I use a burner account (I'm "Norwegian")
Some of the most infuriating comments I read (can't remember word for word but it's pretty accurate). And my approximate replies in (...)
• "I live in the UK. You're from Norway which is not in Europe so you don't have the right to say anything, go back to school" (nope, of course it is in Europe but it's not in the EU). That same person told me to "take an English-language class" - (my English isn't bad for not being a native-speaker)
• "It's only legal to smoke if you're older than 21 Europe, same with alcohol. AOC is 18 everywhere, shut your mouth", (nope - in most Euro countries it's actually 18 for smoking, 16 for beer/wine, and 16 for AOC).
• "Outdoor-indoor cats are uncommon in UK/Europe" (nope, search Google)
• "Autism isn't a real disease but rather these people pretend to be socially awkward so they don't have to talk to people" (what?!)
• "Fluoride is bad for you, that's why you should buy fluoride-free toothpaste even if your water doesn't contain it" (actually, using fluoride-free toothpaste the whole time will cause tooth-decay and cavities, just don't swallow the fluoride. Google.)
• "High-tax countries are doing better economically and to live in" (actually the opposite is often the case. Google.)
• "Wealthy people live the lifestyle of middle-class people and rarely buy expensive houses or anything" (wait, so who owns million-dollar mansions, private jets, yachts, car-collections, holiday-houses, and Rolls Royce's?)
––– All not true, a quick Google search disproves all these stupid comments.
