Are the freak-outs listed in the order that they more or less appeared in the thread? Not seeing the right pundits pearlclutching over James O’Keefe getting kicked out of Project Veritas. ---

No, they are listed in year of initiation/peak. Some are recurring (at bottom), and many have been ongoing my entire life. ---

> [@smithsb](#): > > A new one (I did a search in this thread - nada) from the Stupid Republicans rabbit hole. Tap water turns men gay. - When you replace the people who normally would staff any kind of academic-oversight board with, you know, fascist-friendly folks who are eager to knuckle under to a would-be dictator, you get…perhaps _ **not** _ the ultimate in intellectual capacity. Also: people high in hatefulness fueled by their massive insecurities, of course. ---

Let’s add Bud Light beer to the list. Seems they partnered with a trans woman and produced some rainbow cans. Can’t have that - **boycott** say the Reichwing conservatives!!! > **[Bud Light faces boycott over trans activist partnership: "Never drink it"](https://www.newsweek.com/bud-light-faces-boycott-trans-activist-partnership-dylan-mulvaney-1792192)** > > The beer brand is facing calls for its product to be poured down the drain after partnering with Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender influencer and activist. Note that I’d rather go thirsty than drink Bud Light but not because of partnerships - tastes like recycled urine. ---

I was under the impression that Yuengling belongs to AB Inbev. I just checked and I was wrong; that’s not true. Yuengling is still family owned. But ABInbev is a giant evil conglomerate behind everything from Budweiser to half the macro-micros in the USA and over half the brands in Europe. I don’t know whether they love Trump specifically, but there’s lots to notlike about the rest of their beliefs. The list of which beers not to buy is long: > **[AB InBev brands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AB_InBev_brands)** > > Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (Dutch pronunciation: \[ˈɑnɦɔi̯zər ˈbuʃ ˈɪmbɛf\]; abbreviated as AB InBev) is the largest beer company in the world.\[citation needed\] It had 200 brands prior to the merger with SABMiller on October 10, 2016. The combined ABInBev/SAB Miller entity has approximately 400 beer brands as of January 2017. > The original InBev global brands are Budweiser, Corona and Stella Artois. Its international brands are Beck's, Hoegaarden and Leffe. The rest are categorized as local brands.... ---

Working on the list, adding links to the controversies. Am taking a few of them out, including: | Number | Item | Year (appx) | | --- | --- | --- | | x | Border Security | 2000 | | x | Shoe inspections on airplanes | 2002 | | x | Patriot Act | 2004 | | x | Michelle Bachman | 2009 | … as I’m not too sure the controversy is easily right/left (Shoe inspection) or it’s too vague (Border security, Michelle Bachman), or the fact that there really wasn’t much of a freakout at all (Patriot Act). I’m up to #102, it’s taking longer than I thought! ---

Your completion will be the reward for your labors. Truely righteous work. Monetary renumereration beyond SDMD\* coinage would be an insult. - eerily similar to Trump bucks. ---

The “Mario Bros. Movie” used to be a freakout because of Rainbow Road and Princess Peach being a real character. But you can take it off the board because [they’ve decided it’s “anti-woke.”](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/anti-woke-super-mario-bros_n_64343f58e4b0859acb954791) Apparently casting two white guys as Mario Mario and Luigi Mario is fighting Big Woke or something. ---
