   As catastrophic train wrecks destroy ecology & health in #EastPalestine Ohio due to capitalist greed, remember Hawaii had world-class public owned rail, electric, and universal healthcare. If the US had learned from our socialist system, disasters like these would've been averted

     Happy Day of Captain Colonizer Cook getting DECOLONATED by Hawaiians for overstaying his welcome! #ValentinesDay

     That journalists are being *arrested* for reporting on the Ohio Chernobyl event, the largest environmental disaster in the US in years, should be the final bit of mask falling away from the US' face -- there's never been 'freedom' of any kind, and certainly not real freedom of the press, certainly not now.

     Toni :mastodon: repeated this.

     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.

     To push the country back into poverty, dis-educate its people, 'obliterate the history', de-develop its infrastructure, and plunder resources and cheap labor.
     (Homeless tent city is where I worked as social worker/STEM teacher for impoverished Hawaiians / AAPI at-risk youth)

     An example of actual equality, democracy, existing socialism without racial hatred, greater technological advancement in a POC nation - it put the US, the West, and Europe to shame, blew their 'White Man's Burden' out of the water -- which was why they illegally crushed Hawaii.

     Hawaii's coup - backed by US gunboat diplomacy - to smash a Non-White country's building of an actual anti-racist, socialist, thriving country was the blueprint that would later be used on countless Asian, Pacific Islander, Latin American, African, countries across the world.

     Kalakaua, one of our leaders, had invented a sub-aquatic vehicle when Jules Verne was still dreaming up 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. Hawai'i was a living Wakanda - an indigenous future: more technologically, economically, and socio-politically advanced than any Western Nation.

     The sovereign country of Hawaii had Black citizens before the US Civil War. In fact, US slaves that stepped onto Hawaiian soil were considered free. Chinese were full citizens in Hawaii as US chained them up to build railroads & West Coast, w/terrible racism, lynching of Asians.

     Hawaii also had a higher literacy rate than the US, and Europe before colonization, the banning of our culture and language, erasure of our history, and ghettoization. Hawai'ians were also often bi- or trilingual, and world-renowned diplomats.
