4th of July has made me realize America worships the concept of everything. Same with Christmas, Thanksgiving, memorial day.

I feel depressed about it. People get lost in this... illusion and praise and worship it.

I can't shake my perception that having too many active messages makes you look like a no-life loser who is chronically online.

Not really. There were 16 mass shootings across the country yesterday. Plus the fireworks don't agree with my dog (who freaked the hell out) and other people's animals. Thanksgiving is about giving thanks for the things you have yet not hours later those same people are shoving and trampling people for cheap shit and football is not for everyone. Christmas is one of if not the worst one. Just another corporate cash grab.

His post did remind me to go onto a music video on YouTube of a country song that I found to be provocative and dare everyone there to fight me.

Your post didnt give me shitting on the soldiers vibes in the first place. The emphasis was on the government sending them to their deaths and thus fuck that government, not the soldiers.

Too many people responded to Afghanistan and Iraq by taking it out on the troops when they dont call the shots (bad pun) and really didnt have much choice.

Although you make a fair point, it doesnt excuse the fact that many people responded to 9/11 by enlisting in order for revenge or defending this country or whatever. But granted, the government did lie to everyone for years in order to fight an unjust war. Idk, the 2000s were a strange time in our history and is the direct result of where we are now as a society

Yeah, I wasnt referring to every single soldier individually, just in general. Besides the ones you describe there, you also have the war criminals. Fuck those guys for sure.

I don't know if people stampeding each other to death is a Black Friday tradition anymore. Many of our large retailers have thier holiday sales available online on the internet, sometimes even weeks before Thanksgiving, allowing Americans to stay safe at home with their loved ones as they give thanks and gratitude.

You don't have to engage in all the ritual. You can if you want.

If you live with people that sort of insist that you do, do what you must to make them happy or minimize conflict... but otherwise just engage with these holidays how you like or ignore them as best you can.
