You got it baby, free hawaii

How do Hawaiians feel about this? Just in case: what would you consider a valid qualification for Hawaiians, for their opinion on this matter to be material? And how many of them support an independent Hawaii? I looked online but didn’t find any hard numbers, only vague movements. Scottish independence for example seems to have substantial , if minority , support. If the same cannot be said for Hawaii, then this comm…

>How do Hawaiians feel about this?

As is the case when it comes to indigenous populations being displaced and slowly replaced over time: they don't get to have a choice. Hawaii was mostly Japanese in the early 1900s having already displaced previous arrivals, and today less than 15% of the population considers themselves native hawaiians. The remaining 85% are there _because_ Hawaii is not independent, why would they ever hold a vote for it ?

See similar cases in New Caledonia, the Falklands, and more.

> And Hawaii is not in America. Certainly neither is Guam etc. Sure, no argument here. > What kind of argument are you even trying to make? Mostly that characterizing Greenland as European is just as insane as characterizing French Guiana that way. Or the falknlands, New Caledonia, Polynesia, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Aruba, Curaçao, Anguilla, Bermuda, the Virgin Islands, etc etc. These are colonies—not part of europe,…

Would you say that US attacked Japan first because Japan never ever attacked US? Only Hawaii which is not American.

I don't spend my time holding opinions about which state jerked off on the other's face. But hawaii is certainly not american

Oh, so US is giving up their claims to Purto Rico, Alaska, Hawaii, etc? Or are American imperalists holding on to their colonies?

God willing? Absolutely.

No, it's a colony. Calling it european is an affront to everyone with the ability to read

A European colony is European.

You can call anything anything you want. Why not call greenland australian?

Of course you'll look ridiculous regardless

Yea, in 29 Germany, France and UK will have elections, and far-right parties with anti-EU and partially pro-Russian attitudes are leading the polls. If they win, there will be hardly any unified "Europe" left. Why would I then trust Germany ruled by AfD over MAGA-America? At least with China there's some consistency. I can reliably trust them not to give a shit about me or my privacy, and to further their geopolitica…

Are you talking about the same China which has repeatedly performed industrial espionage, embedded surveillance into products, and supported the Russian invasion of Ukraine?

It's called "competence"

> Denmark isn't "being a dick about decolonization", it's just that they happen to be very kindly subsidising half of Greenland's budget, which causes even many enthusiastic about the idea of an independent Greenland cause to think that leaving might be a mistake. Brother, spread this pro-colonization propaganda elsewhere. > Conversely, the leader of the present day United States threatens to colonising Greenland by…

Fine, be that American whose ignorance of world affairs is exceeded only by faith that anything its government does, dastardly foreigns do worse...

That's just silly. Is a Frenchman French, even if he lives in the US?

Without getting hung up on the exact phrase “number 1”. It’s very literally one of the biggest things in official US national security strategy right now and some leaks of the non-public version talk about explicit plans to try and destroy the EU. So semantics aside, the overall point stands on solid ground.

That whole thing is just incoherent. There's lots about forming a trading alliance against China, and then loads about destroying the EU. You can't have both of those at the same time.

Those fools think of Russia as ally against both.

Both the UK and the EU are rolling in censorship, surveillance and digital ID.

You've literally just contradicted your own post in this thread.

No, I haven't. Both the UK and EU are doing many of the same things. You can argue that the EU is bureaucratic without supporting bureaucracy within the UK. These are not contradictory positions.

The EU has better healthcare and welfare overall, but fewer individual rights in other areas. Less gun crime (although this depends on region). Poverty levels vary a lot across the EU. Americans take homeschooling for granted, for better or worse, but it is banned in some European countries like Germany. Also the USA allows groups such as the Amish their liberty, which would be extremely unlikely in much of the EU wh…

the eu is better for online freedom of expression, with its GDPR regulations

GDPR is decent, but the governments themselves are pushing surveillance so it is two steps forward and one back.
