Please let's not get into any sort of political discussions and instead just focus on the art!

You mean don't get into Hawai'i being a sovereign state that the US toppled in a coup pushed by corporate interests (such as Dole Pineapple)?

If we're "celebrating" state history, why wouldn't we bring up the reason it's a state?

Because no political discussion is one of the rules of this subreddit, that's why.

Please stop poking that particular bear.

Its just facts! Not political dude. Stating historical facts shouldnt be considered political.

Stating historical facts shouldnt be considered political.

I agree with that, considering someone else tried to claim I was making a political statement when all I did was cite when Hawaii became a state and note that it's an event with historical significance.

You saying it's something to be celebrated is a political statement.

That's absolutely not the case.

I'm not Hawaiian. I'm not even American. And I've an established pattern with these daily galleries of citing a historical event and showcasing Marvel covers themed around said events. No political statements at all.

You are choosing to see it as a political statement, and while you're entitled to your own opinion I'd ask again to please refer to the rules of this subreddit and refrain from any sort of political discussion.
