We Are So Good

By Jorge Majfud on November 30, 2020

In the United States, the largest annual holiday, Thanksgiving, commemorates and celebrates the brotherhood between the new Anglo settlers and the Native Indians who saved them from cold and hunger, one winter back in the early 17th century. The Native people welcomed the European intruders and a few years later the intruders massacred the Natives themselves because they were savages.

The history of endless massacres of savages in the name of civilization and freedom will be repeated for centuries, while the tender tradition of Thanksgiving will be consolidated year after year for centuries to come. Every year in the United States, Christians serve themselves succulent dinners to give thanks for being such good people.

Every year, more than forty million turkeys are sacrificed during this holiday, which is why the president of the United States will have to pardon one of them, a representative of the Pavo minority, a white turkey, in the White House to demonstrate the goodness of power.

Something like the famous fair play of the English, according to which the civilized and developed venerate respect for rules. Not by chance, an invention of the empire that invaded more countries and violated more rules around the world for centuries.
