Thankless Pilgrims: A Tale of Treachery and Darkness
Show Notes
Once upon a twisted time, the un-hallowed halls of Thanksgiving history reveal a tale far darker than first believed...
The charming lies of tablecloth and cranberry sauce shield a sinister truth, dearie. As the Pilgrims sailed forth, the shadows of their deeds were cast not in beneficence, but in betrayal. Beneath the cheerful, feathered headdress of school plays lies a cold ledger of deceit, where Native blood was spilt with no thanks nor remorse. Our fabled holiday, my sweet, stains its tablecloth with the crimson reality of greed and domination.
Beneath jovial turkey gluttony, what truly lingers is a banquet of treachery — treaty after broken treaty, land stripped from the rightful hands, and a legacy of oppression masked as celebration. The pumpkins deceivingly sweet, coated in the saccharine glaze of false gratitude, mask the bitterness within. So, dear listener, indulge in the feast, but remember: history’s truth is not always served warm and welcoming.
