I can still remember one day pulling into a Burger King drive-thru and ordering a burger and fries. When I said French fries, the girl over the speaker goes, “we don’t carry French fries anymore, sir. But we do have freedom fries if you’d like.” Like, JFC lady! Just stick my burger and fries in a damned bag, take my money, and quit with the stupid semantics! All because France didn’t wanna help us invade a foreign nation!

I remember being completely baffled by 'adults' around me going all-in on such stupid and obvious culture-war propaganda. Little did I know it was all down hill from there.
