This is pathetic and reeks of insecurity big time. Hope that this debacle improves your QoL, Americans.
American here. It's freaking embarrassing. Not as much as all the other shit, and certainly not as sad and tragic. Our neighbors elected a cartoon villain and his best buddy, another cartoon villain.
reeks of insecurity big time.
No, it's literally the opposite, it's a display of power and support for an openly fascist regime they KNOW will benefit them financially.
It's the epitome of capitalism, and precisely why said capitalism will always decay in to fascism.
What's funny is the rest of the world gets "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" which ups the insecurity I expect.
Seems like all the high-visibility, internet-focused corporations are rushing forward to bend the knee.
I guess it would be pretty interesting to see one of them do the opposite. As in, how easily and quickly would the exec and other branches be able to attack them, maybe even to destroy them?
Eh I'm on the opposite side, despite being a massive lefty. Why would an american company not follow an American dictate just for America? (It's still called the Gulf of Mexico on Google in every other country) It sets a wild precedent where private businesses refuse to follow the fairly inconsequential requests of their government.
"I'm such a massive lefty, I see no issue with a mega corporation bending the knee to a fascist regime and helping them virtually take over territory that isn't theirs" 🙄
(also no, it isn't only showing in the states, and this being an expected part of capitalism doesn't make it any less of a problem to be taken seriously)
The Mexican president asked for the US to be called Mexico Americana or something like that. I haven't seen if google complied yet, but if they don't, would you support them not?
