He sent me this picture and a video clip and all but explicitly threatened to chase me around with a rubber/foam mallet like whack-a-x games use. Because he wants to play "whack a commie".
Damn, I really hate the Red Scare.

Is he aware that the subtext of Whack-A-Mole in plain speech is referring to a permanent problem that you can never get rid of, and the best you can hope for is to treat the symptoms as fast as possible though they keep popping up?

He is aware of that. He does think of communists as a persistent pest. The one thing we both agree on is that the entire Cold War was the West playing whack-a-commie. We just disagree on whether they should have bothered.
