To be fair, renaming the lake was done pretty recently, and it’s relatively minor considering all the other shit going on (especially the Iran war), so I’m not that surprised it got lost in the noise for some people. But the folks bending the knee largely tend to be the ones with their hands on the levers of power/influence–case in point, Trump renamed the lake via executive order, which means only government officials are compelled to use the new name, but Google Maps went ahead and changed the name anyway just to leave no boot unlicked.

Allowing yourself to be manipulated by a shithead in hopes of getting rid of them later is generally preferable to shooting yourself in the foot and ending up with an even bigger shithead

I don’t disagree; the full-grown adults who are complicit in the bullshit we’ve been subjected to absolutely deserve to be punished. But the comment I originally replied to demanded the death of “kids and pets” as well, which is plainly unhinged.

Everyone in this thread is suddenly really comfortable with hurting innocent people/animals as long as they get to see the ones they hate suffer. Where have I seen that before…?

What in the hell is the matter with you?
