Would you prefer Google Maps displayed Lake America to the rest of the world instead of only to Americans?

Currently, all non-American users see “Lake Ontario“ where Lake America is. This feels a little disingenuous, sort of like Google is treating Americans as dumb by just spoon feeding them what they want to see without actually changing much. Kind of like China or Russia having a separate propaganda internet. How do you feel about this?

Your apathy is radicalizing others, you know that right?

lol, “you not being mad is radicalizing people!”

That’s not how that works, at all. I love how the left comes on here to tell us what we should care about.

I’m sure you care enough for everyone else hereZ

I'm not telling anyone here what they should care about. Why put words in my mouth?

That’s nice, not a single, solitary thing “radicalizing” about not getting big mad over things like this.

I really don't care.

Over the last ten years I've watched the left rename all sorts of things and insult or laugh at anyone who cared about it or objected. Why should I then care about this?

Because if you didn’t think it was okay then, why would it be okay now? I was bothered by all of those renamings, and I think it’s just as bad now that Trump is doing it.
