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
I genuinely believe that most of the people who argue against socialism/communism like this have absolutely no idea what they actually are. Anything that isn't the status quo is immediately labeled socialism (communism if it's really different) and that means it's bad.
You're a better person than me. I would have refused to have any political conversations with a person like that a long time ago.
By all means, keep giving the worst people on the planet the benefit of the doubt
Que?
I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt. I'm calling them out as uneducated. They're victims of American propoganda.
You're getting the people who make the propaganda confused with the people who are targeted by the propaganda
If they are fuckwits on THAT level and the rest of you can’t manage to stop or outmaneuver them, that doesn’t really reflect well on “the resistance,” such as it is.
What the fuck are you talking about?
