"Thanksgiving" parade disrupted
by Free Palestine protestors and it was a glorious sight
News that made me say some people deserve burnt pie
Free Palestine protesters disrupted the Macy’s “Thanksgiving Day” parade as everyone should because no one should be celebrating genocide ever. I watched the videos over and over again because watching people disrupting a celebration of genocide makes me very happy. No one should be giddily clapping and enjoying a float to commemorate genocide.
This is also why I love it when people get into arguments with their families during “thanksgiving” dinner. If you insist on cooking a large feast to celebrate the murder of indigenous people, I hope that feast is tainted by everyone in the household arguing with each other. Bonus, if everyone gets so heated that they refuse to eat the meal.
I know this sounds petty, but I want you to know that I don’t wish for the arguments to be about very serious things. It would be over something like, I can’t believe you borrowed my shirt in the fifth grade and never returned it. You are so selfish. Anyway, I’ll stop being petty and get back to the protestors.
The protestors at the “Thanksgiving” parade unfurled a banner saying “genocide then, genocide now”. Obviously the people who were there to watch the parade didn’t appreciate their celebration of genocide being disrupted booed the protestors. I really hope these people who went to celebrate genocide had a horrible “thanksgiving” dinner. I hope their turkey was burned and their sweet potato pie never fully cooked. If you are booing people protesting genocide, you don’t deserve tasty sweet potato pie. You deserve a sweet potato pie that’s charred and burned on the outside with an uncooked center. I know, I’m being petty again, but I think you agree.
The protestors were also met with cheers from people holding palestinian flags on the parade route. The people cheering, they deserve sweet potato pie and whipped cream. This is the type of support the people who are putting their bodies out there to destroy the mythology of this country deserve. The so-called United States of America creates myths like this country was founded by lovers of democracy so people who live here can be proud to be part of an evil empire. No one really wants to be part of something evil, except for Joe Biden and all presidents of the United States.
Imagine working your whole life just so that you can be the person in charge of war crimes.
When these protestors glued themselves to the ground wearing clothes stating “capitalism” and “colonialism” while dousing themselves in blood, they showed the truth about America. They disrupted the myth that “thanksgiving” is all about joy. If you were to ask me, the protestors were actually giving the viewers the real “thanksgiving” parade.
Showing or telling the truth about America does come at a cost. In these protesters’ case, it was being arrested. In my case, it’s people saying I’m always being negative. Oh I’m sorry I brought up the prison industrial complex at your party. Next time I’ll talk about how crispy the carrots are, then talk about the oppressive conditions farm workers face.
That’s it for the news, but don’t go yet
I went to the National Day of Mourning in Plymouth on so-called “thanksgiving” day. It was life changing. You can watch the recording of the livestream of the event here.
Keep protesting, the cops are getting tired and quitting.
This week on TikTok I wished Joe Biden a very unhappy birthday.
