    Many natives of Hawaii consider their kingdom to be illegally occupied by the USA, and I don’t suppose they would be especially happy about trading the USA for a new colonialist occupier. The Kingdom of Hawaii was a marvel of the world and deserves to exist again.

      Queen Liliuokalani deserves to have her name heard. And the US and the Dole Corporation both owe Hawaiians their sovereignty back.

        When the great and powerful democracy of the United States of God or whatever the fuck your despot wants the world to call it this week cannot even match the quality of life previously provided by a small tribal kingdom, Americans forfeit the right to an opinion on the matter.

          Great .

          What if the current king dies?

          Also, what is “good” here? Can I insult the king? Can I criticize the king? Can I object to decisions from the king? Do I have the freedom to protest?

          That’s the thing about democracies, if done right they can always have good leadership.
