Not wanting to defend google or any of the techbro vehicles, but it’s literally obeying the law in this case.

This is now on other countries to step up and enforce their nomenclature in accordance with historical use, in order to play this game and make these companies obey domestic requirements.

Imagine living in a year 2025 where some old soggy dipshit indulges in what is effectively larping as an imperialist. Remember those Mujahideen/freedom fighters/terrorists who opposed ‘american imperialism’? Guess they will pull a smug face now.

I am no friend of china’s internal policies and am of course under no illusion that the CCP does this solely because of humanist motivation, but a maniac in the White House obviously means the rest of the world has to rethink their geopoliticies.

Keep in mind that might not be that easy, depending on if the services are provided by an EU subsidary or directly overseas.

It is a lack of understanding and communication, most certainly. That goes both ways of course.

I do. This is about a lack of properly traditioning masculinity.

You might not like to hear this but the media is far from innocent of building the image of young, struggling men being prone to violence and not being trustworthy while it also still fuels the imagery of the older, tough as nails ‘hero’ they wish to become but are not allowed to.

Even if the Trump administration is not compliant, the alternative would be approval of this coup d'etat.

I am a bit confused. This is JD Vance we talk about. He called Trump ‘Hitler’ on TV. And betrayed his position the second he got approached with the vice presidency. He pushed the ‘Haitians eat your pets’ story. Of course he is complicit. Not just by inaction or muted approval. HE IS PART of the racket.

While the article is right to point this out, compare that to the amount of people who potentially could have but did not vote. Abstaining from casting your vote IS silent approval of the outcome.
