The Muddled Media Give "Name-Dropping" a New Meaning

Keep the traditional names everywhere. The famous philosopher Immanuel Kant was born there and never left there, so the name has an immense historical and cultural value.

Chick Magnet for the Sane Swedish Gretas

If Greta Thunberg got seduced in a Koenigsegg and wound up knocked up, would her baby be called a "Koenigsberg"?

8 out of 12 previous posts from you to keep this absurd Topic alive , Ze Bra . Like Nazi Winkle , aka Titwin .

Check out exactly what Moscow has put into Kalingrad and you will rapidly see that a place name change suddenly has less than zero interest . They can blow the world to pieces from that small enclave .

Translinguists

The changelings claim that they're only calling these countries what the natives themselves call them. But Germans don't whine about not being called "Deutschland"; the Greeks have called their country "Hellas" for 3,000 years, but they're not demanding we call it that.

Iran back to Persia
Iraq to Mesopotamia
Mumbai to Bombay
Kolkata to Calcutta
Sri Lanka (also unphonetic) to Ceylon
Myanmar to Burma
Thailand to Siam
Taiwan to Formosa

Since the Sick Sixties, this toxic ruling class has wanted to destroy the past or make it seem irrelevant with these uncalled-for name-changes and word-meaning changes. There is a method to its madness.
