calling the cops on someone else in america for drug use is the most comically evil action i can think of that you can still admit to in public and (unfortunately) not be shunned/exiled/physically attacked for. you’re very explicitly saying that your sheltered discomfort with seeing someone do drugs is worth ruining that person’s entire life over (even though you could get the same effect by just continuing to walk past the drug user until you never see them again). 18th century dauphin mindset. “papá! papá! i espied that peasant over yonder partaking of a snuffbox! throw him in the dungeon, lest my delicate morals be corrupted any further!” kill yourself perhaps
so yeah that fire in Lahaina, Maui? That was what indigenous activists were trying to prevent. That is why Land Back movements wants indigenous people to be the stewards of the land that was once theirs. Not kick out white people and settlers. But to prevent shit like that where a bunch of tourists/settlers won’t destroy the planet in their ruthless pursuit of productivity and profit. So yeah, think on that.
People are asking how was this white people fault?
Power lines, in Hawaii they are owned by Blackrock and Vanguard, keep catching on fire because they forget to turn off their shitty electricity. So when they eventually topple over, white people forgot to cut the Guinea grass planted by colonizers 200 years to feed cows which changed Lahaina from a a swampland to the fucking tinderbox that it is today.
But hey, grass is grass and no need to mow an invasive species, right colonizers? Oh shit, that global warming that these fucking oil companies spent decades telling us wasn’t real is real and that dried up the land in Maui?
Now motherfuckers are trying to buy land off of the indigenous people in Maui because colonizers just love having part time homes, right?
But yay let’s celebrate the fucking billionaires who own homes in Lahaina because they are donating. Nope, no fucking correlation there right?
Indigenous Hawaiians have been saying how tourism is killing their islands for over a decade yet you fucking assholes keep mentioning how Tourism is the point of Hawaii as if that culture wasn’t just about living instead of living for profit.
They don’t want you there but you fuckheads insist of making it your timeshare goal. So yeah. It’s absolutely settler’s fault that this shit happening.
a redemption poll from that last dog name one i did:
what is your pet named after?
space / nature / another animal /etc
character / show / song / album / etc (media/entertainment)
celebrity / public / historical figure / etc
family member / ancestral name / etc
food / object / brand / miscellaneous
they already had their current name
just a classic pet name (buddy, fluffy, charlie, sadie, etc.)
i have multiple pets (several of these)
other (share in tags)
