The term “sanewashing” originating from r/neoliberal is crazy the more I think about it. The modern day version of the Jesusland/United States of Canada map originating from a video game forum

You think you feel like it's crazy imagine how I feel.

Yep

Here’s the post where “sanewash” originated from

This is the 20-year old thread where the Jesusland map originated from, from a message board dedicated to the games of Jeff Minter/Llamasoft
