    Their flair for supporting LatAm anti-american groups has caused them to pick up the LatAm chip on the shoulder that nobody else uses “America” to refer to the whole of North and South America like they do, and instead use it to specifically denote the US.

      Oh right, I’ve seen that before. It’s just a culture/language barrier thing, like pretty much everyone who speaks English uses American for the US, but it’s different in a lot of Spanish speaking countries. Funny that it also stems from an anti-American place though. Those folks seem exhausting.
