I fucking hate thanksgiving, I hate the history behind it, I hate how people act, I hate what it promotes, I’m am going to do something at my family’s thanksgiving this year and I need ideas people. I want to make everyone as uncomfortable as possible, like how uncomfortable I feel whenever some chud in my family decides to rant about the gays or the blacks, im fucking done tolerating this shitty holiday and pretending like family matters at all in any context by giving a giant FU to everyone there. My experience ain’t unique here, all of us amerikkkans have experienced actual fucking pain during thanksgiving.

Is there something leftists could collectively do online to show solidarity against this stupid holiday, what should I do to make everyone go home early without eating the food? I don’t plan on ever getting invited to one of these things again so let me hear your best ideas. My plan as it is now is to sabotage the cooking, turn off the oven, drop the turkey on the floor, maybe flip a table. Once the food is ruined I’ll probably yell some anti colonial slogan that’s along the lines of “none of you deserve to live” before making a quick exit and hopefully not getting arrested. I want to be as malicious as possible, I have very few threads left to my natal family and severing them seems a necessary step to becoming a better communist.

    An actual good thing to do would be to just aggressively counter bigotry from your family members. Call out their racist and homophobic comments, call out their toxic liberalism. Don't just let that shit ride, do something about it.

    Being an asshole and torching shit for no reason achieves nothing but actively undermining everything else you say and do.

      I cannot control these bigots with words, only actions will not even change their minds, just get them to be afraid of speaking it. That’s what I want. I want my whole extended family to be afraid to fucking speak because what they have to say is trash. They don’t deserve the right to speak or think any independent thoughts because it’s always the libs fault and to them the libs are anyone who isn’t a god fearing white Christian. Like I mean lib in the American context here, not lib economic, but like the most frustrating part of this is THEY KNOW THE FUCKING DIFFERENCE AND THEY STILL CALL ME A LIB BECAUSE THEY HATE ME

        You have a passionate fire that makes you well suited to making friends with homeless people. Have you considered joining or starting a mutual aid group in your area?

        You have the devotion to the cause obviously, and this making plans proves that you can take action.

        I think that this will be more useful to the cause and you. It will give the cause people who can help in activism (grateful homeless people glad to be participating instead of just getting hand outs) and you (learning to be calm around different opinions)

        Someone might say im mocking you, but im being totally honest. If you can do sustained effort and not just short bursts, then you and homeless outreach are a match made in heaven.

        The homeless people and local irl activists can be a new familly for you. Let go of your pain.
