Thanks for pointing this out. I also shared a news story about Grok praising Hitler etc (since that is not simply “fun”) and they apparently blocked me for it.

These guys only survive by being taken seriously as reporters/thinkers/truth-tellers — which they are not. They’re fascist con artists. Interviewing them plays into the con.
My suggestion: do an expose with a clear thesis, and ask them for comment.

If OTM is like a vaccine against bad faith media, isn’t interviewing a “debate me” guy like fully onboarding the live virus instead?

Maybe worth a call to the credit card company first -- couldn't hurt, and much faster/cheaper than going to court.
Not surprised this was a Florida-based company. State law used to allow them to scam, but it looks like a new law may offer some help in small claims? www.tampabay.com/news/real-es...

New Florida law protects consumers from one kind of moving scam. Here’s what to know.
Moving brokers are no longer allowed to give estimates, and they must register with the state.

The (shady) industry has written some of the laws, and there were some legal bars our friends were wondering if they could clear. The credit card reversal ended up being a weird/surprising shortcut. Power to you!

I’m so sorry! This happened to a friend of mine. After getting their stuff back they did succeed in getting the extra charges reversed by a credit card company. RMMV

what in the Katz statement do you disagree with?
If Mamdani said... whatever-it-is-you-just-wrote... then I'd be worried too. But he didn't. You wrote some incoherent stuff and then critiqued it yourself.
Whether you intend it or not, you come off as concern trolling.

On principle I simply don’t endorse wishing violence on people, especially as a public joke. For a host of reasons including how wishing violence on people changes the *wisher*. On this point I think people should be careful for *spiritual* reasons, whether or not it’s simply expedient.
