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.

              Tell that to the redditor types constantly making US vs europe comparisons. It’s either a monolith or it’s not, not just when it’s convenient.
