Night of the Evil Butterball

The greasy-lipped masters have to be laughing like hell as they reach across their table of plunder and rip off another drumstick… [More]

That links to my traditional Thanksgiving essay, first posted in 2000.

May your day be as filled with gratitude and love as much as mine has always been, and blessedly free from stupid people with no manners.

Aren’t you subjects glad you took in refugees from Guyana, so their offspring could bring diversity, equity and exclusion to your study old laws and work in the interests of all Britons?

Hey, the better to punish you for speaking out on social media against your blessed plot, your earth,your realm, your England being repurposed…

Not like the fascist U.S., where a jury trial is codified as a right

Would you?

Universities, school districts nationwide call for ‘decolonizing’ Thanksgiving: ‘Day of mourning’ [More]

These are the same sanctimonious useful idiots who either refuse to have anything to do with family that won’t drink their Kool-Aid, or demand to ruin the day for everybody else with indignant preaching.

I’ll be hosting a family/friend gathering tomorrow. I’m thankful there is no one like that in my life.

And just in time for stimulating table conversation, this “paper” from 2020:

How Colonization Fostered Public Mass Gun Violence in the US (and what Education and Society can do about it)
By Stephanie Glick, PhD
This paper positions public mass gun violence (PMGV) as an intergenerational consequence of the violence of colonization, coloniality, and slavery in the United States. I map how the shooter’s white privilege, alongside his white/male fragility, combined with a national consciousness built on an ethos of colonization and coloniality, leads him to believe he has unearned “rights” to the social riches of the center. I proffer that most of us who benefit from capitalist, neo-liberal, patriarchal state and social institutions are complicit in co-creating the conditions that produce PMGV’s gunboys and gunmen because in order to benefit from these institutions, we perpetuate a system of insiders and outsiders. As illustrated, some possibilities for allaying violence are grounded in practicing critical self-reflection and capacities for discomfort.

Stephanie sounds like the type who’d tell you turkey is murder.
