Online goobers are celebrating Indigenous People’s Day, arguably the most emasculating holiday that undermines America’s founding myth — all so they can score some cheap virtue-signaling points with fellow lefties.
I’m not opposed to people celebrating Native Americans in general. But if you’re going to do it, don’t make it about virtue signaling on Columbus Day. Celebrate their history because you are truly fascinated by it, by their culture and rituals, and have studied it all, maybe even lived it. If I had to guess, the liberals celebrating Indigenous People’s Day instead of Columbus Day know next to nothing about Native Americans, except that they should say something positive about them on Oct. 14 and that European and white people are bad for conquering North America.

“In honor of Oct 7 and upcoming Indigenous People’s Day on Oct 14, the Christopher Columbus statue in Central Park, NYC got what it deserved,” per statement.

I don’t even know if I can go into this anymore. The whole debate about Columbus Day is becoming trite. It’s a dead Culture War issue. Like the “War on Christmas,” the Columbus Day war has grown stale. Maybe because Tony Soprano settled it long ago: Columbus is a hero.
I remember in middle school, before woke was even a thing, my teachers would tell us that Columbus did some bad things and that maybe we shouldn’t celebrate him as a hero. There was likely a Fox News segment about the brewing anti-Columbus sentiment then, in the late 2000s, and there probably will be today, in 2024. “The Sopranos” was even talking about it in 2002.
That being said, it is still fun to mock liberals who virtue signal online — that will never get old.
