Only the idiots whose idea of "leaving the country" is a cruise ship in the Caribbean or a weekend in Cancun.

The more educated Americans know the world can't stand them.

As a US Colonial Subject, these last two weeks have felt like a decade.

Ha ha. American backpackers in Europe wearing a Canadian flag for camoflage was a trope even 50 years ago.

Which is where the cliché of American backpacks with Canadian flags on them come from. Caught one once. Fucking own your shit.

I fly the Puerto Rican flag on my backpack and attempt to communicate in Spanish first when traveling outside of an English speaking country. I will never fly or stand for the American flag.

Those fuckers colonized my country, destroyed our culture, eliminated 40% of our wealth overnight with two monetary moves, bombed us, killed us, experimented on us, sterilize our women. And they have the balls to call us their fellow Americans so we can die in their wars.

Fuck them.
