It’s such a ridiculous kind of fake self persecution. No one gets in trouble for saying “Merry Christmas.” Some people choose to say other things that are more inclusive, like “Happy Holidays.” One person saying “Happy Holidays” doesn’t prevent another person from saying “Merry Christmas.”

Yes, if you’re happier, I must be less happy.

The war on Christmas will continue until it refrains from the occupation of November.

Everyone’s talking about Christmas taking over the year, the retail chain I work for in Australia is bringing in hot cross buns for water for sale the week of Christmas…

The head canons are insane lmfao.

If a progressive school is sending you to the office for saying Christmas, they’re probably just going to have a chat about being more progressive with our well wishes to include everyone.

You wanna exclude people that’s fine, but don’t label the people trying to be the most kind as insane or assholes. lol.

A progressive school wouldn’t even do that in the first place, because it’s the surest way to get the ever living shit sued out of you over 1A because of one disgruntled parent

happy holidays isn’t more inclusive, it’s just generic. i feel included in a community when they salute me as they would with one of their own

Which is what you’d use if you didn’t know what religion they practice if at all

Otherwise, sensibly, you’d wish them a happy whatever it is they celebrate.

Not everyone is cool with having their religion assumed on so it’s not “generic” it’s respectful

I don’t know. a Muslim once saluted me with the end of Ramadan holyday. that day i met a friend. parted ways, we still greet each other when we meet. dude did not assume anything about me, he just wanted to share and make friends. being greeted with one’s culture and being not ok with it, it means you’re not an educated person.

Are you new to metal as a genre? Many of the more extreme singers definitely know how to sing clean as well. It always amuses me when people on YouTube are amazed that some metal singer can sing. What did you think? You have to hone your technique and voice to be able to do extreme vocals for years.
