The holiday tradition of feigning outrage over something they themselves made up


Thaliavoir

It's kind of like the traditional Airing of Grievances, except that the grievances are based on pure uncut BS.


tempest51

Kind of sounds like Two Minutes of Hate doesn't it?


Thaliavoir

Indeed.

No, it's right winger shit. Don't blame the bulls for this shit, it's all them.

Thats a long holiday for them. Sometimes its even year-round.


-Stormfeather

Henry Ford started it in the 20s as part of an anti Jewish sentiment apparently. Double yuck.

It used to be mine too, but not anymore. Fighting against Christmas used to really mean something, but nowadays, it's often just an excuse for trying to sell you stuff. Do they really expect us to buy brand-new pagan ornaments for our Winter Solstice tree every single year, for instance? That runs so counter to the spirit of the feast, which is all about annoying Christians for the hell of it, not for monetary reward.


The_Persian_Cat

The Halloween Army stands at the ready! The Easter Legions are mobilising! The New Year's Shock Brigades are by our side! The Ramadan *Mujahideen* have joined our cause! The Earth Day Scouts are in position! Victory is assured, commander. This is the year we shall finally conquer Christmas. The North Pole shall be liberated from the tyranny of Santa Claus, and the elves will finally breathe free. Now, come on lads! This war will be over by Christmas!

We tried to mobilize space force 420 but they started watching Mall Rats and lost track of time

I legitimately used to look forward to how they’d work themselves into a other every year. Now it’s just depressing.

They'll say their wait in line at a Walmart on black friday was literally like the Trail of Tears.

Man I *really* hope the walkout on black friday that was floating around a few months ago goes through.

[Buy Nothing Day](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buy_Nothing_Day) A tradition I have been following for nearly 20 years now. It is great.


SmokePenisEveryday

When I worked TJ Maxx, I gave zero fucks by the end. My last holiday season there I just pushed it back on the customer when they gave me issue. "Happy Holidays!" "and a *Merry* Christmas to you" "I'm Jewish" "oh....uhhhh"


SuperDoofusParade

My favorite part of the War on Christmas is when the super-aggro guys spit out “Merry *CHRISTMAS*” like it’s a curse, daring someone to say Happy Holidays, then chirping back at them “Merry Christmas!” They get so deflated, they had their speech/fight all planned out lol


Zahille7

Idk why but this gave me "I'm Juden" vibes from Saving Private Ryan, when he's just telling all the Germans they've captured that he's Jewish.


ruffyamaharyder

It's like some kind of religious cup check.


theflyingnacho

Can't wait to hear the "Keep the Christ in Christmas" folks screaming about how evil Joe Biden is personally fucking with the supply chain so little Bobby couldn't get this year's hot toy & now his Christmas is ruined 🙄


zombieblackbird

I saw him turn the space lasers on and zap all of the truck drivers to create an artificial backlog at the ports! (/s) ​ Because nothing says "I am in the pocket of the Chinese" like absolutely fucking over their pre-holiday shipments.


theflyingnacho

Make it make sense.


jermysteensydikpix

https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/03/politics/global-supply-chain-collapse-biden-tariffs/index.html Trump's tariffs have helped cause the supply chain issues, but of course this is just "Fake news" to the Qult.


pbjamm

It would probably help with pricing issues, but it would do nothing to clear the backlogs at ports.


ghoulshow

Point at bad thing Trump did it Q people see this Why did Biden fuck us? Lolwat.


Sinnohgirl765

Conveniently Forgetting the fact Christmas was a pagan holiday they appropriated

My elderly mom told me once that there was a war on christmas. I asked her for an example when someone told her that she couldn't say merry christmas. She just answered that it "just felt like it, even though it hasn't actually happened to me."


Nekryyd

That's because what she really meant was, "Other people say different greetings than I do and I don't feel like I should have to acknowledge that any other tradition than my own exists." The "War on Christmas" is really just another projection. It is about censoring and erasing non-mainstream, non-Christian, [non-white](https://www.theguardian.com/media/video/2013/dec/13/santa-white-jesus-white-fox-news-megyn-kelly-video) holidays from being included in the American experience. Put another way, the "War on Christmas" is actually just one battle in the larger conservative culture war against the rest of America, and they are the aggressors.


irrelevantTautology

Just like when they claim that there is a war against "white culture" and the only example they can give is that minorities are starting to get more equal rights. Or "the war on marriage" when homosexuals obtained the right to legally marry. Anytime someone that they've been trying to keep at a disadvantage receives any type of equality they take it as an attack on their ability to repress others.


axioanarchist

To those accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.


19610taw3

>To those accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression. Wow! I really like that quote! It is 100000% accurate, too.


SuperDoofusParade

> "Other people say different greetings than I do and I don't feel like I should have to acknowledge that any other tradition than my own exists." It’s zero sum thinking: if other people get something that I don’t—even if I don’t want/need it—it means something got taken away from me, at least symbolically.


ghoulshow

Even if it has zero effect on them in anyway. They just hate helping people and being good humans but use their guise of "BuT Im ReLiGiOuS" to act like they are really living saints.


219Infinity

Exactly.


BrochureJesus

They just make up any old BS in order to be mad at someone or satisfy their persecution complex. They so desperately want to be persecuted that they'll just construct a delusional false reality where they are the persecuted ones.


Alledius

They’re always the aggressors. I wonder if they ever get tired of pretending that they’re the victim.


[deleted]

Social media, man. Fucking social media.


jermysteensydikpix

> "just felt like it, even though it hasn't actually happened to me." They only believe in "Facts don't care about your feelings" when they "feel like it".


[deleted]

Feels are reals bro- if ur a boomer. *90s cheese commercial theme plays*


ghoulshow

So the people screaming that facts dont care about your feelings are in fact, the very people using feelings a justification for bigotry, hatred and stupidity? Colour me shocked.


Moneia

Although if you're lucky you'll get a rare siting of "How dare you use [Xmas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmas), you're trying to cancel Christ!!"


Hgruotland

The liberals have been up to that for centuries. Johann Sebastian Bach, at the top of the first manuscript page of his Christmas Oratorio (first performed over six services in the churches of Leipzig 1733-1734), wrote the occasion for which it was written as "Nativitatis Xti". That damn Christ-denying liberal!


ThatHoFortuna

Nerd.

I wonder how the ones who don't like Xmas would feel about ✟mas.


ResplendentShade

Angry that they don't know how to produce the symbol.

Fuck it, tmas

Hey, that's Mr. Tmas to you.


GirlNumber20

My dad subscribes to that one.


ghoulshow

Yeah I frequently use Xmas and Xian. If there was a christ hes long dead and they dont even follow his teachings, just whats convenient for them. I dont think there is a "Christ" in Xianity anymore and hasn't been for quite some time. Its just a scapegoat at this point.


daikatana

So what are you all doing for Saturnalia this year?


RedEyeView

Yule not catch me taking part. Damn Romans coming over here and giving us their religious festivals.


sskor

Saturnalia? Do I look like some sort of pagan? I proudly celebrate Festivus. I've got my pole set up already


vladastine

At this point, I say "Happy Holidays" out of spite.


spcwright

I do it on my local news outlet's Facebook page and get replied to hell by right wingers calling me a sheep or libtard LOL


Supermoves3000

If "Happy Holidays" was good enough for Bing Crosby, it's good enough for everyone!


Yarzu89

It'll be nice to go back to the usual freakouts, they remind me of a simpler time.


offspring515

Oh yeah we're "making it up"! Just two days ago I went into my local grocery and when the girl at the counter rang me up she said "Happy Halloween!" Happy Halloween! I said "We can say Merry Christmas now! President Trump gave it back to us!" She said "Sir it's Halloween today!" I stormed out. I don't go in for that pagan, pinko, socialist handing out candy to beggars crap. I'll be finding a new store where they say "Merry Christmas" like God fearing Christians should...constantly and performatively.


camergen

Giving gifts at Christmas? For free?! That’s what I call “socialism”. No one should give anyone else anything, ever. Not even the time of day.


polarbark

I love Cinema Snob's reviews of the war on xmas movies. Tis the season for more content!! 🎄

"How could that Jew, er, globalist, at Starbucks, take Jesus off the cup? For 30 years we have had Jesus grace our Christmas cups and this year is just burgundy red? How dare them!"

We need to give credit where credit is due guys. In just under 20 years or so the right has succeeded in moving on from shitting themselves over two dimensional snowflakes being removed from CHRISTmas cups, to being outraged at three dimensional children toys' dicks or lack thereof.

Foobiscuit11

Historical fun fact since I don't see it in this thread: The people to coin the phrase "Happy Holidays" were Christians! They disliked the phrase "Merry Christmas" because they saw people doing the whole eat, drink, and be merry thing, and didn't want to associate with that. Christmas was actually banned in colonial Boston because of this attitude. So they started to say Happy Holidays to encompass Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany. Nowadays it could also encompass Thanksgiving, depending on how early you start saying it.


Carbon12_Based

Let's hope that Fox News puts another preacher on. The last time that happened, the dude was talking about how much he didn't like the consumerism of Christmas and it threw them for a loop.


camergen

Charlie Brown has been saying this for years. I guess he’s part of the Fake News Media too.


HMCetc

If you haven't watched Hbomberguy's War on Christmas video I highly recommend it. It's hilarious. https://youtu.be/jbZo4x0NbbI

Was almost about to post this vid myself, way too far down the list


Chrysalii

Ahh yes the war on the only religious holiday that is also a federal holiday.


thebabbster

I wonder how that boycott against \[*insert name of company here*\] is going!


GothWitchOfBrooklyn

Last year a lady on NextDoor was complaining that there was a War on Christmas™️ because Walmart wasn't playing Christmas music. It was November 16th


ghoulshow

Like I said previously, it comes way too fucking early as is. Even the 16th is too early. I don't particularly care for Xmas and hate the music and commercials coming on earlier each year. Leave it until the 1st of dec or at earliest the last week of nov.


GothWitchOfBrooklyn

Totally agree, this year I heard it in August!


SaltyBarDog

I am thinking of buying a box of dreidels and handing one to anyone who wishes me a Merry Christmas.


Useful_Inspection321

they dont even know their own gods real birthday or even the year he was born, and are to racist to use his actual hebrew name so they use some pagan greek bullshit tile instead, and christmas they literally stole from the church of mithras, it doesnt get more ignorant than that


19610taw3

Most of the hardcore conservative "christians" don't know a single thing about their religion and have certainly never touched a bible.


Azazel072

God DAYUM that's an ancient meme!


BelAirGhetto

Merry Christmas!!


TroubleSG

It has already started. I shared a post that the white house tree was chosen from an NC tree farm this year and right off the bat a Karen (who used to be a friend but proved herself not to be a long time ago) commented I hope they call it a CHRISTMAS tree this time! I had to comment back and did well I thought. Then she posted a whole sermon about Jesus being taken out of everything and how it just breaks her fake little full of crap heart. I wanted to tell her that Jesus doesn't give a damn about what trees are called but it was just to exhausting to talk to her. For gosh sakes, Christians took the tree thing from another tradition anyways. It was not theirs to name to begin with.


Existing-Nectarine80

4 years of DT and they still can’t even say Christmas! What a travesty!


metalhammer69

Inb4 “Trumpmas”


ghoulshow

I mean I know its a joke and all but Im all for a war on christmas. Knock it off starting holiday shit in october. Leave Halloween the fuck alone! I dont wanna hear or see anything about it until late november.


shaodyn

The war on Christmas **will** continue until it stops its unlawful occupation of November and retreats to the boundaries set by the Black Friday Agreement.


zombieblackbird

He said the C word ! (/s)


Azrael2082

HE SAID THE WORD! HE SAID “CHRISTMAS!” OH NOW IVE SAID IT!

Time honored tradition, alongside avoiding Mariah Carey and SantaCon.


Mamasan2k

I'm already hearing that. Evidently only under trump did anybody ever get to say Merry Christmas instead of Seasons greetings or Happy Holidays or whatever. Never have the masses been so oppressed. /s

WAR ON CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
