What’s moreso ironic about Thanksgiving is, it as a Holiday, is further a victim of a form of Holiday imperialism.
So like, we have Christmas right? And it’s been turned into just insane consumerism for years.
And from that consumerism spawned “Black Friday.”
Which in and of itself, has practically become its own Holiday, and Thanksgiving is becoming some afterthought. In advertising, media, etc. you barely see anything about Thanksgiving anymore,it’s all about pushing Black Friday, and no also “Cyber Monday” sales. Members of my family sit around at Thanksgiving and actually plan out where they are going for Black Friday. It’s sickening.
So we are basically watching a Holiday based on colonialism, being consumed by a kind of holiday imperialism…
No, not insane, perfectly sane rambling. The USA is so insanely full of extreme dialectics that it makes one’s head spin constantly. This country has figured out how to make people feel like boot licking is freedom and that everyone must assault each other for the “best deals of the year” (which is a lie itself but unrelated to the point of the rant so we’ll move on) literally hours after supposedly being thankful for the people, life, and things we already have.
