I do think it’s a downstream issue of feeling like artistic work has to be a political treatise rather than authentic personal expression. We make something that says something when we dig down into our own experiences, not when we just loudly broadcast sentiment we think others share.

It’s the A in USA. We shorten Republic of Korea to Korea too. Or would you prefer we refer to them as ROians?

People refer to themselves based on the nation they come from. There is only one nation called America, the rest are continents and continental regions. You are way too online
