    For those of you outside the U.S. who don’t know, Thanksgiving is basically a simultaneous celebration and revision of the genocide of the indigenous peoples of North America where people eat turkey and disgusting green bean slop.

      I, for one, enjoy said green bean slop, especially with extra fried-to-unrecognizable onion strings

      The backstory is revisionist bullshit, sure. But in modern reality it’s basically just a yearly harvest meal to spend with your family and friends.

        Just don’t ask the racist uncle whether the backstory is revisionist bullshit.
