    as you can clearly see,

    On June 27, 1959, a referendum asked residents of Hawaiʻi to vote on the statehood bill; 94.3% voted in favor of statehood and 5.7% opposed it.

          The discussion is about US OCCUPYING Hawaii. Imagine thinking that a referendum of the occupiers on whether they want to keep occupying is a valid way to decide whether people who have bee OCCUPIED agree with the occupation. It’s like if I moved into your house and put a gun to your head, and then ran a referendum to see if I should stay there.

          The fact that you don’t understand how idiotic your argument is shows what an utter imbecile you are.

            WRONG. you changed the subject to a straw man argument when you couldn’t argue the facts in good faith. Right here:

            going by your comment history, logical fallacies are something you’re an expert at wielding and often get comments removed and your account banned for it (and or your habit of throwing insult-ridden tantrums when your bad-faith tactics fail)

            The fact that you don’t understand how idiotic your argument is shows what an utter imbecile you are.

            oh, look, more childish name-calling because you can’t argue in good faith based on the facts, and I’m some idiot who will fall fr your little tricks.

              I see you have reading comprehension problems, which I guess is no surprise given that you communicate almost exclusively in children’s pictures. The quote you screenshotted very clearly talks about the native population of Hawaii. You know the people who live there, not the people who are occupying them. Imagine not being able to understand that.

              going by your comment history, logical fallacies are something you’re an expert at wielding and often get comments removed and your account banned for it (and or your habit of throwing insult-ridden tantrums when your bad-faith tactics fail)

              Sounds like you’re talking about yourself there colonizer.

              oh, look, more childish name-calling because you can’t argue in good faith based on the facts, and I’m some idiot who will fall fr your little tricks.

              I’m just making a basic observation about your level of intelligence based on your comment history. You are objectively an imbecile. This isn’t me trying to insult you, that’s just a basic fact.

                I see you have reading comprehension problems

                more insults not based in fact. just because I don’t fall for your countless logical fallacies and outright lies - all of which I’ve posted out and explained in detail - doesn’t mean I have any problems reading or comprehending. you’re just mad I keep calling you out. hence the insults.

                and if you can’t even win an augment against “children’s pictures”… well, that’s certainly a self-own, as far as I’m concerned.

                Sounds like you’re talking about yourself there colonizer.

                “I know you are but what am I?” is not a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.

                I’m just making a basic observation

                you’re hurling insults because you’re mad, and can’t make an argument based on the facts. but keep trying to convince me you’re “entertained” while throwing name-calling tantrums, lmao

            I see the comment I replied to, the context and words used, and how it was changed to suit an argument once the facts became inconvenient.

            perhaps you should pay closer attention to the conversation before you jump in unprepared.

                Perhaps it was you that didn’t pay attention to the title in the first place?

                see, I have proof, you have madboi rage you can’t process like a healthy person, so you direct it outwards at the person who pointed out - with evidence - that you’re wrong. classy.

                now that two different people explained to you that “people who live there” clearly meant “natives”

                you mean “moved the goalposts when they could win an argument and on facts”. lying now when there’s plenty f evidence here proving that you’re lying is a pretty bad way to try to convince someone of something.

                Perhaps now that you’ve been explained what “occupation” means

                I don’t need a bunch of angry trolls who can’ open their mouths without lies, rage, childish insults, and logical fallacies falling out to “explain” anything to me.

                    I’m pretty sure you understand what we’re talking about here:

                    I’m pretty sure I see through your logical fallacies and am not buying your mental gymnastics to cover for them.

                    this isn’t about “winning” just because that’s how you see the world, although I would categorically say that you’ve lost. lost time, lost face, and certainly lost your mind if you think you’ve won anything here.

                    Or you’re not actually interested in the topic and are here only to do some light trolling?

                    says the troll, lmao
