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
Right, the guy who rants about immigrants having "bad genes" and lies about them eating people's pets as a way to dehumanize them is totally not a fascist.
The guy who attempted a putsch to secure power outside of democratic channels is certainly not a fascist.
The guy trying to provoke his neighbors into a territorial dispute and threatening to "annex" countries for natural resources is totally not a fascist.
The guy who is enriching his corporate cronies while they consolidate power for the regime is definitely not a fascist (nor is the guy doing Nazi salutes at his inauguration).
The guy rounding people up with a secret police force and sticking them in camps can't possibly be a fascist.
The guy demonizing anything to the left of white nationalism as communism/socialism isn't a fascist.
No way the guy who was denounced by his own VP as "America's Hitler" is a fascist.
And therefore the people who support him can't be fascist!
That's a pretty smart take you've got there.
You forgot "the guy who is calling for his political opponents to be killed or deported isn't a fascist".
