The Great Thanksgiving Hoax

[Tyrant]

The official story then has the Pilgrims living more or less happily ever after, each year repeating the first Thanksgiving. Other early colonies also have hard times at first, but they soon prosper and adopt the annual tradition of giving thanks for this prosperous new land called America.

The problem with this official story is that the harvest of 1621 was not bountiful, nor were the colonists hardworking or tenacious. 1621 was a famine year and many of the colonists were lazy thieves.

To rectify this situation, in 1623 Bradford abolished socialism. He gave each household a parcel of land and told them they could keep what they produced, or trade it away as they saw fit. In other words, he replaced socialism with a free market, and that was the end of famines.

Most squaws are too butt ugly to fuck, but since a few were decent enough for a quick plugging over a fallen log by a white man with a gun; this is the only reason there's any injuns left around to take advantage of the welfare system and scam on casinos.


Pass the fucking gravy!
