Are there other ways to refer to someone born in the U.S. besides "American"?

So, I got questioning myself, if there wasn't other ways of calling someone who born in USA without being the word "american"

I saw this thing growing a lot in Latam, people in Brazil going from "americanos" to begin saying "estadunidenses", in hispanic countries being the same, and the classic word "gringo" for both spanish and portuguese too

With that, I began thinking, how about in english language? Tbh it sounds weird saying "unitedstatesian" for an example. So, in english vocabulary, is there any other word than "american"?

Honest question, and what about military matters?

A sincere question, and about military matters? In other words, do some militants need to know about military strategy?

I know that revolution (specially in my country, Brazil) is still far from happening, but if it did occur, there would have to be militants with military knowledge, right?

For example, in the October Revolution, as soon as it happened, the Civil War started. Lenin stopped being just a revolutionary theorist and had to deal with military matters, he went from being a political leadership and an intellectual to a military leader (along with others like Trotsky and Stalin)

In China, Mao had to have military knowledge and strategies for the Civil War to the revolution succeed (and also for the concept of "Protracted People's War", to do that you need to understand how the battlefield works, guerrilla strategies for the movement survive)

In Yugoslavia and Albania, Tito and Hoxha couldn’t just know revolutionary theory, they had to know how to conduct guerrilla warfare to hold off the Nazis

Even in the Cuban Revolution, although it was nationalist in its early stages, they needed to know how to execute successful guerrilla campaigns. Che Guevara couldn’t just read Marx and Lenin, he had to know how to lead guerrillas

In Vietnam, it goes without saying

With all of this, this question appears for me, even though we are far from any revolution, what about military issues? Military strategies? Or am I thinking way too ahead? I'm saying this because, this sense, if it’s true but few militants have this knowledge, then a successful revolution would only be possible if the movements could co-opt the military, from soldiers to captains to colonels

Dúvida sincera, e sobre questões militares?

Sei que uma revolução brasileira está bem longe de chegar, mas se ocorrer, teriam que ter militantes com conhecimento militar, não?

Exemplo da Revolução de Outubro, assim que ocorreu a Guerra Civil começou, Lenin deixou de ser apenas um teórico revolucionário e teve que arcar com questões militares, deixou de ser uma liderança política e um intelectual e virou um líder militar (junto de outros como o Trotsky e Stalin)

Na China o Mao teve que ter conhecimento militar e estratégias para que a Guerra Civil tenha sucesso (e tbm para a própria questão da "guerra popular prolongada", pra fazer isso tu precisa de conhecimento de como funciona o campo de batalha, conhecimento de estratégias de guerrilhas para o movimento sobreviver)

Na Iugoslávia e Albânia o Tito e o Hoxha não podiam só saber sobre teoria revolucionária, eles tinham que saber como fazer guerrilhas para tankar os nazistas

Até na Revolução Cubana, msm que de cunho nacionalista no início, eles precisaram ter conhecimento de como realizar guerrilhas bem sucedidas. Che Guevara não podia só ler Marx e Lenin, ele tinha que saber como liderar guerrilhas

No Vietnã nem se fala

Com tudo isso, essa pergunta aparece mesmo que estejamos bem longe de alguma revolução, e enquanto a questão militar? estratégias militares? Ou eu to pensando pra frente pra caralho? No quesito de que se for assim, então só será possível se os movimentos conseguirem cooptar os militares

Ainda quero ler esse livro, mas pelo que sei Lênin vai fazer uma crítica ao dogmatismo e sectarismo dentro do movimento comunista, criticando quem rejeita alianças com outros grupos, disputa de sindicatos reacionários, participação de eleições burguesas (e até participação no congresso) por falarem que são "desvios burgueses/revisionistas", chamando essa rejeição de frentes uma infantilidade

Tbm pelo que sei é aqui que Lênin vai defender nesse livro que os comunistas devem ocupar todos os espaços possíveis, onde for possível ocupar espaço e chamar gente para o movimento, ocupe

O livro é sobre isso mesmo? O que acham dessa obra?

I followed Vtubers for a time last year, and a lot of them had their own OC with their own lore and universe

but something that I began to think is that, do they develop that universe and lore that they created?

I began thinking that after I saw a brazilian Vtuber (DanteWill) making a whole ARG and a fun story with his/her character and his universe, creating an antagonist that appeared once in a while in shorts and videos (and that antagonist even appeared in other peoples' channels), and it had one video that concluded the story, which ended up as one of the most famous videos of the channel (it was simple but fun). And that's something that I like, people telling a story

With that in mind, I began thinking if there were other Vtubers that did something similar, it can be just my impression or lack of following these days (and following just certain niches), but I always felt that Vtubers create their characters and lore but it just end in that, they don't explore it deeper and just stay on streaming, while the universe stays barely touched

I'm not saying that people NEED to do that, and I know that there must be Vtubers that actually develop the universe and lore, and it would be really fun to see things like that. Or i'm just out of date in that subject lol (if I am, please warn)

In short, can you guys reccomend Vtubers that explore their own universe? Or am I just out of date?
