Americans can't free, apparently. Breaking: language doesn't work.

Someone has decided that the entire English language lacks a fundamental word that English speakers use constantly and have used for centuries. This is the kind of confidently incorrect geopolitical observation that only emerges from someone who's spent too long in certain corners of the internet convincing themselves they've discovered a hidden truth about Western civilization. It's not clever, it's not true, but it's definitely the energy of someone who thinks they're way smarter than they actually are.
