    Like every year for the past decade or so, my spouse is telling her family that I’m eating with my family. And I’m telling my family that we’re eating with her family. And I just stay home and avoid all the pomp and the whatsis.

    Personal anecdote, but everyone I know is staying put. I’ll be interested to know what people actually do.

        Americans won’t stop doing things for their comfort and enjoyment to disrupt the system that oppresses us.

          And in this context, you mean Americans need to not visit their families for the holidays? Because by boycotting the holidays with their families it disrupts the system of oppression?

            Not spending money on travel, food and gifts is the disruption.
