i think one big problem with the united states is that they forgot to name the country
take mexico for example that's A name. Colombia is a name. Canada. United States of America is a description.
like argentina is the united provinces of the bla bla but the name is argentina you know
I'll do one last addition and that's it. for everyone saying "50 countries in a trench coat" yea i get it but why do you guys act like you're the only ones with that issue other countries have the same shit going on and they still have a name that's very annoying and self centered of you.
also everyone saying"the name's america" I'll kill you no me gusta que me jodan a mi.
I wish people would stop being purposely obtuse when it comes to America. Everyone knows that within context the damn country is just fucking "America". When a European refers to "American tourists" they're not talking about fucking Brazilians or Candaians. Get the fuck over it already and just call it AMERICA like everyone else.
"Along the way we have even lost the right to call ourselves Americans, although the Haitians and the Cubans appeared in history as new people a century before the Mayflower pilgrims settled on the Plymouth coast. For the world today, America is just the United States; the region we inhabit is a sub-America, a second-class America of nebulous identity."
