Mauna Loa Is Erupting, But Its Effects And Its Destruction Go Beyond The Lava That Will Flow.

Mauna Loa is erupting, but it’s effects and it’s destruction go beyond the lava that will flow.

This eruption and lack of real response or aid by the federal US government marks another notch in the ignorance and dismissal of my people and our constant struggles.

They will do what they always do.

They will watch.

They will continue to “closely” monitor the situation as the lava disrupts the island and they will say the damage is unavoidable, while they sit far away and stall instead of sending real aid.

Mauna Loa makes up over half of Hawai‘i Island. There have been warning signs for months, with multiple earthquakes alerting us to her imminent threat.

And now the eruption is upon us.

Mauna Loa is famously unpredictable in her lava flow, and the future is uncertain for many residents who cannot afford to leave on their own. Without formal help and evacuation, many will have no choice but to stay where they are.

Still, as of Nov 28th, 2022, there is no official evacuation or formal aid by the federal government.

For years, America has claimed that we need them. For protection. For trade. For our economy. For tourism.

They have not protected us.

Right below our feet, our islands were stolen in an illegal overthrow of our sovereign Kingdom. This had lead to mass cultural displacement and loss of identity.

Right below our feet, our ʻāina has been commercialized to death and our culture has been turned into a walking attraction.

This is not protection.

True protection means community. True protection means Hawai‘i for Hawaiians.

America does not protect my people.

My people must protect ourselves.

Restore Hawai‘i to Hawaiians. End the American occupation.

Everyone on Twitter is overcomplicating how to tank their platform.

If each individual user just sends Musk a DM or publicly tags him to say "Go fuck yourself" it will first be very funny and second leave the place a ghost town as he permabans every single one of them.

Like the mishapocalypse thing except it makes Twitter an unusable barage of gofuckyourself to just one guy that kills half the site accounts in one shot.

Not possible, sharks are too smooth.

Adults who bully children are some of the most pathetic people istg. Like do you feel so scared of everyone around you that you need to exert power over the only people you think you're better than, that being literal kids? Grow up and go to therapy.

absolutely vile for adults to be making those ‘actually weird kids who hiss in the hallways deserved to be brutally bullied’ posts btw. those are children. you are 25
