Mali and Burkina Faso banned Americans a few days ago. What with Maduro’s kidnapping, it looks like that decision payed off in more ways than they might have anticipated!

        America is a continent not a country, calling USians americans is legitimizing their conquer of America

          As does using an Italian’s name for the inhabitants of this continent. America is most certainly not a continent. It is a colonial project.

                Of course! I would never seriously suggest puritanica. It was a terribly weak joke though my apologies
