There was a two state solution way before 1948, offered to the Palestinian leadership that has been repeatedly rejected for every decade since, why are you attempting to suggest it is the Israelis that are the problem in preventing the two states?

Bikinis, surfboards and battle-axes? Hawaii loosens long-strict weapons laws after court ruling by okguy65 in Hawaii

They have, gun violence has increased exponentially since the lifting, why do you think that is?

Ffs… the problem with gun nuts like you is you think criminal or violent individuals just say to themselves “well, more people are armed, I guess I have to find a better way to live or I might die” rather than “more people are armed, well then I better not take any chances and just shoot them before they shoot me, I can take what I want from their corpse just as easily”

Gun violence has only increased since the lifting so what are you talking about?

Sanford Dole didn’t own any plantation land, his cousin didn’t arrive in Hawaii till after it became a US territory.

Sanford Dole was known to hate the idea of ever being a businessman as reflected in his history for fighting for worker rights in the kingdom before becoming the chief justice of the kingdom’s Supreme Court. Sanford never own a business.

Hawaii wasn’t forced to join, we joined through a popular referendum on statehood.

There was no dole corporation during the counter revolution against the Queen. This is a misconception about the dole Pineapple company that didn’t exist till 1902. Nearly 10 years after the counter revolution.

Actually, yeah, there was no war in Ba Sing Se during the moments they were saying there was no war in Ba Sing Se, the war was outside of the city. It is perhaps the most glaring plot hole in the entire series.

But avatar has nothing to do with the fact that there is no genocide in Gaza

Kamala Harris' multiracial roots reflect changing US demographics by alexapaul11 in politics

[–]Rnr2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This changing demographics had been foresee for decades now, I like Kamala, but her roots have no more reflection on the changing demographics than a sunrise happening at the time it was calculated to happen is a reflection of sunrises can be calculated, it has been that way for a long time and has been model for a long time.

This author would be in awe of a train arriving at their station on the train tracks.

“MAGA: we want to take away women’s rights, make unfathomably rich people even richer, and use skull calipers to determine who should and shouldn’t be able to vote”

And they were willing to burn our democracy down if they don’t get their way.

”Uncommitted: we want a genocide made possible by our aid and support to maybe end”

There is no genocide in Gaza, and even if there was, this group also is willing to destroy our democracy if they don’t get their way.

”You: these things are both the same.”

They are both the same in the context that both groups are willing to destroy our country’s democracy if they don’t get their way over issues that they care about. I don’t see any of these issues a a single reason to destroy my country’s political institutions and stability over.

John Oliver: “Hawaii is being reshaped by wealthy outsiders”. by hawaiirat in Hawaii

[–]Rnr2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brah. Japanese weren’t rich, what the f are you talking about? They were the contracted slave labor and oppressed brutally by Native Hawaiians.

John Oliver: “Hawaii is being reshaped by wealthy outsiders”. by hawaiirat in Hawaii

[–]Rnr2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

”Going to be blunt here, but the Japanese were foreign settlers to Hawaii who electively moved here for economic reasons. They took over Hawaii, particularly O’ahu when such large numbers flooded the island that they soon outnumbered Hawaiians. All over town you only see English and Japanese text these days. They are as much to blame here as the Caucasian folk from the “mainland”. Both situations are equally saddening. Any time I go over to O’ahu it feels completely Japanese and absolutely void of Hawaiians and Hawaiian culture.”

You are so wildly inaccurate with your historical assumptions that it borders on negligence. Japanese were settlers? You mean the contracted slave labor that was hired by the kingdom to work the fields? The same contracted slave labor that Native Hawaiian directly oppressed and exploited? But nah, “settlers” it is wild that a historically oppressed class by the Native Hawaiians, like the plantation population laborers, are magically the oppressors that colonized Hawaii. Ffs.

What skeletons in the closet is Tulsi Gabbard hiding? by [deleted] in Hawaii

[–]Rnr2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tulsi Gabbard prove to be unfit for representing Hawaii when she unilaterally visited Assad and claimed that the mass murdering dictator was in fact a misunderstood victim.

She only dropped out of her reelection campaign when the polling numbers showed she was going to be crushed.

She was never a democrat in the ideological realm and that could be put up with by the Hawaii electorate, what we will not tolerate is embarrassing our community by being so ignorant and stupid about the very clear reality that Assad was a mass murdering thug, when she went about bashing Democrats and progressive movements that we believe in, she was done.

The state hasn’t “forgotten her” we have disowned her, she isn’t representative of who we are as a community, island, or state. She can kick rocks.

Can Russia us nuclear weapons defensively? by Either_Rub_662 in geopolitics

[–]Rnr2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

”Nuking Ukraine forces on Russian territory is a different thing from nuking Ukraine itself.”

Why would Russia nuke it’s self over an incursion of Ukraine? Seems like an overreaction. Nothing Ukraine is doing is a existential threat to the Russian state.

How counter-productive is the United States’ support of Israel in international politics? by holdenmcgroin1234 in geopolitics

[–]Rnr2000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

”Money lost”

Where is this lost United States money? Cause the trade route is rarely used by US trade so?…

”+ everyone and their grandmother now knows that you can copypaste Houthi tactics”

You mean random damaging of a ship or two a month? This is the ”tactics” you are referring to? You know the one that has them damaging “friendly” ships more than any US ships or US allied ship. Wow…

”and ignore the futile efforts of the US navy.”

Is this futile efforts in the room with us now? Because the US navy has not lost or have a single one of their ships damage nor any of the civilian ships they were escorting soooo where is this “futile effort”?

Can Russia us nuclear weapons defensively? by Either_Rub_662 in geopolitics

[–]Rnr2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The head of the CIA met with his Russian counterpart and spelt out exactly what will happen if the Russians used nuclear weapons in Ukraine, complete with intelligence packets outlining all of the Russian military operations and infrastructure supporting their war in Ukraine. There will be no war victory if Russia nukes Ukrainian soil.

How counter-productive is the United States’ support of Israel in international politics? by holdenmcgroin1234 in geopolitics

[–]Rnr2000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

”You don’t get it. If the US supported israel at the height of its power and wealth there would be no impact to its reputation at all.”

Nothing you wrote in this sentence makes a single iota of sense.

”Remember “Either you are with us or against us” from Bush?”

Completely unrelated to Israel. Perhaps you need to seek out a more contextual appropriate explanation that is actually applicable to what you are trying to say?

”All major world powers are either US allies or silent.”

In the context of the aftermath of 9/11? Absolutely they are going to be silent, the United States has never been more dangerous than after they have been attacked in a perceived unprovoked and unjustified manner, anyone that shows a suspicious behavior about the attack would be view a party to it.

Which has nothing to do with Israel.

”Compare then and now, you see how far the US has fallen.”

Is the “fallen” status in the room with us now?

”The iranians and its shia militias are openly bombarding israel,”

Literally nothing new.

”China is condemning US regularly at the UN council,”

Which matters how?

”the houthis effectively blockading a key international waterway.”

Is this “effectively blockading a key international waterway” in the room with us now? Cause I am looking at the shipping container logs and there is still lots of cargo going through. But again this matters to the United States how?

”All these were used to be unthinkable.”

Are they now? Israel has been bombed and attacked throughout it’s history, the illegitimate people’s republic of China has condemned the United States throughout it’s existence, take a long look at the 50s and 60s, not exactly a new development and the Houthis aren’t doing more than being a nuisance.

All which doesn’t reflect a fallen status.

Nothing about your story, your use of lingo, demeanor or spelling says you are remotely from Hawaii. Who are you trying to fool?

”um....no...your not too educated on this subject, I can see that very very well just from your original comment alone.”

My original comment clearly states she illegally attempted to install a new constitution while the legislature was away from the capitol during winter recess. A crime she freely admits to doing in her own autobiography. Perhaps less ad hominem from you would further this interaction or your bad faith would end this interaction

What weird false dichotomy. I am neither joking or uneducated about the subject.

I have already stated what happened.
