  • There’s also United States of Brazil.

    But you’ve got “Mexican” and “Brazilian” for both of those countries that include United States in their proper names.

    I’d continue to say “United statean” in Spanish because that’s an accepted name in the Spanish language. There’s no confusion to what country you’re referring to.

    But in English it is a lost battle. If you mean to include people from the entire continent, you’d have to say “American, as in the continent”.

    Edit: The current official name of Brazil is Federative Republic of Brazil.


  • I couldn’t have said it better.

    You have dictatorships you would not identify stereotypically as fascist, yet they silence anyone dangerous by calling them a fascist. Oldest trick in the book.

    A very simple test: A f*ing fascist could use the same comic to justify repressing communists in a fascist regime. It just has to replace those “fascists” believes by communist ones.
