minus-squarechuckleslord@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·23 天前Really? That’s why I got a down vote? Dude, my metaphor in the first comment was likening it to “if we (Americans) called First Nation land ‘Indialand’”. So, no. If you map the metaphor back onto to the counter, it’s the UK’s fault, not America’s.
