The US banned Hawaiian language, poisons our water, invaded our country, & illegally occupies Hawaii to this day, but speaks of 'supporting Taiwan independence'. My mother's hands were broken for speaking Hawaiian in school, and we are punished TODAY for speaking Hawaiian.
We indigenous peoples of Hawaii, Taiwan, New Zealand, all the way to Madagascar share common origin, language & master wayfinding (Ho'okele). Nearly wiped out during Western colonization, my Hawaiian language & culture was banned by the US, & the the Dutch subjugated Taiwan.
The Dutch brutally massacred both the indigenous & Han Chinese in Taiwan, & referred to the Chinese oppressed labor as 'worker bees, producing their honey.' In Hawaii, similar white-oligarch run sugar plantations exploited Hawaiian & Asian 'coolies' for capitalist profit.
Taiwan & Hawaii share history of Colonial occupation, ghettoization of the native people, as rich Westerners enjoyed 'paradise', & gas stations to plunder Asia. MacArthur called Taiwan an 'unsinkable aircraft carrier' McKinley said, 'We need Hawaii to get our share of China'
The US military dumps jet fuel into our Hawaiian water supply, poisoning my family, as Hawaii continues to be an 'Unsinkable aircraft carrier' used by empire against our Pacific & Asian relatives. The colonizers continue to subjugate us Native Hawaiians.
After Chinese leader Koxinga liberated Taiwan from brutal Dutch enslavement, the Japanese later colonized Taiwan again. They again massacred & subjugated the indigenous and Han Chinese both. They had a 'Japanization Program' to remove Chinese names & replace with Japanese names.
In this dark colonial era, sovereign Hawaii was building racial equality and socialist cooperation and anti-imperial alliance. We had the world's highest literacy rate, invented Universal Healthcare, public mass transit, full citizenship for Asian, African, as the West enslaved.
Sun Yat-Sen, known to this day as Father of China, was raised in Hawaii, & used the sovereign Hawaiian Nation as model for a technologically advanced, politically independent, anti-imperialist, socialist China. Hsing Chung Hui (Revive China Society) was organized and funded here.
A thread on my game Neofeud about my life as an impoverished Hawaiian, social worker and STEM teacher for other poor/homeless, living in slums beneath billionaire mansions. My experiences refracted through the lens of satirical cyberpunk.
Please help me with this actual education that the US tries to bury, and make Native Hawaiians like myself and my family homeless again.

More on the history of the US illegal occupation of Hawaii, banning our language and culture, using us as a leaky gas station for the military-industrial complex, and continued US genocide and subjugation against us Hawaiians in 2023.
The US is only now *beginning* to investigate its poisoning of thousands of our Hawaiian families. The US is horrific.
