The Nation is honoring this year’s Thanksgiving by featuring a debate over whether America should keep celebrating the national holiday or not. One side is claiming it is “steeped in colonialism, violence, and misrepresentation” and needs to be “decolonized,” while the other goes further, describing Thanksgiving as a “lie” that should be completely abolished and replaced with a “Truthsgiving,” where Americans can “give thanks by… giving land back.”

Now, now. Knowing history benefits nobody. /s /eyeroll
32 people agree with this.
Give land back? For more slot machines?
They’re free to go to communist China and celebrate the Great Leap Forward.
They should set an example by giving away their personal property. All of it.
Native Americans didn’t believe in private property, so I’m not going to change their cultural mores simply because a letfie complains.
“The Nation” tells us we shouldn’t be a nation.
Makes sense.
I thought the American tribes didn’t believe in land ownership. Well white Europeans do believe in it. We win, you lose.
And those advocating this should stop using the language of a nation that once colonized almost a quarter of the world’s population.
Hey Tonto…you want it, come take it.
No one is giving anything “back”.
It is called conquest. Happens all the time.
Will the writers and editors at ‘The Nation’ be giving back the land their homes sit on?
Just curious.
I always hear that about Indians not having private property. I suspect if you walked up and tried to take their horses, or put up a tent 200 years away from their camp, they would quickly inform you that the horses and that site belonged to them.
I think that no private property thing because of modern leftist construction. They understood private property quite well, they just didn’t respect it.
Besides, they just stole the land from somebody else.
OK, let’s start from the most current occupants. Deport all illegal aliens and recent immigrants, who arrived illegally and found cover to stay. Once that is done, let’s figure out who’s next on the list.
How come these idiot liberals never give their land back?
How the tribes treated each other BEFORE the White Man arrived...It wasn’t pretty. My short list....

Here is a gift for them, the history of the world. If you can’t defend it, it’s not yours.
I offer blankets as compensation.
Honestly, who thinks these things. 47 Reddit a-holes?
It’s transference. Analysis of other cultures through the prism of your own. Never valid, and usually causes problems. The left doesn’t care since, in their own minds, they are always right.
