It would be up to the people who live there to figure out how to run things. This is certainly not an argument for US to continue occupying them.
how is it an “occupation” when Hawaiians themselves voted to become a state by a 94+% majority?
from your own link
If you think a referendum from 1959 fairly represents the interests of the native population then what else is there to say.
Person is in bad faith and worse, smug. Hhit em with a PPB.
that it does, and you have failed to prove otherwise despite quoting a block f text you clearly don’t understand— OR are intentionally misrepresenting, hoping everyone else here is too stupid to realize you’re trying to pull a fast one on them.
Fortunately, I’m not the idiot you think I am.
only because you’ve moved the goalposts when you couldn’t win that argument with facts.
the people always ave that choice. they can protest, revolt, etc. Did the Bolsheviks just ask the Tsars to pretty please step aside?
I’m not the one ignoring facts, employing logical fallacies and hurling personal insults when I don’t “win” online arguments.
can’t argue with facts, so playskool insults it is. classy. no wonder I see he molding full of you getting posts and comments removed, and you’re totally banned form lemmy.world.

I didn't move any goal posts. I said Hawaii is an occupied territory, and you came back with BuT ThEy HaD a RefErEnduM. Forgetting to mention that the referendum wasn't actually about independence and that the people of Hawaii were never given a choice of independence by their occupiers.
There is no false dichotomy here. It's hilarious seeing your comment history where you communicate through memes like a 5 year old child.
People in Hawaii are revolting against your regime as we speak.
The facts are that you made false claim and now you don't even have the decency to admit it. No point having further discussion with a liar.
love living rent free in your collective heads
“nuh-uh!” isn’t a very convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.
see my previous reply
a handful of protesters is hardly a “revolt”, but you’re adorable for thinking “big”.
the last thing you have is a grasp on the facts. your comment an post history are proof enough of that, with a long history of bans, deleted comments, and verbally being drummed you of most places you visit or being a toxic mess.
how sad for you
Do feel free to articulate which goal posts you're claiming that I moved. Be specific.
I did, it's nonsensical.
Way to dismiss majority of the native population. I guess that's what you'd expect from racist occupiers.
Wow interesting narrative you made up about me there. Maybe send me of whatever drugs you're having while hallucinating these things, cause that sounds like some good shit.
Nah, it's free entertainment for me kddio.
I already have, in detail. sealioning as you last line of attack? boring…
I’m not responsible for your lack of comprehension.
anyone is free to look at your comment history or the modlogs. no drugs necessary. how like you to hurl insult - yet again - when confronted with facts you can’t refute.
not very convincing….
You have not done any such thing, but I guess lying is all you've been doing here, so that's par for the course.
“nuh-uh!” isn’t a very convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.
“I know you are but what am I?” isn’t a very convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.
Whatever you say colonizer.
ooo, more name-calling. still “entertained”? lmao
You're literally defending why it's justified for US to occupy Hawaii in this thread colonizer. I'm very much entertained by you publicly debasing yourself here. Hope you made enough FICO score points to buy yourself food tonight.
I merely presented facts you didn’t like, so you’re lying about what I said (even though anyone can scroll up and see you’re lying and what I actually said) just because you have no argument other than to hurl insults.
then you’re experiencing hallucinations, as the facts don’t correspond to your experience.
whatever that means…. I buy food with money I earn from work.
If by presented facts you mean lied then sure.
What you presented was a referendum that wasn't done exclusively amongst the indigenous population whose land your regime occupied, and that wasn't about independence at all.
That's the only actual straw man in this thread.
And now you just keep spamming here instead of admitting that you are a liar, but anybody can read this thread and see that you are full of shit.
at a troll farm
🤡
since, after multiple accusations, you STILL can’t show evidence of this without either putting words in my mouth or outright lying (which I point out every time, as the comments above prove), it’s a bit f a joke now when you say this.
moving the goalposts doesn’t change the facts, which I have laid out and explained detail above already. repeating the same logical fallacies over and over won’t make them magically come true.
if you don’t like it when I call out your repeated BS every time you reply with false accusations, childish insults, logical fallacies, and outright lies, then you cans top any time. facing the consequences of your actions is not a a state of victimhood.
oh, I thought you loved Russians and the fine work they do!
lmao
lmao I love how you think that if you just keep repeating bullshit enough times it'll be true, what an utter clown you are
it’s interesting how simply hearing the facts repeated angers you so much, right to the point of tantrums and hurling insults. Hardly a position from which to argue that your is the reasonable point, or the factual one, especially since you have no facts.
Amazing that @whiskeypickle@lemmy.ml, who is also a fan of those weird debate fallacy images, posted this in another thread today:
Also this, also from today:
You also posted that second one, verbatim, this afternoon as @adroidBalloon@lemmy.ml.
You're the same person, aren't you?
Edit: Lol you even responded to an argument in this thread while still logged in to @whiskeypickle@lemmy.ml, then deleted it because someone noticed.
The choice was to become a state or remain a territory. Either yes or no would have had Hawaiian peoples occupied. Statehood could be seen as a regaining a scrap of self determination but all it ended up doing was impoverishing the natives and ceding all wealth to colonizing capitalists. This is a primarily function of bourgeois democracy.
by voting to become a state - especially to such an overwhelming majority - you can hardly argue a dispositive attitude towards the US being there or towards joining the union. so, not only have you moved the goalposts, you’re arguing a straw man and your own emotions.
I’m sticking with provable facts.
Once again they were given a choice between becoming a state or remaining a territory. Not for independence. It'd be like offering a scrap of bread to a starving man in exchange for the man legitimizing your ability to keep him malnourished.
The ole adage of "the only thing worse than being exploited is not being exploited " comes to mind.
Since you can't be assed to read your own damn wiki article I assume you're just in bad faith.
Should I kill you with my sword or with my gun?
Sorry, "I want to live" was not an option on the ballot
sigh…
Referendum is literally: "Would you like to be a state or a territory? Independence is not an option."
Sigh...
True, just clarifying the best case scenario. Did the Hawaiian people recently vote to leave the union that I am unaware of?
