It's the shortened version of "he invaded Iraq, are you okay with that??" Or some variation of that.
It's usually used in statements that put the above into question. Something like, "yeah, but X, please elaborate".

Crazy having to look at posts directly from my Tumblr mutuals posted on this community that banned me for being a trans person who didn't worship Ada
This community always makes me sad to see, so many lgbtqia+ people unknowingly support a sack of shit like Ada. Just because all dissent gets banned.
I'm sure this comment won't last long, considering how terminally online she is.

Did you just edit the post to censor "bush" to get more engagement?
i posted it because i realized i commented on 196, then thought it would be funny if i censored bush but not fuck, so i edited the post.
(edited for clarification)
Why? Engagement is worthless on lemmy of all platforms...
idc about engagement, i was just sleep deprived and thought it was the funniest thing ever.
I love your brain. Lawful chaos icon. Never change. Unless it antagonizes someone, that is.
