You can say that it's silly, but if it's applied evenly to either side of the aisle it's a little difficult to say it's culture war.

No, sorry, none of these need Snopes pages. It's too funny.

To you. There are a lot of people that don't understand other cultures all that much, or are missing context. It's easy to make fun of others.
