ThanksTAKING-a celebration of genocide

by WSQT Guerrilla Radio 87.9 FM in DC (WSQTradio [at] hushmail.com)
In late November, North Americans get together to give thanks for what they take in a holday they call "Thanksgiving." It ought to be called "ThanksTAKING" as it is a celebration of the expulsion of millions that cleared the land for all those condos and $1M trophy homes.

People are effectively celebrating the expulsion of Indigenous people from farmland even today so plantations in Central America can ship all that fruit North.

Most of all, people begin celebrating the sweatshop-where all that Yule shopping REALLY starts-the day after "Thankstaking!"

For "Thankstaking" people raise millions of turkeys and other birds(bred to be as fat and alike as possible) in unnatural conditions, and then slaughter them to eat. This is to celebrate the slaughter of MILLIONS OF PEOPLE for their land and makes me want to puke my guts up!
