Visited there last year, but the meme is lying. There is a trail directly to the top of the rock, but it's unofficial and somewhat dangerous to climb on top. Awesome hike, though

Isn't this an euphemism on imperialism?

"Oh look that mountain that is sacred to its native population. We'll call it Mt. Everest/Rushmore/Trump"

it's "hey that rock looks a lot like a cartoon character beloved by basically everyone on earth", not sure why you'd bring euphemism and imperialism into it?
