The last Christmas Pagan Tree of the season?
I just posted The first warm day of the year means overflowing doof garbage, of course, which showed how Americans celebrate spring: polluting and depleting, funding the production of garbage, and driving themselves to obesity.
We also celebrate winter by killing trees. I hope the picture below is the last Christmas Pagan tree of the season.
It goes to show you how many trees we kill in our pagan rituals that we now practice, merged with Christian ones. Then it was wrapped in plastic, gratuitously, as if pine trees were toxic or dangerous, but the car behind it or garbage below it are safe.
It’s sickening, literally and figuratively. It’s also American in 2026.
