or ‘Billionaire Haole Builds Underground Apocalypse Bunker On Island Chain Where Locals Find It Increasingly Difficult To Stay’
This is colonialism
There are now more Native Hawaiians living outside of Hawaii than within the island chain. This is not because they’ve been desperate to leave; for many, it’s because they have little choice in the matter.
It’s toxic capitalism cosplaying as colonialism.
i.e. good old fashioned colonialism. Hawaii was originally annexed at gunpoint as a result of plantation owners conspiring with Congress in order to avoid high tariffs on sugar. Effectively, they wanted to expand and increase profits and the Hawaiian Kingdom stood in the way. Luckily for them, members of US government saw enormous military potential in taking the islands.
Is there really a difference between those two things?
Only in that the toxic capitalism can exist without colonialism. Also, colonialism at its height preceded modern capitalism.
In spirit, though, no. They’re the same.
