The holiday is based in complete opposition to what you claim.

This is akin to fearing Christmas because long dead Christians killed millions in the Crusades. Not that wrongs weren’t done or that they ought be covered up, but the “fear” is misplaced.

I’m not claiming anything, I posted an article. I will say though, this is from the link you posted:

Americans generally believe that their Thanksgiving is modeled on a 1621 harvest feast shared by the English colonists (Pilgrims) of Plymouth and the Wampanoag Indians.

We shared more than a feast. Thousands of native Americans were wiped out due to smallpox and other European diseases that their bodies were unfamiliar with.

Literally nobody gives a **** about the ACTUAL real meaning, nor the “celebration of a holocaust” this jerkoff is fabulous personging on about. Nobody in America gives a **** about what ANY holiday actually means except fringe extremists who make it a point to tell everyone how much better they are because they won’t give into the commercialization of some arbitrary celebration about who gives a ****.

I agree. And sure, I am a “fringe extremist”, but I’m not trying to tell anyone I’m better than they are. Having attended public schools in the US I understand how little actual history is taught to the general public. I don’t even agree with everything this guy is saying, but reading and learning about alternate viewpoints is an important thing that’s been omitted from American education just like Jesus from Christmas (lol, Jesus). No, I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving. That has a lot to do with not enjoying spending the day with my parents and very little to do with politics though.
