I was scrolling through top/day, and all the memes are criticizing America. Oil memes and stuff like that. Why is that (not the memes in themselves, but the near unanimousness of the themes)?

      The “america bad” people have a point. The “america bad, Europe good” people are delusional. The US would have to last another 3000 years to even come close to the atrocities committed by Europeans.

          I thought someone might go that route, so I came prepared. Even if we ignore Russia (located in Asia but absolutely culturally European) europeans have been responsible for no less than 6 genocides in the last hundred years.

    I don’t really know, but I enjoy the topical rants we go on, whether it’s beans, stroganoff or whatever - it’s fun.

    The oil shit has mostly been on point though

    I thought most of them were from the same guy. One or two were mildly funny, but posting basically the same joke a dozen times in a row is arguably not how to make it shine. Also, a couple people might have heard the ol’ “DAE le USA le oil eggs dee” before.

      When I first noticed the memes, I looked at the account making them and it was less than a day old. I just figured they had an axe to grind or it was an election season bot and blocked the account, lol.

    It’s probably that one nazbol guy who spams crappy “left” memes who I blocked awhile ago because i’m not seeing anything like that.

    EDIT: I also have LW and HB instance blocked (as i’m banned from both) which probably has a lot to do with it as well.

    USA does bad things

    Some people make memes about it

    People in the USA:

    Let’s make our country accountable for bad thing it does

    What’s happening? My fee fees are hurt.

    Or the most popular:

    We don’t even think about your country

    Then they call others snowflakes. ㄟ(ツ)ㄏ
