This is what young people are taught today. It’s all so tiresome and stupid.

Syracuse student calls Thanksgiving ‘celebration of genocide’ in campus newspaper columnA Syracuse University student wrote in The Daily Orange, the university’s campus newspaper, that Thanksgiving is a “celebration of genocide.””Thanksgiving is, in essence, a celebration of genocide. The mass rationalization of this fact sustains the contemporary structures that inform American culture itself. Without genocide, the foundation of our traditional American identity falls apart,” Mateo Lopez-Castro wrote in a column last week.Citing the John Sullivan campaign, he said the country at the outset of the American Revolution opted for “mass erasure” instead of peace and diplomacy toward Indigenous people in the country, “creating adequate conditions for the expansion of settler colonialism” and its development as an “independent entity,” Lopez-Castro wrote.Lopez-Castro noted slavery and “white supremacy” as being celebrated throughout literature and film, including the film “Gone With the Wind,” although the U.S. “used the enslavement of African people as the primary tool in their respective genocide.”U.S. society rationalizes genocide, Lopez-Castro claims, and the collective denial of genocide’s effects allows it to survive.”Our entire society was built on genocide and continues to be,” Lopez-Castro wrote.”We have internalized, accepted and standardized it throughout our efforts of cancerous growth. Recent American media, like the 2018 show ‘Yellowstone’ and the 2018 film ‘The Ballad of Buster Scruggs,’ have hesitated from or ignored the accuracy necessary to properly contextualize the role of Indigenous people in their stories,” the student added.Lopez-Castro, a senior studying sociology, television, radio and film, pivoted to the Trump administration’s handling of the dissemination of information about the conflict in Gaza.”Donald Trump’s administration has taken great efforts to silence the truths about the genocide against the Palestinians. It seeks to weaponize our struggles so that we may turn on one another, mold false narratives in the media and whitewash our true history and current reality. It pedestals genocidal campaigns and looks to hand out awards for its accomplices,” Lopez-Castro wrote.
