it's normal to celebrate a monstrous human being?

i think we need to challenge what's normal.

i do think just changing it to Indigenous People's Day is kind of shit - like... ask Indigenous People if there is a day or anything that's significant, not "here are the leftovers of this other fucked up thing we did"

90% of most people dont know that. And more importantly, the majority of those who do, do not care. Especially Italian-Americans. -- nm - Jovian Oct 14, 13:07 8
- But that's why the holiday is needed, no? -- nm - con_carne Oct 14, 13:16 7
  - No. Not now. Not when we have a fascist that has dominated US politics for the past 8 years. -- nm - Jovian Oct 14, 13:18 6
    - Chose your battles wisely, as they say. This is a self-inflicted wound by Democrats. -- nm - Jovian Oct 14, 13:19 5
      - Bro, what battle? The holiday started in 1992. Anyone who doesn't like it can write their Representatives or get bent, don't you think? -- nm - con_carne Oct 14, 13:26 4
        
        Yes yes write their to Rep. Right. Or. Just much easier to just vote for the guy who refuses to call it Indigenous People -- (edited) - Jovian Oct 14, 13:32 3
        
        So you think this holiday which has been around since 92 should be taken away because of how a few MAGA might feel about it? -- nm - con_carne Oct 14, 13:45 2
        
        I honestly didnt know it was around that wrong. I just know that Republicans have weaponized it. -- nm - Jovian Oct 14, 13:46 1
        
        ceding ground only emboldens bullies, and you of all people should recognize it. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 13:48
