I guess I don’t get your point. If you don’t find the thread valuable, interesting, or you don’t think it has a point, what are you doing? What’s your purpose?
I think enough people are participating, albeit in a pretty imperfect way, that if you don’t like the very existence of the thread, you could probably just ignore it. If you think there is potential value, feel free to post in a way that leads it here and hope it catches on!

(Responding to your middle paragraph, can’t bold on my phone for some reason)
The name of the thread is “anti racism anti opprsssion” yet Most talk is just stories of said things. I think there is a lot of value to be had here. Just wanting more talk on the anti portion of these things. As someone who doesn’t think shaming someone who says something racist till they lose their job as an appropriate way forward and having that racist person not learn anything I just was hoping to see more talk of ways forward when this thread popped up.
Obviously education and such is something to be done but that’s been said for a long time so where do we go from here? I don’t think the aggressive attack of people gets anything done. Maybe I don’t know what to do haha.
