this comment was quite interesting even though it used the word yankees in a negative way.

Not only have you spoiled Native American peoples, but you also did it in vain, looking at the resulting state of your science! American Indians, rise against the decadent Anglo-Saxon science! You're their only remaining hope, actually Just smoke the right pipe and show them the right way.
You see, Yankees, your problem and their advantage is not really violence or its absence, but your absence of roots in this foreign land. You are classical "dracins", you've lost your European origins but haven't really found any new ones (contrary to "integrated" emigrants to old-world countries). All those "American traditions", Thanksgiving and the rest, are terribly superficial with respect to true, ancient roots of "genuine" nations. It did give you quick and strong advantages, your "industrial success", but they could only be temporal as it becomes clear today, without any deeper foundation to rely upon in such uncertain epoch of unpaid debts. Maybe it can provide a deeper explanation for those various "nostalgic regrets" with respect to native Indians, your occasional "indianophilia": now you'd wish to have those deeper links to Nature and spirits of ancestors they always had and may still preserve And it need not be "irrational", can be quite practical actually.
Return back to the real world, from your virtual money fraud and abstract science trickery destroying our world, the good old world that belongs to all. Or else there will be violence: mother Nature will destroy you.
With this holiday wish, have a happy celebration, of course.
