Canada weighing in. It's now "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" for us.

Fucking Nazis at Google should die in a fire of their own white robes.

It is for UK users too. Quite honestly the most pathetic, embarrassing example of telling on yourself I've seen for some time.

History will remember the names of the appeasers.

Same in Portugal, only in Portuguese. Fucking cowards!

Dude I think I need to leave this country. Pretty much nobody with money or power seems to really be aware that all this stuff is dangerous, or reacting to it any way but with agreement.

Bah, even if you are not living in the U.S., you will have to deal with the BS of the newly self declared world king. He's threatening to invade half the planet anyway.

Otherwise, do you have suggestions of where your orange majesty might ignore?

Yeah. He might start a nuclear war. Or, he might simply collapse the pitiful number of good things the US does on the world stage, while vastly increasing the cruelty and death for anyone who is the "other" inside the United States, and it seems horrible to turn my back on all of them just to save my skin. Or, in the absence of the US on the world stage, all kinds of shit might kick off, and it's almost impossible to say that any particular place will definitely be spared from it.

Maybe somewhere in coastal South America, or New Zealand, might be nice. Somewhere far enough from everything important that it's possible to just hunker down. Also, close to the poles is a good idea, and near to the mountains, everything else might have all kinds of crazy shit happen to it soon.

Somewhere, there is a science fiction story about some farmers in South America and their perception of a nuclear war that is happening in a place that is separate from them. They're far from unaffected, but their lives are able to continue with some modifications without a major disruption. Their concerns are still about neighbors, harvest, and their own public life in the village. Purely because they weren't in an important place.

Once I figure out where I'm going, sure. I have no idea, TBH.

Mt McKinley will always be Denali and the Gulf will always be the Gulf of Mexico from where I'm standing

Google replaces Neville Chamberlain as the face of appeasement.
