This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

Google is full of lanyard wearing freaks that are only doing the rename in Maps because Trump's people filled out all the proper forms.
In the U.S., the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) has officially updated “Gulf of Mexico” to “Gulf of America.”

So this is just lanyard on lanyard violence
I suppose their options were: 1) do it, 2) quit, or 3) stand up to Sundar Pichai and never work in the industry again.
He was among the tech oligarchs at the inauguration last month.
zucc looks like he just remembered he didn't turn off his oven
he's thinking about the native hawaiian families he still has to evict so he can build his underground bunker complex for the climate apocalypse. everything in that previous sentence is true.
2 and 3 are not really viable and Google already had a policy in place for disputed territories. For example look at Kashmir, it gets rendered differently if you are in India vs Pakistan, so I mean Google employees just shrug and implement the same thing. If America wants to have a temper tantrum and call it the Gulf of America, like fine whatever, it's stupid, just mark it in the system as such and move on.
Google has far more serious topics that its employees should strike, and have struck over.
