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.

The US loves outsourcing things so much, we even outsource our fascism!
🎵 Watch out, Europe. We're going on tour!
Lemme just sharpen my pitchfork real quick
Don't forget the torches! It's not just for ambiance. The dull redish-orange glow underlighting an angry face helps drive the point home with dramatic flair.
I'm European, not American. Of course I have torches. How else would I find my way once the nightly dark covers the land? I've heard about eelcricity, but I ran out of eels, and I think they were the wrong type.
Yeah, I inferred that from the context, and I hope no offense was taken.
I like the bit about the eels. Sounds like something Terry Pratchett would write.
