I’m like going to actively destroy my family’s thanksgiving this year, I wouldn’t be a true communist if I didn’t put my beliefs into practice. (hexbear.net)

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.

I’m sorry, but this shit is hella funny. The idea of someone purposefully dropping the turkey on the floor while yelling at their family members about how awful they all are. Like come on that’s hilarious.

You want more ideas and too many people moralizing. I’ll give you some ideas

I’m sure there’s situations or family events that people avoid like the plague. Bring them up repeatedly. Preferably the same one to different groups of people. Really get em talking about it.
Do that thing where you say five people’s names before you get the right one, but do it everytime you talk to someone.
Laugh during the prayer before dinner. Say Inshallah loudly instead of Amen.
Bring a food that stinks up the whole house.
Find a way to play cricket on the TV and then hide the remote.
Ask people if they can “keep it down.” Then whisper when you talk.
One of the most important things you can do is get the younger people in your family on your side. So do things to make them laugh that rile up the older ones.
when they spew their awful takes don’t debate just constantly go psshhhhh. Ed Bassmaster style.
If you do end up dropping the Turkey. Don’t throw it on the ground. Really make a scene out of it. Trip over the turkey after you drop it. You want them feeling bad for you. Also bring tofu and say “Well at least we can all still have Tofurkey.”
You’ve learned one thing with these people. Arguing and shaming doesn’t work in a society that otherwise rewards their shitty behavior. So just derail conversations and have fun. No point in making yourself all riled up for real. If you want to do it for show, fine, but if you’re going to go have fun with it.
