  1. Hawaii is literally a big U.S military base. The only highways that exist in that state are there to connect the military bases.

  2. Best I can do is tax breaks for corporate conglomerates. - government

  3. Welcome to capitalism boyo

  4.  @thomasg5201  You can only overcome capitalism if you and your fellow serfs engage in some very aggressive jolly cooperation against the ownership class.

  5.  @orlandojohnson5742  This would mean more if the bible wasn't such a deliberate tool of colonization.

  6.  @jacquiwmch  I'm a huge fan of Australias policy to do nothing while huge swaths of the nation were burning down.

  7. I can't buy your arm or leg huh? Would you consider selling one of your kidneys for the chance to see your family in Hawaii?

  8. Keeping wealthy people from buying homes that people will never live in, is communism and will not be tolerated in free™ Murica

  9.  @truepercula  Don't forget tropical agriculture. That work is done by the Asians(who are the majority population of Hawaii). Which Murica doesn't like to acknowledge so of course you don't know about it.
    2
  10. But will it still be tropical? That's what I care about
    2
  11. Lol get rekted. That slice of the tropics belongs to Murica and her economic elites. Ask the mainland "native Americans" what happens when they are standing on land the murican rich want.

  12.  @erikalygren77  This guy capitalisms

  13. It's how Murica displaces undesirables. Murica still uses the old method, genocide. But Hawaii natives didn't need to get hit with the genocide stick to be taken over. The U.S military is ready and waiting should that stick need to come out.
    2
  14. Capitalism baby. It'll ruin your life, culture, and drive the entire biosphere into mass extinction. But it will also make a handful of already wealthy ghouls slightly richer. So it's totally worth it.
    1
  15. Also Hawaii is an island in the middle of nowhere on the Pacific. Which makes it expensive
    1
  16. Cool. Come to the mainland. We will be happy to exploit you for the profit of the same master class that booted you out of Hawaii. Isn't capitalism awesome for you.
    1
  17. Lol how is you begging for scrapes from the rich who stole from you going to help? A rich guy already bought an entire island and booted you fools off of it. That's been the case for like, a decade at this point. If you want to keep that land you are going to have to resort to spooky communism. And I don't think the natives Hawaiian have the backbone to embrace militant communism to solve their displacement.

  18.  @maryjane9039  It's basically the same

  19. Capitalism

  20.  @NashvilleBraids  I mean, duh. That's the whole reason islands in the ocean are taken. Colonizers gonna colonize
    1
  21. @Fread Lefoos inefficient govt with some corruption. I mean that is an accurate statement for the U.S federal government which rules that island
    1
  22. I do. And I want it to keep happening. Let the poor's either organize together in glorious class struggle. Or let the poor's be pushed into the oceans like the trash the system treats them as.
    1
  23. How is that hard? Do you not know how the system that rules you works? The rich will buy any land they can exploit for profit. The poor's are pushed into ever more marginal and terrible conditions. The only reason the poor's aren't genocided is because people get all pissy when Murica busts out the genocide stick. Which annoys the rich and that is what's really bad.
    1
  24. @TryNDoxMe Please stay being an idiot in whatever section of bumfuck nowhere Murica you occupy. Your stupid must stay contained.
    1
  25. You could always embrace communism. That would solve this problem. Problem is, that won't work if you do it alone.
    1
  26. Your only hope of emancipation is to organize your fellow poor's into class war against your masters. You all either rise together or get individually exploited.
    1
  27. How about your masters make you work 80 hours a week for a studio apartment you share with 8 other people? I ask so you are ready when it happens to you in a decade.
    1
  28. The balance is the rich do what they want. The poor suffer what they must.

  29.  @LM-qv7cy  Tourism makes Hawaii thrive, for tourists(and the massive holders of Capital who develop and profit from tourism). Who said anything about benefiting the locals?
    1
  30.  @GeographyGeek  Lol no. Real estate across the U.S has gone haywire. It's not just Hawaii. The master class wants to reaffirm the feudal title of Lord. So they are buying all the land and making us rent it back from them. Also FYI tourism is the private sector version of colonizing. With the military waiting as capitals enforcer if the locals get too uppity about the raw deal they are being subjected to.
    1
  31. You want justice? Best I can do is just us landowning rich getting everything. Will that work for you? Don't tell me your answer. Please let our military bases on that island know your opinion on the matter.

  32.  @Tarotainment  Did someone say outsiders?!?!!?!? Angry Xenophobic noises
    1
  33. Lol no. Chinese Taipei only exists because western powers want a puppet state at the ready, should the west want to take another colonial bite of the Chinese apple. Hawaii will be a Murican colony as long as Murica is a global superpower. Which is guaranteed for at least another century.

  34. Rent control is communism. Thus it is banned.
    1
  35. I'll have you know jacking up rents on exploitable people is a profitable disgrace. Corporate landlords taking over housing is doing wonders at making already wealthy ghouls slightly richer. And that's more important to your rulers than anything as trivial as your well-being or your access to basic housing.
    1
  36. I mean Murica normally does that "forcing out" with guns, bombs, and genocide. So using economic forces to do it is actually is major moral improvement for the American empire.
    1
  37. Colonizers gonna colonize.
    1
  38. How dare you slur the system your master class has ordained for you. The Murican empire will displace anyone and everyone it has to, as long as that displacement helps make a few already wealthy ghouls slightly richer of course. That's what makes the displacement logical and just.
    1
  39. Homes are for landlords. Your lot is to toil for temporary access to the shelter they own.
    1
  40. This is America son. Binding the natives to wage slavery is a major improvement over how we used to displace the natives.
    1
  41.  @SuperDPJR  The world's 10 richest men(I'd say people but they are all men) own more wealth than the combined wealth of the worlds 4 billion poorest people.
    1
  42. I mean, the U.S normally just genocided the natives and then took the land. Displacing the natives and Taking the land via capitalist forces is a major moral improvement for the colonial powers.
    1
  43.  @joelsefur666  Lol so the poor's aren't allowed to breed huh? It's a genocide that focuses on purging the lower classes from existence. Malthus would be proud of you.
    1
  44. Welcome to wage slavery. Your bloodline can only be emancipated through the glorious communist revolution. Without that, enjoy spending your life toiling away for of profit of the people who took that island from your family.
    1
  45. Media is owned by the non natives. Also these natives should consider themselves lucky. Ask the mainland natives how Murica went out "displacing" them. Spoiler. It involved genocides.
    1
  46. Welcome to capitalism. Sell your body for profit or go be homeless somewhere the bourgeoisie don't have to look at you.

  47. @Dera Kioandria Williams Laughs in Murican empire
    1
  48. Lol wait until you find out why the migrants from south of the U.S are coming to Murica.
    1
  49. Lol they can have the privileges afford the mainland natives. We will marginalize them or genocide them. They can dislike it all they want, but our military is ready and waiting to remind them who really owns that dirt they stand on. And spoiler. The natives don't own shit.
    1
  50.  @Omar-kl3xp  Ask the mainland natives how Murica "displaced" them off their land. If the "native" Hawaiians really want a live example of that, the military is already there ready and waiting to do some live action demonstrations.
    1
  51. It's not their land though. That land belongs to the U.S(and it's massive military that actually owns Hawaii) first. Then it's capitalist class buys whatever land on that island that can be exploited for profit. Natives don't own anything and never will. Hence the constant military presence on that plot of tropic dirt.
    1
  52. @Mr. Capital Gains Lol. Hawaiian fun fact. The only major highways that exist in that state are for connecting military bases. Guess what those military bases will do if the "natives Hawaiians"(whatever that means) try force?
    1
  53. Lol. Land use in Hawaii is for the U.S military first. The Murican capitalist class second. Everyone else can fight with each other over what's left.
    1
  54. It's happening wherever corporate capital is allowed to by real estate to landlord over. Your corporate masters are literally rent seeking.
    1
  55. Who would have guess a patch of tropical rock all alone in the Pacific would be expensive? Shocking.

  56. Hearts are for communists. Capitalism runs on organs sold for profit. Speaking of, wanna sell your spare kidney?
    1
  57.  @W3Slots  Lol one rich white dude bought an entire island in Hawaii. That's as close as a "natives only island" idea has ever gotten to existing.
    1
  58. On the plus side. All that extra money being spent on rent. Is making a few already wealthy ghouls slightly richer. And at the end of the day, isn't that what really matters?
    1
  59. Get rekted poor people. The world belongs to the wealthy. If you don't like it, organize as a class or be murdered by the military.

  60.  @truepercula  Laughs in Koch industries

  61.  @kiki29073  Lol it's so hilarious all the Muricans think their slice of bumfuck nowhere is somehow immune from the global capitalism the empire they live in created.
    1
  62. Lol what? Asians are the majority race on Hawaii and Japanese are the largest group among Asians. It makes sense they have notable democratic control when they as a block of voters make up the most people.

  63. Murica hates the homeless. But Murica keeps them around (and homeless) because the existence of homeless people serve as a motivational threat to the working class.
    1
  64. That is the intent. Fun fact. That method of debt based land removal is the same of Thomas Jefferson used on the Indians in the state of Montana.
    1
  65. The filthy poor's are too unorganized and stupid to be a threat to their masters. Hence the ease at which those poors are exploited for profit.
