Havent you heard, stealing the worlds gold during the Bretton Wood system and then forcing countries to adopt USD so that they can export their inflation makes them the good guys.

I'm sure the EU will impose sanctions on the US for the actions of this administration, like they did with Russia. They wouldn't want to appear hypocritical, after all.

Instructions unclear, EU condemns Iran for defending itself.

I feel like there has to be a better word for forcefully impregnating someone

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

If you're looking for the word "rape", rape doesn't mean to necessarily impregnate, but to just penetrate.

You can rape someone without any intention or action of trying to impregnate.

its real name is Turtle Island btw

[–] folaht@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

That would be for North America,
but I disagree considering where the name America likely came from,
not Albericus Vespucci, but from a Mayan mountainous region named Amerrisque,
"land where the wind blows constantly" and perhaps combined with the Spanish word "rica/rich",
because those mountains were rich with gold at that time.

And I think that name is more fitting than 'Turtle Island' to be honest.
North America has a lot of hurricanes and tornadoes.
And it's rich with resources.

South America needs a rename though.

[–] libre_warrior@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It is perhaps descriptive, but America is a name that comes from colonizers. We should honor indigenous peoples by using their name for the continent.

Regarding south america, I wouldnt know what to call it.

Mayans lived in South America. Here Im speaking about [North America]/ Turtle Island.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Hate to be the akshually guy for such an easy fact, but Maya lived and still live in North America

[–] libre_warrior@lemmy.ml 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, my bad.

I dont know what mayans would think about that. What do you think they would think about that?

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

No idea. I just want to note that the most widespread indigenous languages still in use in North America are Nahuatl and Mayan laguages so if indigneous people were to vote on it they would probably have a lot to say about it.

[–] libre_warrior@lemmy.ml 1 points 15 hours ago

They might have important things to say about this matter.

Just to make my thinking clear; I view words and names as objects of challenge. If we can argue why we prefer a naming over another, then we should be allowed to use that naming. But that doesnt mean that the naming cant change again. We shouldnt be certain that a word is beyond critique, because oftentimes we cant guarantee it. It is better to swap out words on gut feeling, so that we luminate our view of the world. This will enable us to be challenged on our conceptions and be more open minded.

Americans: How dare you say death to America! You're the real problem with the world!
