    Truly, we care about the dumbest shit. Who cares what a military base is called? Even more, who cares if it’s named after some dudes who lost a war 160 years ago?

      Uh, the people who’s ancestors those ‘dudes’ fought to keep enslaved?

      The people who’s ancestors died, fighting those traitors?

      Idk, it’s not like the war was more than a handful of generations ago.

        The name of some place has literally zero real world impact on your life. I could not care less how my ancestors died.

        The fact that they’re renaming it back to what it was already called by just picking some other person with the same name really shows how little meaning any of it has.

        Why do you choose to be offended over something of so little consequence?
