot of Limited and EDH players to draft it more than normal, even with paper Magic seeing less play due to COVID. On top of that, lots of people love to open collector boosters and resell the contents that they don't want, which will add even more supply to the market.
My guy, these packs are going to get opened like crazy. You really think that these C16 partner reprints are going to be that prohibitively expensive?
You've devoted quite a few posts in this thread to complaining about the availability and distribution of these cards.
Although I suppose devotion is in keeping with your Theros-centric persona.
They even put etched foils into regular draft boosters, so I honestly don't know why you're complaining this much
"Hey let's introduce this set full of landfall and other land-based interactions, I wonder how they'll adapt to Uro?"
"Gee, all of these decks are actually incorporating Uro, because it helps them survive the early game, draws them a card, gives them access to a recursive late-game threat, AND gives them extra land drops, which is what their deck cares about?"
"Who could have possibly predicted this?"
"-surprised pikachu face-"
Uro filled a unique role in the deck, and without him these ramp decks will be far less dominant. Uro provided both the acceleration and longevity needed for these decks to reach their late game, gave them a replacement card to work with, and sat in the graveyard to come back later in the game as a huge beater that generated insane amounts of value. Azusa won't be anywhere near Uro in terms of serving as a viable replacement, because she doesn't fill the same role. The deck will still be great, but it will definitely have more trouble surviving to the late game.
