Most Americans: âMONARCHY IS BAAAAADDD!!â
Me, a Hawaiian: âWhile Hawaiâi had a queen we were at the forefront of innovation, technological advancement, and international alliances. All the way up until the âdemocraticâ government of the US illegally arrested her in her own palace and threatened to kill her and massacre her people unless she signed her country over to them. Iâd like to have a queen who cares more about her peoples lives than her power again. Also, fuck Trump.â
Reposting cause I can and itâs still relevant
Its worth mentioning that Hawaii is also one of the few countries with a mythic, âHero Kingâ who they can actually prove existed. King Kamehameha the Great (yes like in Dragon Ball Z), was seven feet tall, the guardian of the war god KukaĘť ilimoku, and took Hawaii from an archipelago of rival Kingdoms who hadnât really gotten out of the Bronze Age, unified him under his dominion, and turned the Kingdom of Hawaii into a global trading empire whoâs monarchs were greeted at the Court of Queen Victoria.
Guys Iâm legit about to cry.
A post I made has over a thousand notes!! And most importantly itâs starting a conversation and spreading knowledge about what was done to my culture.
It is also so heartwarming to go in the notes and find people sharing more information and sources! And even more so to see that only two idiots decided to chime in with their misinformation.
Like, I am damn PROUD of yâall tumblr, we out here learning how to respect each otherâs cultures and itâs dooooope!!!!
