At worst people were rude and apathetic to the content in the OP, but it's not like anyone was denying historical fact. But by page 9, it's devolved into anyone celebrating Thanksgiving must be a mask off white oppressive racist (slight exaggeration, but not far off).
Sure, go ahead and call people out for being dismissive or trying to tone police, but the immediate escalation from people that everyone must be fragile white racists that don't want to know the truth about America took this thread from 0 to 60 for no reason, and completely derailed any chance of people engaging with the actual topic.
Bjomesphat's making too much sense, so expect a petty "dismissing concerns" ban from Nep shortly.
