Ironic since the whole idea of Easter eggs and related bunny and basket are distractions to what Easter actually is - the resurrection of Christ and the holiest day in the Christian calendar.

Same with Christmas.

Not really. Easter is the original biggest Christian holiday. Christmas was added later to distract from the pagan solstice celebrations.

Yeah, Christmas was a minor holiday until around the early 1900's when it was commercialized and presents became "traditional".

So both holidays take place during Roman pagan festivals, because that's when Christians could get time off to celebrate. Jesus was born sometime in March, and was not crucified in April. The egg symbolized fertility, and the Christmas tree is a call out to some Roman paganism.

But what really matters is why you celebrate that time.

Yes, I was just reading that our Christmas is largely based on the Roman holiday of Saturnalia, which happened in late December. It involved gift-giving, feasting, and putting up evergreen boughs in the house.

Roman holiday of Saturnalia

technically the Romans were the first ones to "recognize" a Jesus , so it makes sense that the holiday of Jesus birth would embrace Roman traditions

I like the idea in the video above of taking them to Pajama Boy Trudeau (Fidel Castro's son) country.

The problem with Colorado is they got enough pot-smoking free loaders there. They can't afford subsidizing Biden's Cloward Piven Strategy and Anarcho Tyranny Plan.

The Jews were. Obviously not all of them though.

Redistribution of Wealth! Socialism is Feminism.


Read "The Assemblywomen" written ~350BC by Aristophanes. All the same calls for the same shit: Free meals, free male labor, sharing Chad, all rights, no duties.

Socialism is Feminism, and older than Karl Marx or Saint Just by 2000+ years. The Matriarchal Longhouse is the most ancient form of Marxism.

Tractor Supply Announces End to DEI Initiatives Among Other Sweeping Changes

'We have heard from customers that we have disappointed them. We have taken this feedback to heart’

The company announced their changes in a Thursday statement.
"We work hard to live up to our Mission and Values every day and represent the values of the communities and customers we serve," the company's statement read. "We have heard from customers that we have disappointed them. We have taken this feedback to heart."

Per their statement, the company will stop providing data to The Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ lobbying group, and will "refocus team member engagement groups on mentoring, networking and supporting the business."

Tractor Supply Company will also refocus on rural American priorities including agriculture education, animal welfare, and veteran causes. The company will also end their sponsorship of Pride festivals and voting campaigns. The company notably will "eliminate DEI roles" and "retire" current DEI goals while ensuring a respectful environment.

Tractor Supply then announced a withdrawal from their carbon emission goals and vowed to refocus their environmental protection initiatives to land and water conservation.

In an even more monumental disaster, Sony’s Concord, a multiplayer game meant to take the mantle of online gaming king and usher in an era of Sony dominance, experienced an unprecedented, catastrophic cancellation mere days after release. Its failure eclipsed even that of Disney’s Acolyte—whose budget was $120 million. Concord’s development cost Sony a whopping $400 million dollars, an era-defining investment for a game that seemed to have all the trappings of success, and all the parent powerhouse’s muscle behind it. In the era of vibeshifts, its failure is one to dwarf them all. ...

Why did Concord fail? No need for lengthy exegeses—simply behold the character designs, which tell most of the story:




... This is being witnessed throughout the industry on a wide scale. Titans are falling, stalwarts are being driven back into their dens for the first time. Gaming giant Ubisoft has been crashing due to two misplayed DEI hands in the form of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, a culture-torching romp set in feudal Japan and starring black Samurai Yasuke, and Star Wars Outlaws starring lantern-jawed androgyne in an undeveloped amateur bugfest.

For those wondering what happened to Ubisoft, once a respected giant in the field—it fell victim to the snares of the global DEI octopus:

The latest mega-controversy surrounds upcoming BioWare game Dragon Age: The Veilguard. BioWare was another celebrated developer responsible for such beloved classics as Baldur’s Gate, the Mass Effect series, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and many others. But their latest Dragon Age sequel is overflowing with a repulsive scale of unasked-for pandering and activist virtue signaling:
