The discussion is about US OCCUPYING Hawaii. Imagine thinking that a referendum of the occupiers on whether they want to keep occupying is a valid way to decide whether people who have bee OCCUPIED agree with the occupation. It’s like if I moved into your house and put a gun to your head, and then ran a referendum to see if I should stay there.

The fact that you don’t understand how idiotic your argument is shows what an utter imbecile you are.

“nuh-uh!” isn’t a very convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.

Do feel free to articulate which goal posts you’re claiming that I moved. Be specific.

see my previous reply

I did, it’s nonsensical.

a handful of protesters is hardly a “revolt”, but you’re adorable for thinking “big”.

Way to dismiss majority of the native population. I guess that’s what you’d expect from racist occupiers.

the last thing you have is a grasp on the facts. your comment an post history are proof enough of that, with a long history of bans, deleted comments, and verbally being drummed you of most places you visit or being a toxic mess.

Wow interesting narrative you made up about me there. Maybe send me of whatever drugs you’re having while hallucinating these things, cause that sounds like some good shit.

how sad for you

Nah, it’s free entertainment for me kddio.

yogthos OP , 1 year ago to worldnews in How native Hawaiians feel about the occupation regime

only because you’ve moved the goalposts when you couldn’t win that argument with facts.

I didn’t move any goal posts. I said Hawaii is an occupied territory, and you came back with BuT ThEy HaD a RefErEnduM. Forgetting to mention that the referendum wasn’t actually about independence and that the people of Hawaii were never given a choice of independence by their occupiers.

There is no false dichotomy here. It’s hilarious seeing your comment history where you communicate through memes like a 5 year old child.

the people always ave that choice. they can protest, revolt, etc. Did the Bolsheviks just ask the Tsars to pretty please step aside?

People in Hawaii are revolting against your regime as we speak.

The facts are that you made false claim and now you don’t even have the decency to admit it. No point having further discussion with a liar.

I think the whole discussion of the architecture was pretty interesting and gives some insight into what can be done by ActivityPub platforms to facilitate scaling going forward. There’s been a lot of discussion previously whether ActivityPub creates some inherent limitations on scaling, and looks like they’ve demonstrated that it can scale pretty far.

from your own link

In 1897, over 21,000 Natives, representing the overwhelming majority of adult Hawaiians, signed anti-annexation petitions in one of the first examples of protest against the overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalaniʻs government.[143] Nearly 100 years later, in 1993, 17,000 Hawaiians marched to demand access and control over Hawaiian trust lands and as part of the modern Hawaiian sovereignty movement.[144] Hawaiian trust land ownership and use is still widely contested as a consequence of annexation. According to scholar Winona LaDuke, as of 2015, 95% of Hawaiʻiʻs land was owned or controlled by just 82 landholders, including over 50% by federal and state governments, as well as the established sugar and pineapple companies.[144] The Thirty Meter Telescope is planned to be built on Hawaiian trust land, but has faced resistance as the project interferes with Kanaka indigeneity.[clarify][145]

If you think a referendum from 1959 fairly represents the interests of the native population then what else is there to say.

It would be up to the people who live there to figure out how to run things. This is certainly not an argument for US to continue occupying them.

I’m not pretending anything, there was a preliminary document signed and even western media admits that Bojo ran to Ukraine to stop the deal.

I’m actually pretty open about my political activism. I’m not disguising anything. Having grown up in USSR, and moved around the world a lot, I do think I have a much broader exposure than majority of people. The fact that you presume to know so much about me exposes the sad reality about you projecting what you know of yourself to be true onto others I’m afraid. I also love how you accuse me of doing what you yourself regularly do here, unless you’ll have us believe that you have some deep expertise on the political situation in Africa. Seems to me that you’re trying to speak from position of authority in comments such as this one, while clearly demonstrating utter lack of knowledge on the subject. I don’t know why you felt the need to be “brigading” that far away continent.

Meanwhile, nowhere have I claimed that China is some monolithic strong fortress or that there aren’t legitimate problems in China. My only claims has been that despite the problems China has, it shows a better alternative to what the west is doing. While you seem to be fixating on problems such as unlimited freedom of expression, that affects a tiny majority of the people, I’m looking at the problem of meeting the material needs of the people. China has done a far better job in ensuring that people have things like food, housing, education, and healthcare than the supposedly enlightened western liberal societies.

To sum up, you pretend to have some sort of high ground and sling feces at me, but the only difference is that you support western empire and all its horrors whether you realize it or not.

Libs crying that they can’t just pile on people who disagree with them will never stop being funny. These trolls can’t actually make any coherent arguments to support their positions and simply regurgitate a handful of tropes they memorized. All of a sudden this tactic doesn’t work anymore and y’all having a meltdown.

And here’s a bingo card for you lot

The alternate reality you live in sounds fascinating.

Fucked is what Ukraine is right now thanks to US pushing Ukraine into a war it can’t win instead of letting them negotiate.
