    I’m sorry it’s shit like this that makes people not take anything you guys do or say seriously.

    Submitting a report over a name change they didn’t choose and then tagging your post with “resist” is just pathetic.

    Yes, the renaming of the Gulf is stupid. No, submitting a report that Google is going to ignore entirely isn’t “resisting” anything. It’s just a waste of your time and energy.

    I keep seeing posts taking about how Trump and the right are “flooding the zone” with bullshit to distract everyone. This is exactly what they are talking about. You gotta stop taking the bait every single fucking time.

      Any suggestions on how I could have spent those 15 seconds more effectively? Serious question, would prefer to be resisting with greater impact.

        Sometimes resisting requires more than 15 seconds of your time.

        If you are serious, look closely at how you spend your money. Look at what companies make/sell you shit and then take your money and give it to the fascist regime. This can be done with a quick Google search or using an app (GoodsUniteUs seems to be ok, hopefully someone can recommend another).

        You don’t have to give up your car, cell phone, flat screen TV, etc. Just check one or two items in your grocery cart each trip. Maybe you can spend thirty cents more to buy from a company that doesn’t have a history of financing the craziest of the Republican party.

        As you start making small changes it’ll be easier to just stop supporting them out of habit.
