What about apathy?


…AFAF

It’s forgiven cuz it’s you.

It's nice to see Canadians still observing Thanksgiving. Around here it's Fourth of July - not Indepence Day like we aren't independent on the 3rd or 5th then Halloween for 3 months then Christmas until July then repeat.

Thanksgiving > Halloween



I probably should have put this in the controversial opinions thread

Thanksgiving is the best holiday, it’s entirely delicious food and drink based (as long as we ignore people connecting the Puritans to it)

Yummy food vs candy and scary decorations?

Hmmmm… that’s a tough one for me.

I mean, Thanksgiving is more special cuz it’s only one day whereas you can “celebrate” Halloween for a whole month.

Like what you like don’t like what you don’t.

Except when you’re this wrong


I kid I kid. I get it, especially if you’re not a horror person.

I like the idea of being thankful, but celebrating colonialism can jump in a lake.

You’ve loved a dog, no? So it’s not complete apathy. Just lack of pet enthusiasm, perhaps?

Do you think we can celebrate a holiday without the historical context of it?

Like I celebrate Christmas… I’m not Christian.

While colonialism is horrid … and especially where I’m from as there was never a treaty between the indigenous people and the land was just flat out stolen…

But Thanksgiving … imo … can be a holiday to recognize our privilege and remember and respect the history … while being thankful for all we have … friends, family, health, etc … whatever it is.

Who is celebrating colonialism??

Like, I know the origins, but I think we have successfully reclaimed thanksgiving for the food and the fellowship and the autumn vibes.

Agreed, I think each family defines the day as they want to. With my crew, we toast and eat to being healthy, all the good fortune we have in our lives and how lucky we are to be loved.

We completely ignore the fact that in 1620, a group of religious oppressors lost their license to oppress people in England and so ran away and would have starved if not for the kindness of the original residents of that land.

I have loved a few dogs. And I will concede that I’ve never met a Bernese mountain dog that I didn’t want to hug like a teddy bear.
And I’ve loved a few cats, too.

But if you asked me if I like cats or dogs I’d say… meh

However, yeah, I do think the concept of pets it’s kinda weird to begin with, tbh.

I certainly think individuals can and do and was not calling anyone out in particular.

I think the larger culture still recognizes it as a pro-colonialism holiday though. Folks still celebrate Columbus Day too even with a full on rebrand.

Which I still am confused by where that idea originated from.....

Delicious roasted in their own juices and served with pan gravy

I think Columbus Day is pretty close to dead except amongst white nationalists.

Big fan. Babies/toddlers especially.

To be fair, I also really like puppies and kittens. Little stuffs be so cute

I was trying to ignore that Italians still love the guy. I didn’t want to put that stink on them. Also, in the list of all the things they are honoring, Columbus isn’t on the list

I’ve had children and I’ve had pets. I took measures to never have more children.
