Hall started it.
We’ve always been at war with Eastasia Christmas.
I’m reminded of this surreal moment on fox where they tried to trigger libs by trying to drink a steak though a straw that has lightbulbs on it.
That woman is a dumbass.
That’s really, really stupid.
How about a war on war?
Is that a steak, or… uh… is that a turd? Looks a lot more like a turd. And that would be on-brand.
As Terry Jones asked, “How do you know when you’ve won a war on an abstract noun? When it gets removed from the Oxford English Dictionary?”
The other day someone pointed out (correctly) that the only holiday that actually was under attack was Halloween - by conservatives. Now most of this list is going to be Fox and their usual hysterical attempt to whip up their viewers in a frenzy of rage and fear, but some of it is actually projection, too.
Well, it gives people permission to do anything in response, including potentially take up (literal) weapons against it - no reaction is an “over-reaction.” I mean, if it’s a “war,” then those who are supposedly having this “war” waged upon are justified in whatever they do to resist it. You can’t do that if “people are being non-specific in their holiday greetings in order to include more people.” That’s not even worth getting upset over. A “war” against your religion and way of life, on the other hand? People have been bombed for less.
That list is incomplete, at least going back historically …
1834: The War on the Bank of the United States
1876: A Concise History of Women’s War on Alcohol
and of course Nietzsche popularized the “war on Christianity” in his time …
Can’t find an earlier reference, though I wouldn’t be surprised if the metaphor can’t be found in Plato or his peers …
OMG!
They left off “apostrophe abuser’s”
Sports nuts made the list? I’m conflicted…
How do you know it’s apostrophe abuse? Maybe all the druggies who belong to a homo (sapiens? erectus? economicus?) do love the devil.
A weird omission: The War on Truth.
They have to know the optics of claiming that won’t be good. Clinton accused them of it.
Can someone please explain what is a ‘high fullutent’? There is a chance I might inadvertently be one.
Damn…and me without a gun.
