They couldn’t even be bothered to do that with Hawaii. Hawaii is still illegally occupied according to the US’s own laws

By god you’re right. A shameful omission on my part, Hawaii is my favorite example of the practicalities of imperialist acquisition.

Tbh i find it entirely believable that your average CPC member regards Hawaiian peope more fondly than your average , if even just for a lack of racist propaganda as a child

Hawaii is not a state of the US. It’s a vassal at best.

Did the US neglect Hawaii? Impossible to say.

All I can say with certainty is that you’re a traitor to the nation and a Russian shill far-right lunatic Chinese bot farmer should you suggest it was.

right-wing narrative

That narrative? The government should be helping its citizens. I am a very smart liberal and I definitely don’t just categorize things as bad/right wing and good/liberal.

It’s kind of fucked up how the overton window in the US has shifted so far to the right that the mere idea that a government should ever help its people is foreign to them.

government helping people is soviet ideology. the government should keep its corrupt bureaucratic hands out of the free market and its magical ability to innovate solutions (don’t look up what corporate subsidies are)

Oh this is one of my favorite lib narratives. Pointing out when the US does a bad thing is ENEMY PROPAGANDA. See also: pointing out when the ENEMY does a good thing is ENEMY PROPAGANDA.

Didn’t this also happen in the UK when got hold of Conservative plans to sell out the NHS to US insurance firms

IIRC the conversation ended up just being about how the document was leaked by rUsSiAn HaCkErS and discussing its contents would be playing into Putin’s hands or something

Same with Hillary’s emails. People like to use “but her emails” as some thought terminator as if her emails never actually mattered. They did. For one they showed media cooperation with the Democratic party.
