I think that changing a word does not make any difference, actions make difference I live in a dictartorship and for over 5 years I used to work under conditions you could consider enslaving earning under 5$ per month for 13 hours of work while I was learning how to code and got my first job with a cheap laptop. I believe that if we can take actions to help people who live under real circumstances of slavery, we could make a difference, not changing the name of our branches for god sake

It's not an either-or thing.

People can "take actions to help people who live under real circumstances of slavery" and change their branch names to something less inflammatory and more descriptive.
