Let's not bring back racist caricatures of our native Hawaiian culture.

Tiki bars are made of cultural appropriation and colonial nostalgia. Don't buy tikis, or tiki torches.

Help us Native Hawaiians keep doing more educational and resisting colonial oppression. https://ko-fi.com/silverspook

"Hawaiian Pizza" like Tiki bars are also colonial fabrications to make tons of money profiting from our stolen land and culture while simultaneously mocking and degrading us. https://octodon.social/@silverspookgames/109111514430900470

As America 'considers' canceling student debt, remember 1800's Hawaii had the world's highest literacy rate, invented submarines when Western sci-fi dreamt them, had first-class rail & hydro powered cities & we had FREE education before the US' treachery and privatization.

Hawaii was the first country in the world with high-quality mass-accessible public education, with over 70 newspapers in a country of less than 1 million. It's no wonder we electrified, provided mass transit, and invented torpedo-proof vessels, leaving the West in the dust.

It was created in Canada by a Sam Panopoulos, who used pineapples Hawaiian Canned Pineapple Co.. HCPC a brand of the now Dole Food Corporation, a company founded by James Dole, cousin of Sanford Dole - a wealthy oligarch who collaborated with the US military to steal our country.

Hawaiian pizza isn't 'Hawaiian' but a colonizer's invention to make tons of money in collaboration with Dole, who helped overthrow our sovereign country, resulting in genocide of Hawaiians, banning our culture, language, and erasing the history.

Since Disney is canceling a billion dollar Florida project, it should also cancel Disney Aulani, Lilo & Stitch, & stop stealing Hawaiian culture and land for profit with the US military occupation that poisons our water, and banned our language & history.

Diseases like small-pox were weaponized by colonizers to eliminate Native Americans. They tried this on Native Hawaiians, but we used contact-tracing, lockdowns, vaccines & universal healthcare (which we invented) to prevent biological warfare from wiping out our people.

Hawaii had the world's highest literacy rate (98%), Universal Healthcare, electric lights before the white house, mass affordable transit, industrialization, virtually no homelessness, full racial equality. Post-US coup, it all reversed. #AAPI

The US set fire to Hawaiian & Asian homes & businesses after invading, & forced us into the blaze at gunpoint. Like racist 'Wuhan Flu', Asians were blamed for plague & burned, but sick Whites were treated in posh hotels. My #AAPI parents struggled in slums built on these ashes.

More on the US ban of Hawaiian language and culture, stealing of our land, imprisoning of our leaders, forced removal of our universal healthcare, housing, food security and socialist system, then erasure of the history:

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.

The US (all parties) have never been democratic with Hawaiians in fact 95% of us signed petitions against annexation The US military responded by forcing us to be come a colony. The opposite of 'democracy'. The US then used us as a pineapple slave plantation and imperialist gas station for plunder of all of Asia / Pacific. The US has destroyed multiple islands with bombs and radioactive material, and is poisoning our drinking water with jet fuel.

The million covid deaths in the US were never inevitable, and some countries have replicated 1800's Hawaii's successes in containing disease today. Excess deaths, mass-disability is still happening despite the West burying this fact for corrupt politicians and corporate profit.

Just as over a million people were allowed to die from covid to prioritize billionaire profit, the US capitalist mindset doesn't care about human health or life. ER fees are only myopically seen as potential bottom-line boosters.

White people in the replies still in denial of their genocidal history and present, as well as pandemic science when it's inconvenient for them. Still trying to wipe us indigenous people out with biowarfare and killing/hurting themselves and lying about it. Amazing.
Nasty 1492-ass plague-spreading anti-science motherfuckers.

The Western capitalist (dis)education system is heavily to blame for the Wests' inability to actually think clearly and historically, plus it's 'uncomfortable' when you've been the planetary evil for centuries. 54% of Americans can't read above a 6th grade level TODAY, teachers quit in droves, w/ trillions in student debt which graduates can't pay. A stark contrast to Hawaii's universal free quality education. We had the world's highest literacy rate (98%) and a socialist system not based in mass-disinformation for capitalist profit.
