I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land.

About This Quote

Christopher Columbus, often called the “Father of Lies” for his “discoveries” were, in fact, heinous villains. The idea that Columbus was the “Father of Lies” is a perfect metaphor for his deeds. He was a lying, murdering pirate who had no respect for the land he was “discovered.” His entire life was about advancing his own goals and personal wealth at the expense of Native Americans and anyone else who got in the way. to the point that when he left Spain after murdering those who stood in his way to power, he made sure to leave behind a copy of all the ships he had used and included directions on how to find them. This man was a complete monster and should not be remembered as anything but a disgraceful man and an early example of what can come from greed and ambition.
