misinformation has not been central to the messaging on social media (this time around).
Perhaps it’s not the driving force, but it’s still fairly prevalent. Here’s one example:
Kaniela Ing, a former member of the State House from Maui who should know better posted:
Spoiler: major weapon contractors reside in current telescopesI
This is about TMT investors getting even richer off our military-siphoned tax dollars by weaponizing our sacred Mauna.
Even if you support the project—if you want peace and oppose the military industrialized complex, you cannot in good conscience choose this location.
I replied that wasn’t true, that there are two military related scopes on Maui but not Big Island, (as did one or two other people). He did recant saying he lives and Maui and didn’t know about Mauna Kea. Why did he post as if he did know?
To top it off 53 people liked his Mauna Kea weapons comments.
I’ve been called a bot, fake news, racist, and a lot more especially when I bring up the 72% Native Hawaiian TMT support poll. People really can’t stand that possibility.
