This is sure to be real popular.
Thanksgiving is the celebration of individual freedom and capitalism over the failed model of communism / socialism.
The Pilgrims were founded under a commune / socialism arrangement and most of them died or were in the process of dying from starvation. The charter was changed to an individual freedom / capitalist model and they quickly achieved bumper harvests. The first Thanksgiving was a celebration of that harvest, brought on by individual freedom as opposed to death by starvation under a commune model.
Any nearby Indians were bit players in this classical example of freedom vs socialism.
IMHO of course.
I'm imagining a group comprised entirely of the regular, same few unwashed campus marxists whose only purpose in life it is to be angry, and a handful of obese, angry lesbians with turquoise hair.
Seems they want to be put out of business.

The left’s objection to Thanksgiving and most other traditional cultural celebrations has nothing to do with the underlying historic basis of the events. Their philosophy demands that they must destroy all “old” cultural norms of the majority dominant culture and replace them with their own ideologigical pure practices in order to cement their power over people.
This was seen in the French Revolution, the Bolshevek Revolution, the Red Chinese revolution in 1949 and the subsequent Cultural Revolution in 1966 to wipe out people’s memory of the famine and death caused by Mao’s crackpot ideas. This revolution focussed on destroying the four “olds” old ideas, old customs, old habits and old culture.
“Indigenous” is another one of those words that give cultural Marxists away, along with “critical,” “denier,” “equity,” “justice,” “phobic,” “privilege,” “struggle,” “systemic,” and my all time pet peeve, capitalizing “Black” but not “white.”
What’s really needed is for more people to decide, “Enough, go to Hell wokesters”.
The whole scam of the Woke, is to make people feel guilty about some injustice. The only cure, is for people to decide they don’t feel like being made guilty.
“Native American Gender Identities.”
George Catlin found what the tribes thought of homosexuals. He planned to do a painting of a “Dandy’ or “Fop” as he called them, and the chiefs said he must destroy the painting of the pervert or destroy the paintings of the chiefs as they did not want their portraits in the same lodge as the Homo’s.
Catlin destroyed the painting of the homo.
Why? Because the pilgrim socialist experiment failed and Thanksgiving is a celebration of capitalism with the Indians?
Oh, that'll go over big on the rez. They don't have enough trouble without over-earnest sociology majors "re-imagining" them?
According to the university’s website, the event will analyze “Two-Spirit,” discussing if “non-native Americans” can “identify with this term,” and define the “western understanding.”
I can't think of a more perfect example of cultural appropriation, or misappropriation more accurately. Here's a radical suggestion: how about we let the tribes tell us about their culture instead of us telling them?
Look out, Jesus! They coming for you next!!
That should be entertaining.
I have known for a long time that they wanted to eliminate Thanksgiving.
These people eat, sleep, live, breath nothing but hate. Hate is their reason for living and the misery they spread is their manna. They take pleasure in making as many people as possible, miserable and most of all, they hate it when you smile or take joy in simple pleasures.
I’m convinced that if we were to split into two countries, they would self immolate within ten years.
I graduated from that university and it was drifting that way in the 80’s with “recommended” then mandatory multi-culti studies. They became mandatory because nobody signed up except athletes. It was when I attended my first session of the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies while driving home from a part time job.
At least Omuslim just tried to turn every holiday into a day of service. 😆
