Happy (real) Thanksgiving

Canada isn’t a real country anyway.

The boy is so edgy when he cries about @Spaceturkey owning him. I think I found a pic of him.

It wouldn't be proper if I didn't share a YouTube video about private property.

Wow, what a cheerful video. Can you go one day without shitting on this country? You're almost as bad as those pesky Canadians.

Canada's turkey day is based approximately on harvest cycles... we've got some shitty history, but that thanksgiving isn't all that adjacent to it.

America's is a celebration of perfidy - notable in that eventually launched a genocide against the first nations on the basis that they "weren't real countries" either.

Man, 50000 years already?

since the last time the Leafs won the Cup?

sounds about right

1. I didn’t make the video, so it’s not me shitting on anything.

2. Interesting that you think reminding people that this country has committed genocide is “shitting on it.”

3. One could ask if it’s possible for you not to post stupid shit, but we all know that’s impossible.

4. Blind loyalty to anything or anyone is the path to tyranny and oppression and it’s good to remind people of that, especially at times when it would make them uncomfortable.

Liberals have been reminding us of how horrible the US is for decades now. WE KNOW! You can shut up now. I watched your video, it's your turn now.

Sure, when you agree to start doing something to make up for it.

Nope. I neither asked nor expected you to watch it. Nor has anything I've posted hinged on the content of that video.

Your hypocrisy is noted.

And your idiocy is once again on display.

How convenient that you posted a video that you expected nobody to watch, thus absolving yourself of any responsibility. Good trick, I’ll remember that next time I post a video.

We've literally been having this same discussion for years now. You're almost as bad as the Memento guy at remembering stuff.

FYI, letting us live in your head rent free like this is technically socialism.

There's lots to be proud of as an American.

The whitewashed version of history they promulgate with Thanksgiving ain't one of them.

Just admit you want to scarf down turkey.

You don't need a set day for that shit.

Remember that time when FF thought that private property rights meant that if someone traveled a creek on his property he could threaten them with a shotgun?

Good times.

Nah, not really. That's a retcon. The "first Thanksgiving" of myth was neither the first day of thanks in human history nor the origin of the modern holiday. The modern holiday dates to Abraham Lincoln in 1863, and given what other enterprise Lincoln was engaged in at that time, I'm cool with celebrating it.

Is there a reason you felt that you needed to bring that up?

IIRC, Washington had also instituted a day of giving thanks, but Lincoln made it an official holiday.

You brought up private property.

So? That doesn’t mean you had to be a jerk and bring up something from nearly a decade ago that I conceded I was wrong about.

Goddamn you're such a fucking crybaby.

No it's great because it really illustrates quite effectively how much of an idiot you are

property, especially as pertains to real estate, is entirely dependent on threat of force?

although the Lincoln connection... not sure that's a great thing once native rights (and lands) are considered any more than the pilgrim pogrom?



"Passing from the consideration of the possible, to that of the actual, we find yet further reason to deny the rectitude of property in land. It can never be pretended that the existing titles to such property are legitimate. Should any one think so, let him look in the chronicles. Violence, fraud, the prerogative of force, the claims of superior cunning—these are the sources to which those titles may be traced. The original deeds were written with the sword, rather than with the pen: not lawyers, but soldiers, were the conveyancers: blows were the current coin given in payment; and for seals, blood was used in preference to wax. Could valid claims be thus constituted? Hardly. And if not; what becomes of the pretensions of all subsequent holders of estates so obtained? Does sale or bequest generate a right where it did not previously exist? Would the original claimants be nonsuited at the bar of reason, because the thing stolen from them had changed hands? Certainly not. And if one act of transfer can give no title, can many? No: though nothing be multiplied for ever, it will not produce one. Even the law recognises this principle. An existing holder must, if called upon, substantiate the claims of those from whom he purchased or inherited his property; and any flaw in the original parchment, even though the property should have had a score intermediate owners, quashes his right."
Herbert Spencer
Social Statics, 1851

now reflect that.
Conservatives have been trying to convince you that everything is fine... so long as you do it their way, which clearly isn't fine for far too many people.

I know I'm not wrong, Bill W. You're the biggest baby we've ever had.
