Whitney Cummings claims that performative gratitude during Thanksgiving is hypocritical given that society is generally ungrateful and consumed by material complaints.

“Also, I think Thanksgiving is bumping me this year because I don't buy that anyone's grateful. I I think I think that's this is a thing of the past. We are the most ungrateful bratty species on Earth and and the fact that we have a holiday where we pretend to be grateful is so funny.”
