I’m not sure how common “tree lighting ceremonies” actually are, here (though they definitely do happen. I just haven’t lived in a big city where it’s quite so prominent for a while!), but I guarantee you, that where they DO occur, they’ll be preceded by either an “Acknowledgement of Country” (white guilt ceremony, done by whitey), or, more likely and more “wokely”, a “Welcome to Country”, which is where an Abo verbally shits on you for five minutes, calls you evil whitey and tells you how they own the land (and by extension everything on it), and “have managed it sustainably since literally the dawn of time”…
This doesn’t just go for tree lightings, though. It goes for every public event.
You know how you guys sing the anthem at every sporting event, and/or raise a flag..? This occurs AT LEAST as frequently as that, if not more so…
Some MEETINGS of suitably woke organizations, and even art shows, do it, too… It’s an enormous fucking grift, and it disgusts me…
