It’s that time of year again; one can smell the pumpkin pies, the turkeys, and the celebrities signaling their virtue at the expense of hallowed American traditions.
Big Bang Theory actress Mayim Bialik posted a video to Youtube on November 16 explaining the 4 reasons why she doesn’t like Thanksgiving. Buried underneath the milder complaints of “eating copious amounts of food” and the proximity of Thanksgiving to the Jewish traditional version of Thanksgiving, Bialik brought up a ridiculous reason to loathe an American holiday:
“History is written by the winners. I grew up coloring pictures of pilgrims and indigenous people -- we called them Indians when I was a child -- having this beautiful Thanksgiving together. The truth is, European invaders came to this land, took it from the indigenous people, raped, pillaged, gave them all sorts of diseases, called it their own, and desecrated a culture. It is one of the grossest examples of genocide in recent history and much as I don’t want to think about that, it’s really hard for me not to think about that when I think about Thanksgiving.”
Ouch. So ignoring the beautiful tradition that has been practiced by families in America for hundreds of years, people shouldn’t celebrate Thanksgiving because the pilgrims, among other things, were “invaders” who brought “all sorts of diseases” to the Native Americans? If that’s the case, then whoever brought the Black Death to Europe in the 14th century was a war criminal. And if she wants to rant and rave about how dreadful the colonials were, every country, every nation, and every region has had the lion’s share of enormous human flaws and brutality.
As a vegan (and nobody virtue signals like a vegan!) Bialik also doesn’t like having a turkey on Thanksgiving. She said, “I don’t like the tradition of killing a bird that in most cases has been genetically modified so that it’s so big that it can’t even stand up and then you lay it’s carcass on a tray and you carve it up and then you eat it. I don’t like that tradition. I don’t want that one. And I know. You think, “you vegans ruin everything.” Well, you know what? I think your tradition of killing an animal and laying its carcass and eating the skin and the flesh of it -- I think its gross. That ruins it too.”
There are some issues with being vegan too. For starters, many of the ingredients used by vegans, including quinoa, are harvested from third world countries. This causes the prices of food in places like Peru to go up, and poor people end up having to pay more. Being vegan is not necessarily the greatest lifestyle to have, if someone wants to talk about injustice and genocide.
of The perks of Thanksgiving for Bialik? The “attitude of gratitude” and the Macy’s Day Parade. Hating on mainstream positivity and modern cultural customs is a bridge too far for Bialik. Think of the bad publicity!
They were doing it to each other long before the white people showed up.................
“proximity of Thanksgiving to the Jewish traditional version of Thanksgiving”
Didn’t the Jews take the Promised Land from someone and also commit genocide against the Amalekites?
I stopped watching the show before it even started.
that show has to wrap up already. Maybe it was funny but they are just obnoxious characters now. Somebody please punch Sheldon in the face!
Come for the genocide, stay for the food.
The characters are perfect dims too, socially retarded misfits that are overwhelmed about how smart they are compared to the common folk.
But the Genocide is what makes it taste so good.
Could I have some Gravycide on my Genocide?
Who cares?
She feels that she’s morally superior. Sorry, fatty, but refusing to eat meat doesn’t make you morally superior. Humans have eaten meat since there were humans. It’s normal and natural. Also, humans invade other lands, kill the inhabitants, and take the resources. Has been happening since there were humans.
If you want to go live in a land where people don’t eat meat, and where no one in that land since the beginning of humans has ever attacked and killed other people, then you won’t find one on this Earth.
You liberals want to colonize Mars so you can start civilization again, this time doing it according to liberal rules, not according to human nature rules. Please go.
And don’t let BBT go to your head. There are funny parts, but overall it’s just a bunch of liberal crap.
You’re fat and ugly.
And, in the case of Nori, algaecide. /s
I’ll have the endangered species kabob and the Bigfoot steak grilled over moon rocks please.
Mayim Bialik. Another “star” I never heard of.
It’s sweet that she thinks people care about her opinion...
But no, that's different...
The 'Palestinians' could use a good propagandist like this.
But that was a long time ago and all those people are dead.......................oh, wait............
