Apathy fits your wit.
"English" bird names, "Offensive or Exclusionary" to change.

One of the appropriate complaints about the modern left is a complete lack of prioritization of issues that actually need our attention. It is sad to see the right follow them down the dim rabbit hole of caring about bird names. I don’t care about bird names. Wake me up when we need to save Mount Rushmore.
Also, even though I think all this name changing stuff is silly and distracts us from real issues, I do make an exception for confederate politicians and officers (the enlisted men were pawns/canon fodder so I give them a pass). They all should have been hung for treason without mercy and none should have any building, place or monument named for them. And that’s not a modern take by me. I got in trouble in the 70s for staking the same position with my good old boy southern history teacher in middle school.

You’re misconstruing tolerance for apathy
Yeah! Now if we could just get them damn losers of the civil war to shut up and stop trying to tell us how we should be running our country, maybe we all would be little better off.
That's sarcasm, but it does speak to your point.

Clearly tracker believes we should remove the traitor flag from state buildings, tear down all the statues, and change all the street names.

Just keeping you company buddy
I have one question, then I'll let y'all get back to whatever this is now.
How the #*^@#* do you mercifully hang someone?
No worries VG, it's inclusive.But I can still have apathy right, I don't have to choose do I, I like apathy
Your tolerance befits apologies.

Broken neck v. Strangulation
I guess, if we're gonna be all Grand Theft Auto about it.
Oh Benny, Benny, Benny...
If you held the choice to be hung ... Wait, when did Peter North join the topic?
Grammar is important, my good friend.
I am well hung,
But the proper term for all short stops from a long drop w/a rope around your neck is always hanged.

short rope vs long rope - read about it
But actually was meaning no pardons offered or excuses accepted.
If it doesn't hang, you might mistaken whether you're really hung, Ben. Grammar is important...
This is why guys with ample girth don't fear the hangman. Short rope - we still die quick.
Long rope - our head pops off and we become absolute $*)Q!#@$ legends.

Bird names on the docket for 2024:
Say's phoebe.
Cooper's hawk.
Steller's jay.
Clark's grebe.
Baird's sandpiper.
Wilson's snipe.
Lincoln's sparrow.
Sprague's pipit.
Apathy or tolerance, your pick. Rationalize for the win/loss.
If it makes a white, black, yellow, brown person feel better while birding with their Steiners... let the merry go round.
The DEIJ movement is another thing that white people have learned about from others, and decided it's their thing now.
Performative action is better than real action. That way you can still hit pilates before you pick up Kayden and Attyson.

Sad part is folks likely care more about the names than if any of these birds went extinct.
