America is such a fucking joke it's no longer funny. I wish we could isolate the rest of the world from your madness but unfortunately we can't.
As a Native American this attitude would be a lot more understandable and palatable if America wasn’t colonized…
I totally understand your sentiment. Undoubtedly the USA is built on stolen land, much like Israel.
All of history is one people taking over another peoples land. I'm not saying its right, but in virtually any part of the world there is a history of some invader or colonizer coming in and displacing or swallowing up the existing people, probably multiple times, down through prehistory as well.
