    Welcome to the rest of the world, which as you finally discovered really do hate Trump and present day America. Now stop and ponder why.

    This could take forever to figure out. It isn't as easy as "Drumpf" or "Antifa". Skip over those answers.

    Thanks for correcting your error in your response to my comment. The problem Trump has is that he encourages this type of flaimbating. So do not be surprised if people respond in kind, at first many thought it was kind of fun having Trump as president, but after a year his endless derogatory remarks, his constant lies are getting a bit wearing with some non Americans. As I wrote, you have a right to have anyone you want to be the face of america but don't get your feelings hurt because they respond with anti american attitudes.

    Yes, I believe it used to be called diplomacy! So do not whinge when you see non diplomatic replies from people in other countries.

    I do not believe so. I can **** or defecate. They both produce a steaming pile of stink. I disagree. I think it is simply a way to talk about someone with lower intelligence or a less broad vocabulary and not worry about offending them. You're still calling them "s-holes". lol

    Which is worse, being honest or being back stabbing and two faced while treating them as if they can't understand? Of course they can understand.

    Antifa is more likely. They stand right at the line between Nazism and Communism, two opposites that are so far apart they almost meet.

    Free speech protection is needed in the New Public Square.

    Having said that, my guess is that your FB post reached/exceeded the threshold for number of reports, and that's why the FB bots reacted as they did.

    You could have said "G-d bless Norway!" or "Norway is the best!," and if you'd been reported an equal number of times, same result, no human directly involved.

    But free speech must be protected in the New Public Square.

    Lots of people reply to news stories on their feed out of defense for Trump. What I've gathered is the users who defend Trump most on Facebook either have fake profiles, or are in general, white men more than women or black users. I do wish, in these political threads on Facebook, Facebook would disable emojis for political posts (you know, like the "Haha" emoji that gets used the most on ABC or CBS' reporting). It shows me when users use those to respond they aren't taking the material seriously, so why even take the comments seriously?

    Haiti is not a shithole. It is the same as saying if Somalia was a shithole, or Nepal was a shithole. These countries are not as developed as us, let alone have the resources. Haiti was becoming a great community until the earthquakes that hit the island. So, there really is not a factor where Trump's labeling of Haiti as a shithole can be verified. If Haiti were as industrialized as the US, that would be one thing. But they're not. So Trump is still wrong from a factual basis. America needs to continue to aid Haiti in recovering from an historic and devastating earthquake. In time, Haiti will upgrade its status but chastising the country isn't going to help its cause.

    As for that woman from Norway goes, Norway's state of living is much better than that of the US. They are ranked a happier country than the US, their colleges do not bankrupt their students like they do here, the perks of this Scandinavian country really do circles around the US. In comparison to what we offer (given Norway, like Japan, only has a four-day work week), we do pale in comparison. If I were a foreigner, I would not want to come to the US as well to tell you the truth. I rather live in Germany or Norway, countries that rank higher than the US. In terms of colleges, insurance and the damages they do, yes the US is a shithole. An American who can admit that has more guts than a lot of people.

    Facebook was evil, but has its mind right now.

    Yep, sounds like he just got hit by the left-wing hate mob abusing an automatic system. If the OP was really worried about it, he could probably appeal the decision to a live person.

    I am not the President of the United States! But thanks for confirming just about every stereotype about Americans, you love to give it out but do not like it when it comes back at you.

    So by comparison, the meme girl was actually right. Not only this but Norway has more social progress than the U.S., their education system is better because they ranked higher in science, math and reading than we do, less inequality, less political corruption, more democratic, a smaller income gap and far fewer people being incarcerated.

    I see you have no clue what "anti fascist" actually means. It also appears that you suck from the russian fake news feed on a regular basis. Talk about exploiting confirmation bias with those lacking critical thinking skills. It works to great effective if your perspective is an example.

    I learned how toxic facebook is several years back and it took me a lot of work just to get the facebook account cancelled. Also I signed up for youtube TV and due to high cost, told them early enough to cancel it. They billed my bank anyway. I called my bank who reversed it. Later I got notified by Youtube they had also reversed it. My bank reversed charges first. Chase is a good bank.

    I know exactly what it means. It doesn't mean white discrimination, beatings nor silencing of those with conservative views, nor refusing to allow free speech on campus. It doesn't mean violent protests, burning nor otherwise destroying private property, nor blackballing those with differing opinions. It doesn't mean shouting down intellectual opposition, nor labeling those you disagree with. Those are all American liberties and values antifa tramples in the name of supremacy. It is truly antifa who is most like the early Nazi German brown shirts. I'm sure you've had books banned, as well as hating others for their religious beliefs. Yes, Nazism is alive and well in Antifa. Don't let their moniker fool you.
