  • I kind of get the whole 'Gulf of America’s, at least conceptionally, America is the continent yada yada yada, it’s fine, it’s silly but fine.

    But the Mount McKinley stuff is really baffling to me. Afaik McKinley never even visited Alaska during his presidency, alaskans themselves tried to change the name since at least the 1980s and the only thing that stood in the way was Ohio, as McKinleys home state, blocking the name change, until in 2015 they eventually relented and the name was changed back to its original indigenous name.

    Why would they change it arbitrarily again? I don’t understand? Is it just racism and it by chance happened during Obama’s presidency?












  • Nope, not what we were talking about mate. Op said:

    That’s not outrage being directed at the perpetrator, it’s outrage being directed at an entire demographic of people of which the perpetrator happens to belong.

    You said :

    It’s not in the article, it’s in the comment you were replying to. What am I missing?

    So don’t try to move the goalposts just because you talked shit, I’m sick of this bullshit.

    We were talking about why a, admittedly monstrous, rapist needs to be used to demonize a whole demographic. You pretended like that wasn’t in the article, I proved it was, that is the fucking conversation we’re having here.
