Diseases like small-pox were weaponized by colonizers to eliminate Native Americans. They tried this on Native Hawaiians, but we used contact-tracing, lockdowns, vaccines & universal healthcare (which we invented) to prevent biological warfare from wiping out our people. #Native
Asian & PI were scapegoated for disease, when it's been Westerners weaponizing infection that result in decimation of populations. The white ships' crew carrying smallpox in the 1800s, vax card fakers, or the US military that's been the #1 vector for Spanish flu and Covid plague.
The US set fire to Hawaiian & Asian homes & businesses after invading, & forced us into the blaze at gunpoint. Like racist 'Wuhan Flu', Asians were blamed for plague & burned, but sick Whites were treated in posh hotels. My #AAPI parents struggled in slums built on these ashes.
The million deaths in the US were never inevitable, and some countries have replicated 1800's Hawaii's successes in containing disease today. Excess deaths, mass-disability is *increasing* despite the West burying this fact for corrupt politicians and capitalist profit.
In addition to the US military poisoning our water, devastating our land, mass-imprisoning us Hawaiians, making us homeless, and police murders in HI are the highest of any US 'state'. Hawaii is also by far the most economically unequal.
My partner and I have to come up with our own Hawaiian language and history curriculum (the US erases our Hawaiian history also) which takes a lot of time. We could use support to keep doing this education against US anti-indigenous genocide: https://ko-fi.com/silverspook
More on the US ban of Hawaiian language and culture, stealing our land, imprisoning our leaders, destroying our universal healthcare, using us as a leaking military gas station, and committing ongoing genocide in Hawaii: https://octodon.social/@silverspookgames/108590592079274815

The US banned Hawaiian language, poisos our water, devastated our universal healthcare, overthrew our country, & illegally occupies Hawaii to this day. My mother's hands were broken for speaking Hawaiian in school.
The US commits ongoing genocide against us Native Hawaiians as well as Native Americans by targeting our kids for removal and placement with y families. #icwa
This stealing of indigenous children after stealing parents' resources, giving yt foster parents the money is the central goal of the genocidal US foster/cps/adoption system. It's at the heart of my game Neofeud, about the *actual* Hawaiian reality.

White people don't realize the 'unpolitical' status quo means our genocide.
