I almost forgot to greet americans for their national holiday today. Maybe because i don’t support the idea of Thanks Giving.
The most hypocritical thing is to call it Thanks Giving. Did the Native Americans give this land to the European conquerors ?
Americans are celebrating the theft of an ancestral pure land.

At least the french in Corsica don’t celebrate the day when they acquired Corsica after the stupid battle of Ponte Novu. But how would they celebrate ? This is such an horrible battle that they prefer us Corsicans not to know about it.
Imagine that the corsican kids are told about the french Revolution, told about this fucking Napoleon, but are totally unaware that the french soldiers in the 1700’s, poured blood at Ponte Novu to conquer corsica, and in the 1800’s, were doing punitive expeditions in corsican villages to kill corsican rebels and their whole family. Sometimes even just for fun, they burned a house or two.
This is not told.
France doesn’t want my people to know. They don’t teach this in schools, this part of history is not even told at the university. Because knowledge is dangerous.

How i wouldn’t like to be a Native American today.
