Google Changes Definition of "Bloodbath" Following Media 's Invented Scandal Over Trump Comments
Everyone who has ever used, heard, or read the word "bloodbath" knows it has multiple meanings. And thank goodness for that, since literal bloodbaths (like the one Hamas committed in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023) are far more rare than the figurative kind (like Google just committed against the word "bloodbath").
As you're probably aware, Democrats and the Mainstream Media (but I repeat myself) have spent the last several days trying to
convince the proles that when Donald Trump warned that a second Biden administration would lead to a figurative bloodbath against the U.S. auto industry, what he really meant was a literal bloodbath if Trump were to lose the election.
And Google is happy to help by scrubbing the internet of all but the literal definition of "bloodbath."
My first thought when I saw End Wokeness's tweet was to ask myself, "They couldn't possibly be that blatant, could they?"
"This is Google," was my second thought, "of course, they could be that blatant. I'd be shocked if they weren't."
Nevertheless, I briefly broke my boycott of All Things Google just long enough to check it out for myself. I use a solid VPN now (
AdGuard VPN, highly recommended) so Google would have no idea who I was.
Sure enough, Google now claims there's just one definition of "bloodbath."
Worse, Google is defrauding its users.
Google's online dictionary boasts that its results are courtesy of Oxford Languages. These are the same people who publish the Oxford English Dictionary, which has long been the gold standard. The first time I ever saw an OED, it was a massive tome resting on its own special pedestal near the center of my high school's library — aged and beautiful. I swear to you, the sun appeared to shine down upon it with a single beam that somehow penetrated the library's roof and ceiling.
But I digress.
If you go to the Oxford Languages website, you'll find — behind a paywall, sadly — that "bloodbath" has no fewer than four meanings.
Google now only shows you one and has the temerity to tell you that it is the only definition according to the gold standard authorities at Oxford.
you ever going to start charging me rent to live in your head?
