Most Māori/Maoli/Maohi people who are struggling to get food, clothes and shelter are so concerned with that, that philosophizing about freedom and socialist democracy is usually unfortunately beyond their rational. They don't realize that the power of the settler government's throughout the world can't exist without first separating us from our identity, because if we had some sense of who we really are, there is no way in hell we would allow any government to push its genocidal consensus on our homelands.This ignorance exists - but it can be destroyed. Māori/Maohi/Maoli talk about change and working within the system to achieve that. The problem with always being a conformist is that when you try to change the system from within its not you who changes the system, but its the system that will eventually change you. There is usually nothing wrong with compromise in a situation, but compromising your self, your culture and your people in any situation is another story completely. Our World is a landscape of Māori/Maohi/Maoli Nations, Iwi and Hapū who’s "nowr-days so called chiefs" are cowards in the face of colonial imperialism. You see our country is abundant in resources, and we have the capacity to eliminate poverty from our society. But plutocracy, another words a government run by the rich such as this one and traditionally oppressive European states, force the third world into buying over priced unnecessary goods while exporting huge portions of our natural resources. I'm quite sure that people will look upon my attitude and sentiments and look for hypocrisy and hatred in my words. But my revolution is born out of love for my people - not hatred for others.You see most Māori/Maohi/Maoli have left their homelands in an exodus for "the better life", and have crossed the Great Ocean of Kiwa to disconnect themselves from the reality of their own cultural oppression, in the īllusion of superiority, elevating themselves in the pecking order of the oppressed. I know I was one of them.Our Indigenous brothers and sisters of Australia, Tāhiti, Kanaky, Fiji, Hawaii and all other pacific nations, and Indigenous nations of the world, as different as we have been taught to look at each other by colonial society we are in the same struggle, and until we realize that, we will be fighting for scraps from the table of a system that has kept us subservient instead of being self determined. As a result we have no control over our lands, nor do we run our own country.So no matter how much you want to dye your hair blonde and put fake eyes in and follow an anorexic standard of beauty; and no matter how many diamonds you buy, and the people who you exploit to get them; no matter what kind of car you drive, or what kind of fancy clothes you put on - you will never be them - they are always going to look at you like nothing but a fucken little monkey. I’d rather be proud of being Māori/Maohi/Maoli rather than desperately trying to be something I'm really not - just to fit in. And whether we want to accept it or not, that's what this culture or lack of culture is feeding us.I want a better life for my family and for my children, but it doesn't have to be at the expense of my own homeland, or any one else s. We are given the idea that if we didn't have people to exploit that this world wouldn't be rich enough to let us have these petty little material things in our lives and basic standards of living but you see here in our country the attitude that is feed to us, is that out there lives lesser people then us and “fuck them” let them fend for them self's, No! fuck you! they are us!It's the business giants and the government officials who make all the real money - we have what ever they decide to kick down to us. My enemy is not the average white man, it's not the white family down the block ,or the kids I see on the street. My enemy is the white-collar criminal I don't see, the business round table, the corporate monopoly owners, fake liberals, and "politicians playing god" - those are my enemies, the Generals of the army's, those are the real “mutha fuckers” that I need to take it too and must be made accountable. Not the poor broke country arse solider that's too stupid to know shit about the way things are set up. In fact I have more in common with most working and middle class white people than I do with most rich Māori/Maohi/Maoli corporates.As much as this country is founded on racism, we also need to understand the real issue is classism. Many of us are in the same boat and it's sinking while these rich “mutha fuckers” ride on a luxury liner, and as long as we keep fighting over kicking people out of the little boat we are all in, we are going to miss the right to get back a better standard of living as a whole. In another words - I have no intention of escaping my homeland. I am here to smash down the walls that keep us in, to free all my people - and hang the “mutha fuckers” that kept me bound there, then burn their house of oppression to the god damn ground. I want to take back these lands and return them to my people who's ancestors blood was spilled to protect these lands .You cannot change the past - but you can make the future, and anyone that tells you different is a fucken lethargic devil. I don't look upon a few token Māori/Maohi/Maoli people in the public sector as some type of achievement for my people as a whole. Most of those so called "successful" individuals are only concerned with acquiring wealth for their own profit, and will happily sell them selves out - and their people to do so. But I don't consider a brother a sell-out if he moves out of the ghetto. Understand this - poverty has nothing to do with our people - it's not in our culture to be poor - that's only been the last 130 years of our history. Remember eternity and our existence as a people and the knowledge we brought to the world in terms of quantum physic's, strategic warfare in world war 1, world world 2 and deep sea navigation. So in conclusion, I'm not going to vote for somebody just because they are Māori/Maoli/Maohi. They have to truly want to fight for what's rightfully ours and fight to free our people. Sometimes language needs to be heard using its exact tones and phrases of pure expression. Mahalo, iorana, kia orana, maururu and kia ora.Ka Nāʻo o ka lani -o- Nākoloikalani

  • ALOHA Kakou, For Hawaiians who want Independence, all they have to do is to go home to the Hawaiian Kingdom. Get out of the American Box. Start acting, behaving, thinking and walking the path of being a Hawaiian National of the Hawaiian Kingdom nation. Stop the Crying, Screaming and Prayers and Go Home to the Kingdom. Stop living as an American and get reborn as a Hawaiian National of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The nation of our ancestors that still exist.
    Long Live The Hawaiian Kingdom, o Pomaikaiokalani
  • Kia ora brother
  • I read the other posting before this one. I frequently visit our houseless that are living on our shores. I listen, and here the same anger and rage. At first, about 20 years ago, our poverty were people in deviance of the failing system and they had a need for their (our) land and culture practices. Somehow the Federal Reserve Board of the 1913 beget new endeavors of greed and Americana of power and dominance. For the most part, the later feeds off within and reaches far and deep within our mentality. Like you--I just want to scream !@#%^*** Kaohi
