So, we're different colors and we're different creeds
And different people have different needs
It's obvious you hate me, though, I've done nothing wrong
I've never even met you, so, what could I have done?
Who's hating who?
Are you talking about the renaming of the gulf? Maybe people don't like the renaming? It has nothing to do with hate.
I don't like most of the things that DT does, but does that mean that I hate him? No!
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you?
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through
It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth
Ahh a Bono fan :) one of my best friends has been to like 200 shows or something crazy. There's a little joke in DM land that we always get added to U2 groups 😆
Please don't just share on this forum. Tell your reps in DC what you think. Resist. It only takes a few minutes and best of all..it doesn’t cost any money.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople Been a long time gone,
Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it, I can't say People just liked it better that way.
Nice. But. New Amsterdam (which was only called that from 1624-64) was conquered by the British. Constantinople was conquered 1453 by the Ottomans (and officially renamed only in 1930).
In both cases, these were territorial takeovers and regime changes. In the case of Constantinople, however, even a fundamental religious and cultural transition only led to a change in the city's name after around 500 years.
I like pop cultural references and especially pop music (often enough, even if the lyrics are stupid...). But in this case and in this context, I think that chauvinistic and neo-colonialist behaviour is normalised.
That depends on the definition of the term conquest. As far as I know, New Amsterdam was not handed over to the English voluntarily in 1664, but under massive pressure. And later indeed, several territorial conflicts, including New Netherland, were settled with the Treaty of Breda in 1667.
Technically Turkey is now in fact Türkiye. However I absolutely agree the US has zero agency in renaming an international body of water which has had an agreed name for over 500 years.
It’s important to understand the audience. In the United States today there are about 50% of the population that need understand the difference. Those that have a false sense that the United States is infallible.
That has nothing to do with the fact that "America" has been a widely used colloquial term for the USA since before any of us were born, so the pedantic "America is actually multiple countries" is as unnecessary as it is inane.
What does that even mean? I guess one needs to be a young white man (the forgotten ones in your mind) to get it. Whatever. I beginning to think thought genes are passed down just like physical genes. Dems want to incld everyone, GOP only their own, Ind's only what they care abt & overlook the rest.
Will trump outlaw Cinco de Mayo celebrations in America next? And why do Americans celebrate this date when most of trump's base abhor Mexicans/Hispanics but love their margaritas & tacos?
Also true. It's amazing the number of people (and companies) losing their integrity and sense of morals to bend to the orange guy because of fear, but I guess that's the effect cult leaders have on people. Sad. Never thought I would see this in my lifetime, and definitely not in this country.
what's a travesty is it's been known for years and years and we never did anything about it.
In every moment there's the possibility of a better future, but you people won't believe it. And because you won't believe it you won't do what is necessary to make it a reality.
So, you dwell on this terrible future. You resign yourselves to it for one reason, because *that* future does not ask anything of you today. So yes, we saw the iceberg and warned the Titanic. But you all just steered for it anyway, full steam ahead

The European Sea. US and Russian shipping not welcome. For the Gulf States, go around Africa please. Still waiting for the EU to implement this most simple political leverage.

Especially those who voted for him who are losing their jobs and farms, family members being deported, losing snap and Medicaid.
Maybe it should be called The Gulf of American Tears!
Looks better than in real life, so...

What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand!
But there are a lot of those who are like us who can’t understand and don’t hate another. For that I am grateful.

White Christian Nationalists
White - hate everyone who is not White
Christian - hate everyone who is of any other faith.
Nationalists - hate everyone who you deem should not be in your country.
Communal hate - its like a club.

So appropriate for MAGA!!!
That has a certain ring to it, don't you think?

Now, let’s rename the Caribbean

That would send him over the edge.
Maybe we'll get lucky, and he'll have apoplexy.
No, thanks for playing.
Doesn't Gulf of America imply the north and south continents?
Plus, to him, America is the US which is why he wants to annex Canada (and Mexico, probably).
Love them too.
Or whatever the modern equivalent is.

The Gulf of Mexico was named Gulf of Mexico loooooong before the US even existed.
Many Americans think that America means the United States. But in actuality it’s a collection of countries of of which the United States is one of.
Trying to understand USA politics from afar!🙄
:(
I really wish Americans read international history. This isn't the first time this happened
It’s shameful.
It's pathetic, and people fall for it.
