    You’re right. This is what we should be all consumed with, this is what we should be upset about.

    Not the billionaire pedophile child sex trafficking ruling class that bombs children and calls them terrorists instead of giving you healthcare, that’s trivial. What you should be upset about is the same government openly “renaming” a lake in the course of a trade war with their neighboring country.

    First of all, your priorities are stupid. Second of all, no, it’s literally not the plot of 1984. He never claimed “it was always lake America”, he just used the existing legal processes to rename it. It’s stupid, it’s perfectly legal, and it doesn’t change a single fucking thing about your life.

    Biden repeatedly lying about seeing beheaded children and spreading lies while having reporters dragged out of the press room for asking questions about him bypassing Congress to send billions in weapons to continue an active genocide is analogous to 1984. Trump raping and murdering kids and bombing Iranian school children while telling you you should be upset about trivial shit is analogous to 1984.

    If you read 1984 instead of just repeating that everything is 1984, you’d quickly realize what the renaming of a lake is analogous to: the lottery, pornography, alcohol, razor blade shortage, etc. there are plenty of distractions by the party that are meant to consume and emotionally absorb people so they don’t discuss actual problems, so they don’t organize, so they don’t change anything.

    Good luck.

    Edit: flock cameras are LITERALLY 1984. But you’re right, we should be upset he changed what the US government calls a lake. I’m sure you spend countless hours of your life thinking about the names of lakes, what they used to be, or how many names they’ve had over recorded history. I’m sure every time a lake was renamed it was literally 1984 and rewriting history.

    You know what was renamed to erase history? Palestine. They collected money from Americans to import European trees to literally hide over 500 destroyed villages and literally changed history books to say it was always Israel. Be upset about that, be upset that you’re still paying money for that.

    Lake Ontario/lake America doesn’t affect your life one fucking bit.
