I think of this every time some pede cautions against war.

Folks, we have nothing to fear from war. We are already at war and have been for over a generation. How many people in this generation grew up without a father in their home? In human history, fatherless homes have only happened in the aftermath of war - when men were killed off and no longer able to raise their children.

A girl walking around with neon hair is a casualty of war. Her life has been ruined, intentionally, by an evil enemy. We are at war for decades, and we've been losing because we've allowed the war to be fought on their terms.

Propaganda networks and corrupt bureaucracy are their only strengths. These are the only battlegrounds where they can beat us, and yet we only fight them on those battlegrounds.

An entire generation is the walking dead. A man in his late 20s who jacks off and plays video games all day is a casualty of war. A woman turning 32 who has two abortions and hates men is a casualty of war.

We are already at war, it's just that we've only fought them on their terms.

Okay, I can buy the 29-year-old deadbeat and woman who's had two abortions as casualties, but how the hell is a girl dying her hair a casualty of war? That's... literally self-expression. A lot of people try a lot of things as they explore who they are. I dyed my hair jet black in high school. Didn't magically make me a communist. Didn't ruin my life.

Let's try to avoid catastrophizing over teenagers and young adults exploring their identities. It makes us a lot less palatable to people who may otherwise share our love of American liberty.

Casualty is wounded and also dead. The dyed unnatural colors is definitely a plead for attention that should have come from loving family not any kind of peer group.
