Yeah! Those poors shouldn’t enjoy partaking in a uniquely American holiday custom with an enormous outpouring of charity! /s

My family was intermittently on food stamps when I was growing up, and during those years my parents always found a free (or steeply discounted) turkey, and food banks always had enough fresh potatoes, onions, etc. to feed everybody. We barely spent any money, and it was an occasion to bond as a family as we all chipped in to prepare for the big meal. There’s really only so much poultry, potato, and reconstituted stale bread that you can eat in one sitting. The rest fed our family for weeks on leftovers.

If you want to target a holiday for “wasteful consumerism” maybe try American Christmas. But, even then, I’ve got a story for you…

True, but there’s gotta be a line between “controversially unpopular” and “truly deranged (and therefore also unpopular).”

Or the courts will find some way to single out CA’s map; like the fact that they even had a public referendum makes it illegal … Maybe that’s a bit cynical, but that’s where I’m at these days.

I’m accused of being a witch

Witch? Nah. Sealion? Yah.

lol this thread is off the rails and should probably get modded

My summary of the conversation so far: @PugJesus@piefed.social offered evidence of some (supposedly controversial) event. @Objection@lemmy.ml rejected it outright without offering any competing evidence. Both are, according to the other, somehow a variety of fascist bootlicker. The shitposting aura is weak; too serious.
