Economists in Hawaii warn that residents who survived the wildfire that destroyed much of the Maui community of Lahaina might not be able to afford to live there after it is rebuilt unless officials alter the zoning laws and make other changes.
I really wouldn't have guessed that Tankies would have "Hawaii" in their list of trigger-words like this. Half the comments in this thread are "but imperialism!" when the subject is actually housing prices and has nothing to do with it. If Hawaii was a sovereign state they'd probably be having similar problems with displaced renters from a situation like this.
Yeah, they’re so concerned about us here. I’d like to see donation receipts. Probably hasn’t occurred to them how many elderly kapuna rely on US social security benefits to pay rent after paying into the system for decades, etc. The whole “US needs to leave Hawaii” thing is pretty poorly thought out.
Not like it matters since you're a tankie and all you want to do is sow discord by shitting on the "libs" and the west," but the rebuilding of Lahaina threatens to permanently displace everyone who lives there, and not just the 10% of the residents who happen to be indigenous. Do you know anything about the place you're using to push pro-Russian (and, ironically, its denial of genocide when committed by communist countries) propaganda? Lahaina is full of poor people, you ignorant fuck. The entire town of the 13,000 is not only poor, but JFC, they are now homeless and mostly jobless because the fire destroyed everything. That town is totally fucked, man, and you're using its suffering to rile up and disenfranchise more people for your pro-Russia bullshit? Fuck off.
Like I said, you don't give a fuck about the people who live there, and you certainly don't give a fuck about actual genocide - especially genocide that is happening right now. So get fucked and go post your fascist recruitment garbage elsewhere. And tell your Hexblyat buddies they can go eat shit too.
This is just too rich. The brain worms really got you.
Yeah the displacement of the poor on Hawaii is a function of capitalism. The only form of capitalism in the West is racialized capitalism. Racialized capitalism is built on illegal occupation, slave labor, genocide, and ecocide.
Stating facts about the history of Hawaii and the illegal occupation of it by the USA is not in any way pro-Russian. I have no idea what your ranting about with that.
Do I give a fuck about the white settlers living in occupied Hawaii? Not really. They are reaping what was sown.
Maybe it's crazy and unexpected to you because you're ignorant. Maybe you're ignorant because the Western education system produces useful idiots in droves.
