      1) The population of Guåhan is over 180,000 - and 746/180,000 = .004. This = NOT a representative survey. The data from this survey was collected from LESS THAN 1% of the island’s population and then used to generalize claims as being representative of the MAJORITY POPULATION.

      According to the author ZERO demographics were collected. So we don’t know WHO was surveyed. We don’t know if they were manamko’ or manhoben, their economic status, if they’re CHamoru, etc. We no nothing about how those surveyed are linked to the colonial structure on the island

      The survey was conducted using loaded language in the beginning sections of the survey. This has large potential to heavily influenced the mindset of respondents when completing the survey and doing so muddies your the waters of an already tåke colored situation.

      So what does this actually translate to? Of the 746 surveyed 50% roughly prefer status quo. That means about 300 people out of those surveyed prefer status quo.

      Throughout colonization colonizers have used science to oppress, erase, and degrade indigenous identities, indigenous experiences, and indigenous liberation. The main tool used has been data bc it is considered the backbone of scientific paradigms.

      In Hawaii, TMT supporters used a similar claim rooted in a similar style survey that advocated for Mauna Kea buildup bc “Majority of Hawaiians supported the Telescopes”. The survey was a heavy talking point from settler scientists and was based on similar unrepresentative data.

      When fake data is weaponized as a tool against indigenous liberation it relies on media to disseminate and normalize. A headline like “Guam majority agrees isn’t ready for SD” makes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Public accepts the “majority” opinion and reinforces conversation.

      On top of public opinion it degrades efforts by activists and liberation change makers. I am more resistant/dismissive of activists when I see that the majority don’t see decolonization as a reality which means profess loses traction around caring for sacred sites being violated

      Data and media combo have also attributed fragmenting indigenous self-worth. If data says majority dgaf about colonization and the media normalizes those “facts” the mental and emotional trauma that causes can lead to serious depression and suicide among indigenous peoples.

      Basically I’m truly disgusted but not surprised that @GuamPDN would knowingly publish any form of argument media that causes serious harm to indigenous communities KNOWING the claims made were based in fake news. Enough using misinformation to delay CHamoru liberation.

      I loved this thread! Incredibly thoughtful, you are definitely knowledgable in statistics and logical fallacies. Si yu'us ma'åse for your important viewpoint.
