Isn't funny how unironic fascists also think the same exact thing about America? Only difference is they think jews are holding America back. What do you think is holding back America from nuking the world into submission?

>>2576142
Well it can't be popular discontent insofar as Mamdani hasn't even been sworn in, but the xitter DSA people who talk like little drones are definitely disappointed and/or in damage control mode

Americans love to pretend that other people are always the problem and not themselves. Your post is a reflection of that.

T. Guy who comes here everyday about how Amerikkkans are behind everything wrong in his life.

Pardoning the turkey is one of the most quintessentially American traditions.

Firstly, it's pure spectacular nonsense meant to put a softer image on one of the most brutal tyrants on earth. It's extremely kitsch and intentionally a misapplication of political power. That's actually a key part of what it's doing. The very act of using Presidential power for something it's not meant for is the point. You are supposed to associate the President misuing powers with harmless funny shenanigans, particularly the power to decide life and death. Pardoning the turkey also presumes some kind of guilt, which the ritual is meant to normalize. It's up to the Great Man to do Great Things and hand out rewards or punishments.

Secondly, of course, this is also a Turkey, which obviously is not capable of committing a crime for which it could theoretically be pardoned. The point of this is to implicate turkeys as a whole (by their nature) since no individual turkey can offend. Subconsciously, this is designed to reinforce racial hatred and notions of collective guilt. The turkey is in effect "one of the good ones" who will be spared from the turkey holocaust, which is meant to symbolically absolve not so much this or any turkeys, but all of us who are partaking in and benefiting from the mass killing. Now, I'm not saying this to make a vegan argument, but rather that turkeys in the ritual context of the ceremony are meant to stand in for racialized people who have been targeted with actual genocides associated with Thanksgiving.

Thirdly, the treatment of the turkey as "one of the good ones" who is to be spared the horrors of the dinner table is a reflection of America's hyper-individualism. This is one turkey out of millions who will not be chewed up by the (sometimes literal) meat grinder, and this special case is supposed to dominate our social consciousness and mask the normal, banal death and destruction it wages. The exception is the rule, we are to believe. This is true of the "American Dream" of rags to riches just as it's true of highlighting the scant political successes of the past as examples of the country's greatness, ignoring all its catastrophic failures and crimes. You, yes you, will definitely be The One who makes it out because You are special and different from the others.

Sure it's all very absurd and it's fine to laugh at it, but you should understand that it's a kind of intentional self-aware and intentional absurdity, and it's a functional piece of propaganda expressing and reinforcing important components of America's ideology.

Its to celebrate the natives

How do you guys never get bored of just trolling the Amerikkkans all day everyday? Do you guys get paid to do this? Or you just have nothing better to do with your life?

It's a harvest festival like any other really, we just have some weird mythos about it

A penny saved, is a penny lost by porky.

isn't it a story about how native americans helped european squatters to not starve to death and then the latter proceeded to kill everybody in repayment?

All that weirdo native bullshit story they added on top has nothing to do with the actual origin. The Puritans were celebrating thanksgiving in England before they came.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Days_of_humiliation_and_thanksgiving
>Puritans rejected the traditional Christian liturgical calendar of holy days, including Easter and Christmas, as well as saints' days, but set aside special days to thank God, as well as days of prayer and fasting.[A][2] Days of thanksgiving and days of humiliation were public observances in Protestant Christianity, particularly among Puritan communities in early modern England and colonial America. A day of humiliation or fasting was a publicly proclaimed day of fasting and prayer in response to an event thought to signal God's judgement. A day of thanksgiving was a day set aside for public worship in thanksgiving for events believed to signal God's mercy and favor. Such a day might be proclaimed by the civil authority or the church.[3]

Your hypothesis is largly founded, but the dick is as far up their ass as its always been. A higher stage of dick riding has been achieved, and nothing else.

It has nothing to do with that. That's some made up bullshit they retconned it with:

IIRC Thanksgiving was created during or after the civil war. The Union won a couple of major victories and Lincoln wanted a day to commemorate peace and unity for the whole country. He asked his advisors to look for events in the past to create a holiday around and “the first Thanksgiving” was the one chosen.

The actual event itself was, if I recall correctly, both the Purtians holding a feast to commemorate surviving the winter (the previous winter many in the colony starved to death) and inviting the Wampanoag tribe as restitution when a couple of puritans had been caught for stealing corn. They later formed an alliance with the Wampanoag that lasted for almost half a century and I think even fought on wars alongside them until later English colonists came and pushed them out.

>>2576176
Why?

>>2576153
Funny you avoided the question. If America was fascist genociders and nothing but pure evil why don't they strategically nuke South America, Central America and Africa to force them into abject slavery and complete their control over the third world? We all know EU, China and Russia would do nothing in response.
>>2576176
Story?

Since we’re talking settlers and all that. Anyone else remember reading a book about a like a 14 year old boy who’s dad left for a 6 month journey and was like “you stay and watch the cabin bye!” And he befriends a native kid and he teaches the native kid to read and the native kid teaches to hunt. He was reading Robinson Cureso to the native and got to the point where Robison save a native and that native like pledges servitude and it pissed his friend off so he retconned the whole whole book on the fly so they end up being partners.

why is western "evil" so fucking stupid. I would have at least respected it if it was "smart" but nah its lets depend on oil and old energy sources instead of new ones.
Like christ even if you ignore climate change, renewable sources are still beneficial. It theoretically presents way less costs than traditional energy sources.

>>2576184
>It theoretically presents way less costs than traditional energy sources.
Like if western economies want to remain competitive to china, you would think they would fund a lot of renewable energy. But nope, instead they are suppressing it????

>>2576185
They are funding renewables but all the excess energy is going into A.I bullshit. Ironically Texas is like the number 1# to number 2# state for wind and solar.

>>2576187
Is your sister single?

Its fucking amazing. I wouldnt care so much if it was smart "evil" but no ITS GENUINE 100 percent complete retardation. HOLY FUCKING CLOWN WORLD

Generally speaking setting up a new technology is expensive when using already established tech is relatively cheap in comparison. Here a report from a few years ago saying America would need to at least a trillion dollars to revamp it's electric grid system.

yeah but refusing to upgrade it right now when your competitor is advancing (china), is long term suicide. Its like america has no long term planning……..

don't celebrate thanksgiving. ruin all thanksgiving celebrations.

>>2576189
Damn, Trump is truly a retard. The thing about renewables is that they were competition with fossil fuels with a fraction of the subsidies and under constant political attack. They're prolly going to move to just outright ban them or regulate it so much only the rich will have access to it. The reason porky hates renewables is they work to well and decentralize energy production. One the reasons I think micro-generation is the path forward to push renewables by offering it for free for suburbia and landlords. As a short term solution of course, just undercut energy companies and turn them all into basically grid managers making it easier to liquidate them into a state asset once they become unprofitable.

There's apparently a scene from the Hannibal prequel novel where he joins the French Communist Party and writes a couple articles on Soviet collectivization to get into the USSR, and when he's arrested for being a murderous cannibal a bunch of communists protest it.

The "murder a random woman from Comedy Central and double-deal on hostage taking" really does seem like there are still dudes who are just violent sadists that want to mask it in supposed socialist ideology.

>>2576237
I was thinking last night that you have to be a little messed up in the head to be in to politics possible projection either that or completely selflessness most people aren't, felix is clearly unstable thoughever

>>2575958
I like how film crews are bourgeise enemies to felix but hotel workers are proles, i think it has to do with the fact that felix is a hotel worker and not a camera man

>>2576237
"He's a monster. I think of him as one of those pitiful things that are born in hospitals from time to time. They feed it, and keep it warm, but they don't put it on the machines and it dies. Felix is the same way in his head, but he looks normal and nobody could tell."

>fracking wells are already at energy return on investment ratios of 4:1 (7:1 is the minimum for industrial civilization so fracking is literally subsidized by other forms of energy),
>the wells will deplete more making the energy return on investment lower
>so our society will be made literally energy pooer
>as the rest of the world goes in on solar and wind because it makes economic sense
>america in the future is not only absolutely poorer in terms of having access to less energy it well be relatively less prosperous relative to the rest of the world
>by the time the remaining oil somewhere where its not worth to bring it up in terms of EROI
>we will be financially too broke to by a modern grid
>may easily by the most destructive long design to the US the pedophile senile retard in chief
At least the oil companies get to make money a little longer
jk none. Of this is relevant because climate will kill us in ten years , just pretending the future exists

So when I talked to a few people in the CPUSA (they'll remain nameless) you know I saw a few that were raised Catholic and wanted to grow up to be Priests or Nuns, like a few even went as far as doing the initial work to go to Seminary.

I think quite a lot of people get into politics, the more niche kind I suppose, because of some moral compunctions and strong feelings of right and wrong. However I think just as likely there are those who adopt politics as a kind of super-ego and dream of just decades of torturing and brutalizing everyone they dislike. Their order is taking too long at the restaurant and they imagine the possibility of putting the waiter in a concentration camp.

>>2576058
>why won't you share your emotions
<okay i feel like crap
>fuck you for making me deal with your emotions unpaid
lmao

>>2576244
fracking started at 1:1 EROEI IIRC. And shale deposits are kinda huge, so it's not likely that they'll deplete too much for a while. But it's only really gonna make sense for the US.

>>2576247
Of course the people in the "C"PUSA tried to join the most reactionary organization in the history of the world, the KKKatholiKKK Church. When that failed, they joined the second most reactionary organization, the "C"PUSA. If you think that you learn right and wrong from the Bible you are even more reactionary than I thought you were, and frankly I already think the only substantive difference between you and Goering is honesty.

death to the Trumpist Burger Reich™ appeasement agenda. Genealogy tried to warn us in Eurovision with their song which was originally called "Don't Deny". Hayastan and Sakartvelo is falling thanks to P*tin's Psy-Op and his puppets like Ivanishvili and Trump. I recognise that Nagorno-Karabakh as Armenian. "Muh Christianity!", MAGAists say when in reality Hayastan was the first Christian country. Face the facts, Trumpists
