Hawaiian pizza isn't 'Hawaiian' but a colonizer's invention to make tons of money in collaboration with Dole, who helped overthrow our sovereign country, resulting in genocide of Hawaiians, banning our culture, language, and erasing the history.

It was created in Canada by a Sam Panopoulos, who used pineapples Hawaiian Canned Pineapple Co.. HCPC a brand of the now Dole Food Corporation, a company founded by James Dole, cousin of Sanford Dole - a wealthy oligarch who collaborated with the US military to steal our country.

Pineapples, not at all native to Hawaii, were instilled in the world as 'Hawaiian' by Dole's global marketing. He made millions selling his near-slave-labor grown pineapples while he & his cousin helped suppress Hawaiian language & culture, stripping us of our wealth and dignity.

Help us Native Hawaiians keep doing more educational and resisting colonial oppression and not become homeless AGAIN in our own land. ko-fi.com/silverspook

The ads depicted sexualized Hawaiian women, and spread the idea that 'brown people make great servants'. The US military bought tons of pineapples and pushed cook books as well.

Dole & his fellow US-backed barons hyper-exploited non-white workforces on their plantations. Living in 'barracks' with 5 men sardine-packed into 10 square feet, the 'servants' did grueling labor for negligible pay.

Dole Pineapple also massacred strikers in plantations in Hawaii, with the full support of the US government. They continue to go unpunished for ongoing abuse in here.

Later, in the 1970s, Dole Corporation teamed up with the Marcos dictatorship that assisted Dole's stealing of ancestral Moro and Lumad lands, reproducing the horrific 'Hawaiian' Pineapple Plantation system in the Philippines.

The Pineapple Pestilence in Hawaii continues into the 21st century. In 2003-2007 “Working conditions were so oppressive at Maui Pineapple that some Thai workers felt that they were treated more like prisoners and slaves,” "thrown against the wall, grabbed & punched in the face."

Since the US-backed coup, Big sugar, pineapple & tourism all received huge government support w/regular beatings & suppression of strikes for predominately non-white workers under extreme colonial-capitalism. Sure, eat pineapples on focaccia bread. But it's not 'Hawaiian pizza'.

A thread on my game Neofeud about my life as an impoverished Hawaiian, social worker and STEM teacher for other poor/homeless, living in slums beneath billionaire mansions. My experiences refracted through the lens of satirical dystopian fiction.

More on Hawaii that had the world's highest literacy rate, world's first Universal Healthcare, invented submarines before Jules Verne published 20,000 leagues, before the US invaded, banned our language and culture, ghettoized us, and buried the history.

More on the illegal US occupation of Hawaii, ban on our language and culture, stealing of our land, and destruction of our prosperous, advanced country in the 1890s to turn us into a slave pineapple colony.

Another reason to boycott Pizza Hut -- they directly and proudly feed genocidal troops in Isntreal.
