It's really awesome when a group from a foreign country and a foreign religion gets a dictate how I as an American I'm allowed to purchase legal products in my nation.

I don't like it either and they're from my country. I also don't like when America exports its bullshit either, mind you.

It's really awesome when the whole world has to stop using master / slave nomenclature because one country has ugly past.

  1. not just one country. 2) this is different because no one actually made anyone do that. That I know of, no company was going around threatening to cancel services if other companies didn't stop using the term, and certainly no one large and critical. A social pressure to change a word is different from a financial pressure to remove a product.

Uhhhhh…you need to read a history book. Like literally any history book would help you.

I am not talking about the slavery but about the nomenclature. Only one country had a problem with its use in technology and we all had to change.

That's a really weird off-topic hill to die on

And also ignorant and outright stupid? Like only America had slaves or participated in the Triangle Trade, lmao.

Honestly I just wanted to call them out for being shitty in a way that might bite without putting effort into it, because trolls be trollin
