Thanksgiving Day to be repealed and replaced?

Image


Students at universities across the nation are marching in a movement to repeal Thanksgiving Day and replace it with an alternative called "Thinkguilty Day."

The movement was started by University of California, Berkeley student Ima Weiner, who is president and founding member of the Campus Communist Club of the People (CCCP).

Describing the reasons for the proposed change, Weiner stated, "Thanksgiving is a day created by cishet white men to celebrate their dominance over and oppression of non-cishet non-white non-men. It is an insult that has been tolerated for far too long by the oppressive, capitalist, cishet white male society in which we are forced to live—if we can even call this meager, pathetic, pitiful, deprived existence 'living.' This is something for which cishet white men should feel guilt, not gratitude. Substituting Thanksgiving Day with Thinkguilty Day will force oppressor classes to exchange the giving of thanks for their privilege with the thinking of guilt for their oppressiveness."

Weiner's idea for repealing and replacing Thanksgiving Day came to her when she witnessed Oleg Tatrigayu, a cisgendered heterosexual white man, expressing his thanks to God for being able to enjoy the freedom and prosperity of the United States.

Weiner explained, "I saw this cishet white man oppressing others with his public display of privilege, and realized that rather than giving thanks to the white man's deity for their unjust privilege seized through theft, genocide, and slavery, white people should be wallowing in guilt, regret, and self-loathing for all of the atrocities committed by people who looked like them. To confront and eliminate this sort of oppression, is, after all, the whole reason I founded the CCCP."

Weiner recorded evidence on her phone of the public display of privilege committed by Oleg Tatrigayu, but declined to play it on the grounds that it triggers her.

When asked to respond to Weiner's complaints, Tatrigayu explained that he was a Ukrainian immigrant who fled the Soviet Communist regime, under which his land and possessions had been confiscated, his family and community starved and murdered, and he himself subjected to forced labor in a Soviet gulag before escaping to the United States.

"I have no desire to trigger anyone," said Oleg Tatrigayu. "I'm just happy to be free from the theft, genocide, and slavery my people endured under Communist rule."

In observance of Thinkguilty Day, Weiner suggests that members of oppressor classes (cishets, whites, males, Christians, capitalists, etc.) replace expressions of gratitude with expressions of guilt, football with self-flagellation, and feasting with fasting, and support the Thinkguilty Day movement on social media by tweeting out #GuiltNotGratitude.

The movement to repeal and replace Thanksgiving has begun to amass widespread support among college students, Democrat politicians, and Leftist activists.

Shaun King, a black Caucasian activist who recently dubbed "ungrateful" the new n-word, was among the first to applaud Weiner's proposal on Twitter while adding that "gratitude is the new White Supremacy."

Tatrigayu, meanwhile, has been publicly denounced by University and civil officials, who are demanding he be investigated and tried for hate speech. An anonymous source reports that Tatrigayu has fled California and has been offered political asylum in Russia.

Aspiring Comrade Wilberfarce,

The Berkeley student's korrekt name is actually Sheeza Ima Weiner. Please try to be more careful in future! (which may or may not be bright)

Young people these days! They just can't wait.

In our day, traditional Marxists like us only struggled to culturally appropriate Thanksgiving by promoting the new narrative through the media, entertainment, and academia. It went like this:

During Thanksgiving, as American toiling masses traditionally give thanks to the government for what it has distributed to them, all conscientious members of community are required to experience the following emotions:

  • deep gratitude to the government for letting them live;
  • feeling of their own unworthiness compared to the magnanimity of the state;
  • everlasting guilt for consuming what they have not produced, as well as for not giving back to the community according to their abilities.

But I guess our work here is done and the long march through the institutions is now complete.

Until we have total power to do it for real that's a very good way to line America up and shoot it.

The Peoples Cube U educational online video series needs to have one about Thanksgiving. What's The Truth About The First Thanksgiving? The Pilgrims created a socialist paradise that really worked only to have it all sabotaged and destroyed by that greedy capitalist pig Donald Bradford.

With the aid of the peaceful, inclusive, non-judgmental Native Americans, the Pilgrims created a socialist paradise…

Thank you for your clarification, Captain. I say "clarification" because in journalism school we learned that reporters and journalists such as myself should never issue a correction or retraction, for that would imply false reporting on our part, which would cause the masses to doubt us, the Real News Media, as the only reliable source of all objective truth...and we know that a Real News Agency like the Peoples' Cube would never publish anything untrue.

The youth to which I have spoken are conflicted about the government these days. On the one hand, they recognize the government as the source of all good gifts, and something deserving of their unconditional trust and gratitude. On the other hand, they condemn the current administration as the source of all evil, deserving of only scorn and indignation. These conflicting feelings are to be blamed on, of course, the racist, capitalist, cishet, white men who dethroned the greatest President in American history, stole the inheritance from his rightful successor, and staged a coup to install an illegal dictator named ****** *****. I suspect the desperation of the situation explains their less subtle approach.

Dear me, does this mean that bridge, whist, and other such card-playing activities must be banned lest their references to "t***p" trigger the vapors in bystanders? Come to think of feel about it, these "games" should be banned anyway as a bourgeois wasting of time, not to mention monarchist references to kings and queens (which is also a homophobic trigger word), elitist emphasis on "winning" and "losing," and all manner of hate crimes. Fie! Down with it all!

What was the topic again? I fear I have once more become confused....

As a former (ah, memories..) connoisseur of boob belt aesthetics, I have to admit that Ima/Sheeza/Zeyura Weiner is quite a capacity...
