anyway animal rights activism will be inherently disingenuous and indeed actively harmful unless y’all recognize that 1) not every country has industrialized the consumption of meat to the extent that the west has 2) you absolutely need to prioritize human beings over animals given that basic humanity isn’t even afforded to a large fucking portion of the human population 3) your experiences are not universal and humans have been living off the land sustainably for literal millenia 4) capitalism is your enemy not poor people & people of color 5) stop fucking making slavery/holocaust anaologies. those are actual human beings. thanks

If you guys didn’t see some white girl posted a montage of her colonizer experience in Hawai'i and has been getting dragged for days now lmao I’m not gonna link it cause it’s just her and some other haole girls she met her literally dancing on graves and sacred places and showing off her dirty hair.

But I did a little thread on why these romanticized ads of our home harms us (not super in depth but touches on some important points). And I was a lot nicer about it cause I actually do care if you come to visit and I’d actually prefer that everyone leave us alone forever but colonizers gonna colonize and settlers gonna settle 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Images: a tweet from user @WatkinsLondon that says: “This year I packed up my life into a tiny suitcase and moved to a little rock in the middle of the ocean. I fell in love with Hawaii, I fell in love with these people. But above all, I fell in love with being alive”.

This tweet is followed by a tweet thread from user @angelcurlsss that says:

“That stupid video of that haole girl who moved here for 4 months is just showing how fucking ignorant the general population is about Hawai'i and what has happened/is happening to Native Hawaiians.

1. HAWAI'I IS AN ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED SOVEREIGN NATION.

2. Native Hawaiians (Kānaka Maoli) used to make up 100% of the population. It’s estimated we make up about 20% of the state’s population now.

3. Hawai'i was once the most literate nation in the WORLD, about 91-95% of the kingdom by 1834.

4. ‘Olelo Hawai'i (native Hawaiian language) was illegal to teach in schools until 1978, but didn’t get taught again in schools until 1987. People don’t understand how recently they had their colonial policies forced on us. 1978… my mom was born in 1973. She could’ve been beat just for speaking her native tongue on her native land.

5. Despite making up less than a quarter of the state’s population, native Hawaiians make up about 60% of the prison population (mostly nonviolent crimes).

6. Native Hawaiians also make up most of the homeless population. Hawai'i has the largest population of homeless people per capita in the U.S.

7. As of 2018, the average price for a single family home in Hawai'i is $795K. There are no regulations for foreigners owning land.

Including (but not limited to) these facts and statistics, native Hawaiians are one of the most disenfranchised communities in Hawai'i. Our own ‘āina. When people treat our home as a playground for their own selfish needs, they change everything here except the price of living. Native Hawaiians and locals are leaving Hawai'i by the dozens. They recently estimated it to be 11 locals leaving PER DAY.

I don’t care if you want to come visit. Our home is beautiful and I don’t blame people for wanting to see it. But I do care when you poison our land, romanticize our lifestyle, fetishize our people, and cheapen our culture. Unless you’re coming to pour money into our communities and work for our betterment and sovereignty (I know you’re not) you bring nothing of value to Hawaiians. Please come and enjoy, but don’t forget when it’s time to leave.”

Mary, Joseph, and Jesus were literally refugees themselves.

And I AM a Christian you fool.

Mod Bethany

Ah, yes that makes perfect sense. The Bible doesn’t mention those old foreigners anywhere.

Not in Exodus.

“Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt.”

Not in Deuteronomy.

“And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt.”

Not in Hebrews.

“Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.”

Not in Leviticus.

“‘When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you. I am the Lord your God.’”

“You are to have the same law for the foreigner and the native-born. I am the Lord your God.’” 

“‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them.

The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt.”

Not in Psalms.

“The Lord watches over the foreigner
   and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
   but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.”

Not in Zechariah.

“This is what the Lord Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another.

Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. Do not plot evil against each other.’”

Man, and Jesus, himself, definitely didn’t mention it whatsoever in Luke 10:29-37. How dare OP suggest something so preposterous? I don’t consider myself a Christian, but I do believe in God. I believe They dictated that we’re to love one another–especially the persecuted. But please, continue to use that BS cartoon I see everywhere “Christians” want to use the Bible to discredit things they don’t personally believe in, all the while not bothering to read the book at all. American “Christianity” isn’t a worship of God. It’s worshiping America. I believe the Bible would call that…hmm…an idol? And the Ten Commandments say the worshiping of idols is a big no-no.

Some person: “Can’t you at least exercise compassion by following the explicit instructions found in your own sacred tests?”

Some Christian: “You are just trying to trick me into not hating brown people!”

woman: *talks about equality in any way*

men every time: so i can hit you, right? i can beat the absolute shit out of you? it’s equality :)

Men =/= Women

Women can have equal social standing when they make an equal contribution and half of our infantry are women.

William. You are so brave for talking shit when you look like this. How many layers of inbred are you? Is your family tree more like a family donut? I can see that you tried with that hairstyle, but you shouldn’t have. You see, Billy Bob, you can’t just take the shavings from your head and sprinkle them on your top lip and call that a mustache. That hairline is trying to run away from your bad opinions. Your eyebrows aren’t even on speaking terms. Every level of your development as a human has been another mistake. And here you sit, on your porn blog, explaining to human women why we can’t be equal until we’re half of the infantry… are you? I find that really hard to believe. Is that what you think makes a person worthwhile? Being a meat shield? Cleetus, if that’s all you aspire to, I’m so sorry. Look at those shoulders. You wouldn’t even be a good meat shield, because someone could shoot at you point blank and still miss

What contribution have you made to society? The largest cumsock collection in all of Alabama? Most Cousins Fucked 2k15? How many confederate flags do you own, exactly?

Billy bob. No one wants to be equal to you. We can do so much better than that.

Every line had me screaming

the way americans are obsessed with the fuckin military is terrifying. I work as a cashier so I occasionally have to ask for donations for whatever the cause of the moment is. people will donate all the fuckin time to the troops but not only will they ignore homeless children, but they joke about it. they’re over here like “haha I have my own hungry children to feed” or “they should be donating to me I’m hungry” or other just straight up stupid unnecessary shit and it’s cruel, joking about homeless fuckin children. yet the mere mention of troops and they’re throwing all their money at me. these people are glorified murderers and americans eat that shit up and worship the ground they walk on. the brainwashing is un-fuckin-real
