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.

I'm from Ireland, truly sorry that we've unleashed this cunt upon the world. It was always inevitable that he would get involved in the far-right grift, since he's fading to irrelevance. He's like an Irish Kanye, so far up his own arse he hasn't seen daylight in years.
Ra_ist arsehole (fill in the blank)
As an American, just know that you have nothing to apologize for, and our embarrassment is much worse.
If only the laws worked the way they do now (and my dad was still alive), I'd be getting my Irish citizenship and sharing your much milder embarrassment.
You can get it with proof of Irish parents or grandparents.
My dad would have been able to do it, then I could have. My grandfather was first generation, so I can't unfortunately. My dad passed a few years ago due to ALS, so I'm SoL on that.
You likely have a case for Asylum these days which is a nice silver lining.
Soon enough, yeah.
Its OK, my backup/escape plan is a digital nomad visa, then go from there. Thankfully I clear all hurdles for any of the countries offering them, I am OK (not great, but OK) at a few languages, etc. Saves the asylum option for others as things progress in the worst direction....
