well, she is an anthropologist and she did her dissertation on the American Genocide. so yeah, let me ask her, good thinking.
and squeegette is the one who huffs gasoline. i've tried to get her to quit, but she calls me an oppressive CIS and tries to stab me with a hypodermic needle. so i'm not doing that again.

right, so thanksgiving originated as a puritanical christian tradition. the puritans had days of fasting and days of thanksgiving and eventually it become a national holiday as well as a religious holiday. but i guess since there's not many puritans around anymore it's more of a national holiday just rooted in christianity is all. i didn't really remember the specifics, like i said we don't really celebrate the genocide of our people with some culturally appropriated day of feasting used to obfuscate mass murders. that's what my mom said anyway

how is that a back pedal? i said, "i celebrate it as a secular holiday where we just eat food and watch football. it's not a religious thing for my family."
which is true, it's not a religious thing for my family.
then anon K said, "its never been a religious holiday for anyone nimrod"
which isn't true at all since it comes from a puritanical christian tradition going back hundreds of years.
i then explained, "it's a christian holiday for celebrating the genocide of millions."
which is true, it's a puritanical christian tradition that was appropriated by the rich white landowners of the day and used as a feast to celebrate the conquering of this land and the slaughter of indians.
anon K said ask my mom, which was a good idea, and all she did was fill in the finer details.
where the hell did i backpedal?
