I'm passing this survey about names for the co-op to some friends... and every time they face a non-English sounding name... they all say this same phrase (with small variations):
> It doesn't sound **international** enough / at all.
Honestly... I find it quite sad. I know ultimately it doesn't matter what I think personally, we still need a good & catchy name (it's not in our hands to make people think differently)...
Anyway, I believe UK & American #imperialism have fucked our brains and removed so much creativity & freedom from our minds...
Note: this issue is disconnected from the specific names of our survey. I've seen it too with names of very successful projects (but unknown to the people I was talking to); for example with "Kubernetes".

The USA is already in the process of seizing Greenland. #imperialism

This is probably the last nail in the coffin for trust in international laws for years to come, I'm afraid.

A taste of "empires and vassal states" for boomers and later generations:

U.S. imperialism: different branding, same payload.

A two-panel political meme showing a military bomber dropping bombs. The top panel is labeled “REPUBLICANS” and shows a plain bomber releasing bombs. The bottom panel is labeled “DEMOCRATS” and shows a similar bomber with a rainbow-striped tail and slogans like “Black Lives Matter” and “Yes We Can,” also dropping bombs, implying a comparison between the two parties using identical imagery.

My #speculation: #Venezuela for oil, #Greenland for oil and rare earths, #Brazil for land and human resource, #Gaza for land. All to benefit crypto and big tech, and of course personal enrichment. 🤑
BTW African countries beware. ⚠️
