Hey guys! What is going on? My name is Lily Monroe and you are listening to
Escort Confessions. Thank you so much for joining me here today. So I decided to
have a spontaneous decision of doing the Thanksgiving episode. And why? I hate it!
With passion! So here we are. Now before you start judging me and be like offended
oh why does she hate this American holiday? Here's some of the reasons. Okay?
Okay, hopefully you will learn something about it. I mean whether you care or
disagree. Look, I'm just spreading the news and the real facts about
Thanksgiving, so hopefully you'll enjoy this episode. So first things first. I am
an American citizen. Not by choice, but you know that's a completely different
topic. I do love Christmas and New Year because you know I also celebrate those
in my country and I just love you know driving past the rich houses and seeing
all the Christmas lights and spending time with family and friends if I can
and giving them awesome gifts. However, however Thanksgiving and I go back and we
do not like each other. So you know the first reason would be the meaning of
this holiday. Like how many of you actually know the origins of this holiday?
If we go way back Europeans they simply took over the Native American land.
To quote from the source, the Wampanoag people faced enslavement
from European settlers and were pushed off of their homelands in what is now
modern-day Massachusetts. While to most Americans the holiday Thanksgiving
procures images of food, family and fellowship. To the Wampanoag Native
Americans it is a day of mourning. Not mourning isn't like good morning, but
mourning isn't sad. It's all sad. The second reason is that many turkeys that
you buy from the store they are being raised in factory farms. If you guys don't
know what factory farm is, it's a big factory where all the animals are
cramped up and for turkeys their beaks and toes are removed without the
anesthesia. So it's horrible what happens on those. It's absolutely
horrible. Like if you work on the factory farm like I'm gonna come after you
motherfucker because that's I mean the things that you would see there is just
it's horrible. I yeah no comments no comments. And why like are these animals
on those farms? Because society keeps on populating but you probably should stop.
Society should stop populating because there's already many fucking idiots out
there. Sorry, sorry but they really are. It's like every time I go on social
media and see the comments to like simple post it's like oh my god.
It's like everybody has computer and I feel like a lot of
intelligent people stay away from social media because of how stupid it is. But
anyway society keeps on populating. There aren't enough animals in the
world to feed almost 8 billion people and therefore factories have to massively
reproduce animals and later slaughter them. Reason number three. Food and
preparation. You know out of the two years my first two years that I've been
in the United States I did celebrate Thanksgiving. Spent it with family
and friends well with family and I kind of hated the food. Like you know the
turkey it's always dry. Cranberry sauce too sweet. You know and it wasn't because
like my mom cooked it or my stepdad. It's because it just kind of sucked and I
keep hearing people yeah like the turkey is dry. I'm like yeah like chicken is
better. Pork is better especially pulled pork. Yum. But you know the only things I
do remember eating were the pies. The pumpkin pie and the sweet potato pie.
Those are my favorite. I would just like get in there and just brrrr. But you know it's a lot of
preparation for the people who prepare the food because who just happen to be
women most of the time. And they cook the food like for half the day and later you
would eat it in like less than 30 minutes. So yeah a lot of preparation, a lot
of grocery shopping, lots of spending and shopping. Like you could literally have a
family dinner whenever you can not just on special occasions. You could cook
everybody could pitch in about cooking not just one person for cooking for ten
people. Like everybody could pitch in, cook their own food, cook their favorite
food and just eat it and it's gonna be fine. There's no need to you know prepare
the turkey for like four hours or I'm not sure how long it takes because I
don't like the taste of turkey and yeah. And Thanksgiving is popular for the
football. I don't like football. It's just a bunch of guys running around with shape
of an egg ball thing. And yeah like you watch Macy's Thanksgiving parade and
wherever and then I remember like Thanksgiving is all about like eating
so much food and then you feel guilty about it. No but it's like haha, haha, laughs
about it and yeah it's silly. The other reason is that November is kind of a
sucky month. The weather is cool, the windows cold, it's always cloudy, people
experience seasonal depression due to lack of sunlight and all we kind of want
to do is stay home and just binge watch all the TV shows. Next reason is
Black Friday. Billion dollar companies like Walmart and Target are simply lying
to you that all the items are on sale. They are not. It's a marketing tragedy.
The items cost exactly what they were weeks ago and a lot of customer service
workers are exhausted since they have to work on this holiday so they can provide
for their families at home. I remember working on Black Friday at Joanne Fabrics
it was back in 2014. People are fucking insane and ruthless like they would
literally fight in the store. It's kind of it's kind of funny now that I think
about it. So anyways you should definitely be nice to the customer service workers
who are working and watching the madness instead of being with their own families.
The next reason is everything is closed. So for people like me who don't celebrate
this holiday it's literally a normal day for us. I was at the auto store the
another day and I met this like Mexican lady and she doesn't celebrate
Thanksgiving either. She's like a lot of our workers they just kind of take the
week off and I'm like oh because of Thanksgiving like and they are short
staffed so it's like Thanksgiving it's just another day for me like I want to
go to gym I want to work I want to go skydiving I want to do like you know
rampage at the local police department you know the usual stuff like I want I
want to work yeah and some people they don't want to work but it's fine it's
fine because you know like I I work my own hours I do this and yeah like lots
of people they do deserve a break but everything's closed and it pisses me off
but yeah that would sum it up on my end you know I think that spreading the real
dark history is important the real truth behind Thanksgiving rather than when you
see on TV you know I see a lot of commercials that are like oh spend time
with your family like yeah I think it's great I think it's great that you should
be thankful but you should be thankful every day for a little things like you
know getting out of bed waking up you know having roof over your head food in
your belly and people who actually care about you not just one day a year so
yes it was me you know telling my side of the story but anyways I hope you guys
enjoyed this maybe learned something new but yeah thank you so much for tuning in
