  • you’re this desperate? wow

    you’ll do anything but make a rational argument based on facts.

    • I dunno what to tell you dawg if you can't understand that a referendum of Hawaiian residents from 1959 doesn't represent the opinions of Native Hawaiians after 60 years of American control and immigration to the island. If you're so into facts and stats you should know a representative measure of their opinion could only be done through a survey of Native Hawaiians

      • doesn’t represent the opinions of Native Hawaiians

        1. that was never my argument
        2. this is a straw man argument because you couldn’t argue agains the facts I initially stated and moved the goalposts from Hawaiian residents to Hawaiian natives
        3. as such, it’s irrelevant

        even if it were relevant then it isn’t now just because you’re angry about… whatever.

        If you’re so into facts and stats you should know a representative measure of their opinion could only be done through a survey of Native Hawaiians

        well, why don’t you do that and come back when YOU have some relevant facts to present, and we can talk again.

        • Okay we're in a thread talking about how Native Hawaiians feel about the American government. I actually want to know why you are arguing this point and what you feel it accomplishes, in genuine good faith. Like are you Native Hawaiian, do you like in Hawaii, do you just like the idea of being able to visit Hawaii without a passport, or is there some other reason?

          For me, I'm arguing this because I believe Indigenous people around the world have a right to self governance and freedom from colonial occupiers. So what's your reason?

            due to your amnesia, I’ll remind you that this is how it started:

            once the facts were presented, goalposts were moved to “native” Hawaiians because the argument couldn’t be “won" without that straw man, and I’ve been posting that out since.

            I actually want to know why you are arguing this point and what you feel it accomplishes, in genuine good faith.

            I doubt that, as I’ve made this clear many, many times, and you keep ignoring it.

            Like are you Native Hawaiian, do you like in Hawaii, do you just like the idea of being able to visit Hawaii without a passport, or is there some other reason?

            not only is my personal information irrelevant, I’d be pretty stupid to give someone like you any personal details that you’d very obviously weaponize against me at your first opportunity. as I’ve said before, I’m not as stupid as you think I am.

            For me, I’m arguing this because I believe Indigenous people around the world have a right to self governance and freedom from colonial occupiers. So what’s your reason?

            no, you’re here to “win” because you hate the US and think I’m your enemy. i've seen your comment history. I sonly presented facts and you and your cohorts don’t like the facts as they clash with your ideology, so you attack me rater than argue the facts rationally. It’s hostile, toxic bullying, and the mere suggestion that you’re interested in god-faith discussion outside of your own echo chamber is a joke.

            • Alright I tried doing this on your terms, peace

              • Alright I tried doing this on your terms, peace

                if that were true, you would have argued honestly, with the facts, and in good faith. I have demonstrated, many, many time, how you have not. again, you lie to comfort yourself against facts you refuse to accept.

                best of luck with that.
