The reason they do dumb shit like this is to distract from the evil shit they’re doing.
The crazy part is it clearly still works from what people are commenting
Believe it or not, a lot of us are able to be mad about more than one thing at a time. This one just happens to be both exceptionally stupid, exceptionally visible, and easy to resist without having to advocate for violence.
what we have to resist here is the urge to engage with this sort of bullshit. the actual resistance is in ignoring this and focusing on what actually matters
Lol this is not resistance
Try unionizing or mutual aid. Hell even using open streetmaps is atleast something
“Resistance”
This will do nothing.
I don’t really understand why Google would care, tho.
It’s not like they are bound by a public vote or something, and you show them that you still use their Product .__.
As a way of managing disputed borders and names in other parts of the world, Google will present the official borders in the country that they are in and show the dispute in other countries. This keeps Google in good graces in all countries they operate in.
The US Federal Government has officially changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, so Google is implementing the same policy here.
Cool. I don’t sympathise at all. They could stand but they choose to bend a knee to tyrants. It’s no inconvenience to me to use alternatives to their products, as I’m sure it’s no inconvenience to them that I do so. It’s a peaceful solution all round.
You are asking a private company to decide national borders and names.
Boy are you insane
I’m sorry it’s shit like this that makes people not take anything you guys do or say seriously.
Submitting a report over a name change they didn’t choose and then tagging your post with “resist” is just pathetic.
Yes, the renaming of the Gulf is stupid. No, submitting a report that Google is going to ignore entirely isn’t “resisting” anything. It’s just a waste of your time and energy.
I keep seeing posts taking about how Trump and the right are “flooding the zone” with bullshit to distract everyone. This is exactly what they are talking about. You gotta stop taking the bait every single fucking time.
Petition to add an acute accent (México) and change the official pronounciation
All that will do is waste your time. Find something less petty that will make a difference,because this ain’t it.
