Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have beaten to death a United States citizen in his early 20s, the victim’s family members and rights groups have said.

“We are aware of reports of the death of a US citizen in the West Bank,” Reuters reported a State Department spokesperson as saying. The official declined to comment further “out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones” of the reported victim.

It's not a "burn" - it was the casus belli given for Nazi territorial expansion.

"WE NEED YOUR SHIT AND WE GON TAKE IT FROM YOU! FUCK YOU!"

Is not only the nazi MO, but American foreign policy for a hundred years. Fucking terrorist state. FUCK THE USA. Fucking demons, a scourge upon civilization, a fucking cancer, a festering boil, a tick, a fucking virus.

I am GLAD the Taliban killed a bunch of them on 9/11, I totally get it, I'm with them, at least they did something instead of just writing stern letters. Respect to the Taliban, I can 💯 percent feel where they're coming from. And they were goat herders. Civilized nations have no excuse to let this fucking circus go on. Except, of course, $$$.

Anyone giving an inch to the US should be shot.

Its use as an insult to mock those to whom it applies, is what makes it a burn. I'm already well aware of what it is, but had never seen or heard anyone apply a specific name to it. It's mine now, and I'm going to use it to insult land thieves wherever and whomever they are.

Ugh. I'd rather you be arguing against my side that for it then.
