When you say somethin like “America had had more than one mass shooting on average last year”, you annoy most Americans, who dont have these problems that are specific to the US.
Most people are able to infer—by context—that someone saying “America” means US if the topic is the US. They are—to some extent—colloquially interchange, given context. I just didn’t say it myself because it isn’t normal nor natural here. Again, sorry to everyone hung up on my phrasing because it’s a non-issue as far as I’m concerned. Call yourselves and think of yourselves as whatever you want. You have my blessing and approval.
Honestly, I’m indifferent about it. I’m not a nationalist. Call yourselves whatever you want.
Its not about Nationalism. Its about geography.
