We've been at this shit for 200 years and we haven't even been able to fix our shit. You'd expect at least one of us could, but nope. The Americans bullies, and we can't even blame them for it. We're the backyard of the planet. We're a third wheel in the international scene. You'd think we'd be independent in some way, but even mentally we are second fiddle. We use the economics of other countries, the ideologies of other countries, there's nothing for us to call our own except embarrassments like football and cocaine. We're the NGMI continent.
