As an indie game dev who doesn't use and doesn't buy genAI anything, I intend to let folks know I'm not part of the plagiarism software / giant bubble / Army of Slopness. #NoAI#indiegame

In the Hawaiian story of 'The Flying Kalo', the one ali'i (leader) on Moku o Keawe who began to hoard wealth was chastised by kalo itself, & all other ahupuaa (districts) came together to pressure him to resume collective redistribution. Also known as ho'oponopono (make right)
Pre-colonization, we Hawaiians worked 3-4 hours per day, and all resources (food, medicine, housing) were distributed according to need through the ahupua'a system. Zero hoarding (capitalism) was allowed by ali'i (leaders), and mass worker exodus as retaliation prevented it. The millions going hungry in the US as billionaires hoard wealth is antithetical to our ways. #SNAP#Shutdown
Emma Kaleleonālani, fought for the world's first universal healthcare system in 1859, in Hawaii. No Western country would attempt socialized medicine for a century. The US decimated our free healthcare for selfish profit. Today US workers are wealth-stripped by private healthcare
As a Native Hawaiian, it's beautiful to see our Austronesian indigenous cousins in Madagascar getting free from French colonialism. Gives hope against the US empire here in Hawaii.
Two uprisings against colonizers in Africa on the same day! Solidarity with Madagascar and Ivory Coast! The African Revolution is happening, even if not televised in the West.
The US is being prosecuted for war crimes against us Native Hawaiians, in part because of the US treachery against our Universal healthcare through Queens Medical Center. Today we are among the most unhealthy populations, due to US occupation and colonization.
#Blackstone owns 300k homes. Very Neofeud 'Let Them Eat Cake' moment from pre-guillotine Star Spangled Versailles. The aristocracy didn't even bother to take the 'lord' out of 'landlord' when they put the 'capitalist democracy' mask on. (second pic is Neofeud in-game screenshots)
Hawaii's coup - backed by US gunboat diplomacy - to smash a country's building of an actual anti-racist, socialist, thriving country was the blueprint that would later be used by the US on countless countries across the world from Asia to Africa to Latin America. To erase alternatives to capitalism.
A thread on my game Neofeud about my life as an impoverished Hawaiian, social worker and STEM teacher for other poor/homeless, living in slums beneath billionaire mansions. My experiences refracted through the lens of satirical cyberpunk. https://wandering.shop/@silverspookgames/113092063894254681
Help us Native Hawaiians not become homeless again, keep doing more game making, education and resisting colonial oppression. ko-fi.com/silverspook patreon.com/c/neofeud
