Calling it 'The Battle of (wherever)' is priming war thinking.

Sure is a lot of war priming these days, particularly American versus American.

I'm sure that's entirely coincidental and is nothing to worry about. Heyyyy, isn' t it about time we have another thread in GenDis where we talk about which groups of people we hate the most?

BE AWARE OF WHAT YOU READ. THERE IS A WAR FOR YOUR THOUGHTS ON AND DU IS JUST ANOTHER BATTLEGROUND FOR IT.
