    W protected a GIANT amount of ocean around Hawaii. Arguably, this is eco-fascism coming from a president who is prosecuting a mass death event, if not genocide in the middle east, while having peace protestors arrested and beaten, like W.

        George Bush literally did the same thing. They’re the same. The US shouldn’t have jurisdiction over the Hawaiian Islands in the first place, they should be under control of the Sovereign Nation of Hawaii.

              Yes, why? Did you have to look it up? Or is the concept of democracy offensive to you?

                because your comment was a complete non-sequitor. fuck Joe Biden.

                What is democratic about a military takeover of a sovereign nation for the capitalist benefit of a few pineapple farmers, and then declaring the ocean around your military base/tourist destination to be “protected” while doing nothing meaningful to prevent the climate change that is threatening that same ocean?

                Dumbass.

                  Ah, so what you meant was “I don’t like this event that happened in the past, but America should have jurisdiction over Hawaii at this point in time.”

                  Thanks for clarifying for me. :)

                    The occupation of Hawaii is ongoing… what you meant was “I have no understanding of politics and just want Joe Biden to win so I can pretend things are fine and sit back and enjoy my relative comforts”

            Those of us who mind your support of genocide arguably are more irked by the genocide you support than you are irked by our existence, but I guess everything’s relative.

      Exactly. George W. Bush did the same thing, created a national monument for the NW Hawaiian islands. You don’t see people glazing Bush for that, given all the numerous human rights violations and obvious war crimes… but they’ll turn a blind eye for Biden.
