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.

Yeah, it's really disappointing to see someone as shitty as Gavin Newsom being celebrated for such a stupid and lazy tactic.
Like sure if this would change anything or lower support for Trump and the GOP, then fine, but it won't.
Fuck Trump and fuck Gavin Newsom.
when someone who is in charge, disregards all laws and rules and sends armed men to kidnap people...there is no rules and you fight fire with fire.
this is what you're seeing right now, except you expect those fighting to continue to fight in a way that's being completely disregarded.
aka: don't try talk reason to the one who's currently punching your face in. fight back
So "fight fire with fire" to you is fight armed men kidnapping people with mocking tweets? Oh come on. You're being duped. This isn't a win because it doesn't accomplishing anything.
the fight is with the dude telling those guys to attack, via his tweets...so yes.
it's doing more then what the rest of them are doing, which is literally nothing but hiding away. at least someone is calling his bullshit out and mocking him the same way he calls everyone out on lies and mocks them for being human.
