Under cover of "Woke 1 was crazy" there are a lot of people smuggling in white centrism while pretending to be rational leftists. I learned of Thanksgiving being harmful from mainstream liberal discourse as a teen in 2008. Hong is supposed to say, what, that Thanksgiving is actually awesome now?

My editor asked me to write about what happened to summer:

it’s good for us to be reminded that while cato publishes reports that show immigration is good, their raison d’être is to try and make people think this is a reasonable thing to believe instead of a child’s wishful hero fantasy
