Google now thinks it can alter the definition of words.

Google thinks it can alter words to fit it's socialist agenda....

Not happening!

patriotic
Patriotic and unpatriotic are words that carry so much emotional baggage that they should be used only after considerable reflection. A patriot loves his homeland and is willing to defend it against enemies. But these days patriotic often implies a blustery, unthinking, my country-right-or-wrong nationalism. As people used to say in the 1960s, the word has been co-opted and has become a crude means of provoking an almost Pavlovian twitch response. For example, if you don't agree with whatever the United States undertakes, especially in foreign affairs or military operations, you may be vilified as unpatriotic, i.e., cowardly, unworthy of being an American, and possibly traitorous. Yet turn around and the flag-wavingly patriotic are pitied as little more than dupes of the government or victims of jingoistic brainwashing. Furthering the confusion, every extremist cadre in the world employs the rhetoric of patriotism to recruit its members and maintain their allegiance. Thus, to some a patriot suggests a crude and belligerent fanatic, while to others he is a loyal-to-the-death defender of his country's traditions and values. Sometimes only God can distinguish the one from the other. Whatever the case, patriotic and unpatriotic are always fighting words, and usually bullying ones too.

In prog world, patriotism = bad. Hating your country = good. And everyone who doesn't agree with them is a dumb racist. Progs are geniuses at campaign strategy.

Yeah, nothing bad ever happens in the name of patriotism, only lots of good things, like rainbows, unicorns, and warm fuzzies.

Right, and only good comes from hating your country? This is what I mean, people. Don't vote for these slugs. They want to destroy your country.

the issue with this for me is that a corporation literally changing the definition of a word to push political agenda. what agenda or if you agree with it is irrelevant. corporate overlords indeed

Orrrr: one could always check out an actual, ya know: dictionary site, for example.
But nooo: Google is evil, trying to steer clueless chumpfdirts away from their warped version of patriotism.
Belief in the absolute infallibility of their tangerine traitorous messiah is patriotism.
All else: is not.......
duuhhh.........

do you go out of your way to be a dick? as I said, if you can be bothered to be a human being for a moment, it isnt about where you stand on the politics. put your political ranting and petty insults aside for a moment and think big picture. maybe this will help. imagine faux having this power? you think it is bad now?

they sourced data from oxford in the past and indexed it on their servers for the 'google' word lookup. this didn't come from search results. why are you being so condescending?

anyhow editing data is a single statement if you have access. this isn't even a search result in the true sense. people been fired from google in the past for this sort of thing. bets on it being one employee behind it

"imagine faux having this power?"
Ummm: they already do diddleme. They are, to all effects and purposes a defacto state sponsored pigaganda bot spam media outlet. Period
They utterly control the thoughts and opinions of chumpflandia sheepies.
Maybe direct your fakes news bias outrage towards them. Or blightfart. Or national review. Or lush pillbaugh.
Or alex jones. Or.....etc etc.

Either way, the stealth Republican shit ain't working.
