Because you are saying it was 100 years ago, so your crimes no longer matter.

YOU are saying that, not me. keep your words out of my mouth.

The holocaust...

As for your garbage referendum

“I don’t like it, so I’m going to call it names!”

grow up

I confused you with the other fascist above, whose post I was replying to.

Hawaii was annexed in 1898. So, why dredge up anger at the conquest over 100 years later?

You're just here sealioning on an attempt to justify ethnic cleansing. The Holocaust comparison is NOT a false equivalence by the way. Hitler was inspired by the US.

Really tempted to give this individual the PPBs...

They're running multiple accounts pushing the same reactionary garbage, with the same little debate fallacy pictures, and even the same obnoxious "most people learn this when they're 5" bit.

Ah, mods need to do some clearing out then

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

One would hope.

I already blocked him. I'm native and I'm somewhat used to hearing this nonsense. But it still doesn't do good things for me, and he has nothing useful to say anyway. It's all debate perversion with a hard on for colonialism. Anyone with half a brain should be able to see that it's just a lame attempt to justify the subjugation of Hawaii.

Any situation that began with land being stolen from native people via coup and gun-point means anything thereafter is a colonial and imperialist action that creates easily understandable echos of inequality and suffering. For instance lots of Native populations being unable to afford their land, or having to exist as permanent renters, and then also having to suffer ecological consequences such as guinea grass (imported by colonial cattle ranchers into Hawaii that now dries out and burns easily yet has not been removed) causing wild fires that burn entire communities (not to forget the blackrock owned electric company having shitty ill maintained equipment around such communities).

This article doesn’t even mention Hawaii, colonialism, or anything related to it. It speaks of Hitler’s inspiration drawn from slavery and ideas of race superiority towards black people. Not only did you obviously just google “Hitler US inspiration” to cherry-pick something about Hitler, you clearly neither read it or have any understanding of the material.

so, yeah, it’s a false equivalence AND now you're
