Comment on Happy American import day
cmbabul@slrpnk.net 2 days agoDude Thanksgiving is like the most imperialist holiday, it’s pretty much American propaganda about how the native Americans were totally cool with colonialism and in the modern context is about buying lots of excessive food. Christmas is the capitalist day but Thanksgiving is not much better

American or Canadian propaganda that was slapped on 1/12 or 1/13 of the entire Native American harvest festivals. I don’t remember if there were 12 or 13, but their version of Thanksgiving happened that many times per year.
We just took one of those days and slapped a coat of Union Jack paint all over it. That’s also why Canada celebrates their Thanksgiving earlier than we do.
