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.

Bullcrap. Almost all of them are rooted in racism or petty grudges

Brazil. Please cut off all coffee exports to the US, then just wait. (Brazil is the world's largest exporter of the number one drug in America.) I'm dead ass serious. People won't stand up for their neighbors and community when Nazies are rounding the others up. But fuck with their go juice... All hell will break loss.

Yeah, but send it to Canada please, the price of coffee is ridiculous now!

I wish our countries would start signing trade deals like that but it seems Canada only has eyes for Europe rn

Canada just needs to diversify, trade with most countries would be most beneficial

Because it doesn't directly affect them yet.

"Then they came for my coffee", and all that.
