Subreddit Rules

Keep It European

Memes should be relevant to Europe, Europeans, or European culture. Off-topic memes will be removed.

No Hate Speech or Bigotry

Racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and other forms of hate speech are strictly prohibited. Satire is welcome, but not at the expense of marginalized groups.

No Spam or Self-Promotion

Don’t flood the sub with your own content or links. Participate genuinely.

English Preferred, but Multilingual Welcome

While English is the main language, memes in other European languages are allowed if the humor is clear or a translation is provided.

Be Kind and Constructive

Disagreements happen, but keep discussions civil. Personal attacks, trolling, or harassment will result in bans.

You made light of animal suffering and justified it with "but they actually like it sometimes". Parts of this reply sound genuine and others still seem to make light. So it's kinda a wash for me.

Ok friend, I didn't make light of animal suffering, I made light of your seeming black and white outlook. Which now seems very justified. Put down the phone made with child labor, drink a coffee picked by indentured farmers, look out the window into a country propped up by imperialism, and try not to be a complete ass to someone that tried to be nice and actually apologized to you.

Goddamn Habibi, not everyone is your enemy. Be willing to give others the grace they give you, or you will live a very lonely life all alone on your hill of self-righteous fury. Go redirect your anger to the assholes on top, not the ones in the bucket with you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I apparently have a litter of puppies to drown before I masturbate to rabbits being stepped on. Or something.

You're a dick. I should know. It takes one to know one

The only true thing you said. You made light of everything and you still do. Your apology was half assed. What a fucking shitty message, infinitely worse than anything could be construed which I said to you. Good riddance dickhole

Edit: the fact that people are on this sociopath's side makes me want to leave this platform. What the absolute fuck is wrong with people?

The only true thing you said.

Nah, you'll also die alone on your self-righteous hill, miserable and Right™

Projection is a bitch, hope you get better at life ✌️

Seems obvious to me that if your apology being seen as not great causes you to flip out and tell a stranger they will die alone, you definitely didn't mean it at all. This was a pretty psychotic string of things to say to someone who just said they can tell when animals suffer at times.

Don't bother replying with more hatred, I've seen what you'll do so you're blocked. I'm sure all this is about you being a deeply unhappy person and hoping to spread that.
