Ametica is a continent, not a country.
No need to mute a whole continent, home of 35 nations registered at the UN.
A larger diversity in culture, politics and economics than e.g. you find among the nations in Europe.
And yet people throw this multitude of nations into one big bag? Confuse a large country with all of the continent? It is like talking of "Europe" and only meaning "Greece" (originator of the name). Or "Germany" (largest economy).
Or the other way around: if a German or Greek would equal his country with the whole (sub)continent... we'd correctly point this out as hybris. Or nationalism.
So: Let's not mute America! America != USA
Actually let's not mute anything if our reasoning capabilities are weak insofar as we don't even use terms that clearly distinguishes entities.
