Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

MODERATORS
IIRC nomadic peoples like the Huns actually had a society based on communal property. It was closer to a conservative take on anarcho-syndicalism than today's system.
They are squarely right of Attila.
Very little is known about the Hunnic culture, so it is not really possible to establish this with any certainty. That being said, it's pretty typical for pastorial nomads like this to collectively own and care for their herd. Although it's also worth noting that communal property does not usually extend between different tribes, even when these tribes were united to some extent, such as under Attila.
In general it's difficult to fairly place ancient tribal societies into the modern day political spectrum. The structure and scale of societies has changed radically.
