I went to work the day after Thanksgiving and it was so sad.
I was the only one who spent Thanksgiving with their family,
Anyone who had a positive opinion of Thanksgiving, "couldn't" or "wouldn't" spend it with family because of Covid,
And those who possibly could, when I asked how their Thanksgiving went, gave very hostile answers of it being a day to "celebrate genocide and massacre"
When I tried to argue that no matter what happened in the past, it can be a nice holiday if you take it as a day to spend time with your family, and be happy and thankful together, then it beats out whatever negativity there is.
"Nope, its glorifying massacre."
Oh well, I hope you all got to spend Thanksgiving with your family, and enjoyed your time!
I share your sentiments a lot of my friends who identify as leftist liberal actually don’t have good relationships with their family or they are godless and in some cases both.
It seems to me that leftism attracts the ones in our society that have been dealt the worst hands in terms of familial relationships and socioeconomic position. It seems that there is a growing number of individuals that want to live off the government and don’t want to work for the things they have. Or they want to be handed government jobs in which they don’t have to do much in exchange for a high salary.
I think the left also represents a portion of the population that has been largely demoralized and and because of their weakened mental states it makes it easier to propagandize them.
I’m not a social scientist so I haven’t really done a deep dive into this topic but I think that there might be a kernel of truth to what I’m saying.
Destruction of the family, so that they turn to the government and corporations, as a replacement "family" and to fall in line with whatever they push.
