I think I have mentioned this before but war as a metaphor doesn& #39;t work for me. This thread might be disjointed. https://www.vox.com/culture/2020/4/15/21193679/coronavirus-pandemic-war-metaphor-ecology-microbiome">https://www.vox.com/culture/2...

I grew up in the suburbs. Middle class. If my folks struggled financially I had no clue.

So a very nice neighborhood. 40+ years later I would still move there in a jiffy. Lots of changes but still a good place.

So no violence there.

Everyone has their own experience. My experience with war was very tame. I& #39;m very lucky. Lucky enough to feel the guilt that gets left behind sometimes.

Maybe it& #39;s because I& #39;m a literal person sometimes. I know the difference between a simile and a metaphor. Did I spell simile correctly? Doesn& #39;t matter.

Anyways. A football game? Not a war. Not a war in the trenches. Not the proper metaphor.

Did you read the article that started this thread?

War on drugs? Maybe not a metaphor. Treat it like a war and people die. Meh. Still a metaphor I guess.
