This meme is not that good, but can we take a moment to discuss how USA has taken America as it’s name? Being from the continent is weird, one country has gaslighted the rest of the world into thinking they are the owner of America’s name.
Imagine South Africa calling themselves just Africa and everyone just agrees, wtf?
Call it super-continent if it illustates better what I mean.
There is a clear intention on referring to your country with the name of the totality of the continent.
You know the history

Always has felt totally wrong. They have their own name, our ancestors forced another.
Not saying it isn’t somewhat strange, but the continent is North America, so it’s not actually the same.
