So now I take keyboard in hand and remind us of the real meaning of Thanksgiving. Heark back with me four centuries, where the first American corporation almost starved to death and were rescued by a local socialist economy. The reason the Capitalists almost died was simply because they were merchants, not farmers. And they used a lot of their seed which they should have planted for a decent grain crop for making Beer. Mind ye, these were not Puritans (who didn’t drink and condemned those who did) and only had a few semblances to Puritans. They didn’t bathe, they were incredibly conceited and they hated Catholic traditions like celebrating Christmas, Easter etc. They pissed off the King of England, moved to Holland, didn’t do well with their king and got their asses invited to leave. People were in the middle of a centuries long Christian versus Christian murder spree.
The Puritans got a similar invitation later. The point was, they didn’t know a damn thing about how to survive and were heading for extinction like the Roanoke colony in Virginia some while earlier.
So the kind American Socialists rescued them. gave them food until the first harvest, showed them American crops and how to do it right. So they, after their first harvest, they called the Americans to a celebration which, surprisingly, the American Socialists catered. After the feast was over the Pilgrims shook their hands, told them thank you and now get off OUR land.Very nice people the Pilgrims were. Gracious. Noble. Prone to Treachery.
So now the English American invaders celebrate a feast at about the last week of November where they get sloppy drunk, eat way too much and root for idolatrous decadent gladiatorial games like ballfoot. To celebrate gratitude to The Great White Pilgrim Fathers for estabilishing the first English victory over Americans. Tomorrow they’ll be bitching and moaning that Jewish American Immigrants, along with a growing number of natives and immigrants, will celebrate their own holidays instead of the Pagan Christmas. They’ll go around screeching at anybody who says Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas.
Meaning their wrath is directed mostly at Jews who worship the same God.
They’ll do this with what they think are quotes from Pilgrims or Puritans or Quakers without knowing they’re separate groups and the Pilgrims and Puritans didn’t celebrate Christmas anyway. Because they’re semi-godless twits who don’t know their own damn history. Happy Turkey Day!
