Remember, small impressionable children, oligarchy and rigged market capitalism is the only way, everything else is evil and anti-freedom, and remember to compete against your fellow Americans to try to get more than them!
For our next lesson, critical thinking and reasoning! Just kidding, we don’t do that here. It doesn’t help to make you better laborers.
And now onto history, open your textbooks to page 33:
Damn that picture is pissing me off lol
Imagine what Native Americans must think of such depictions.
Well if they wanted to tell their side of the story, they should’ve won.
Not our fault they didn’t invent guns or a bunch of diseases by domesticating livestock in population centers!
I think it pisses them off too
For First Thanksgiving?
Most of that is believed to have happened or is so cloaked in mythos that any version is likely to be true if you’re talking the American version.
Source, native. The women being there is the thing that’s least likely to be true.
Nearly all of what historians have learned about one of the first Thanksgiving comes from a single eyewitness report: a letter written in December 1621 by Edward Winslow, one of the 100 or so people who sailed from England aboard the Mayflower in 1620 and founded Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts. William Bradford, Plymouth’s governor in 1621, wrote briefly of the event in Of Plymouth Plantation, his history of the colony, but that was more than 20 years after the feast itself.

I’m interested in how Americans pronouncebourgeois.
I personally pronounce it fahrenheit
Burgers
We just say bourgeois
I pronounce it bore-zhwah. Is that wrong?
Feel like that’s as correct as we can get, as Americans.
French pronounce the “ou” as is “tour”. But you do you.
Bore rhymes with tour… no?
Bore rhymes with tore. Tour is closer to sewer
I’ve never heard anyone pronounce “tour” as rhymes with “sewer” in English. Perhaps in other languages?
Boo shwa zee
as long as the French get offended by the pronunciation, then it’s pronounced correctly in American
Borzshwah
‘Boojz wah’, or if I’m feeling silly bourguignon. But I’d probably be more likely to use ‘middle class’ instead of the French.
