Is that your example of "owning people instead"?
Ok ok, lets pretend that this is a real issue. What exactly do you think the solution is?
This is a real issue but I am glad that you asked that question since its a very good one.
The solution would consist of many things.
Schools stop the censoring and kicking out of Christmas, Call the break the Christmas break, Christmas trees, Christmas concerts.
No more kicking out nativity scenes and Christmas displays
Say Merry Christmas and people who say "happy holidays" need to be singled out and criticized on how they are wrong.
Minorities who celebrate Christmas need to speak out when white secular progressives use them as an excuse to say happy holidays. Many minorities celebrate Christmas
People need to boycott stores who dont say Merry Christmas and use pc language, support stores who support Christmas
Politicians need to use the correct language like that idiot in Rhode Island who calls it a "holiday tree"
These are the solutions and none of them requires the government to get involved and make the government bigger.
