      Don’t even talk to me until I’ve had my “nineteen of the same joke back to back” in the morning

      Just having 8 of them being spammed on the page at once. I’ll say they were funny, and I’m american. But it quickly became spammy. At least spread them out over a few days

          It’s funny when it’s different people organically and creatively jumping on the trend. Not so much when it’s the same meme over top of different pictures, posted by the same person

        If its got an interesting turn I don’t mind it. But sure, reposts are annoying.

        Funny thing is other Americans already picked up the talking point ^^^

      Similar to the butthurt posts from Europeans who must continue their America bad fetish and feed their superiority complex.

          Loving a country is different than loving the government itself. Also, most countries have been “imperialistic” at some point in their history. Europe is a perfect example of some of the most vile imperialism that has occurred.

            Europe has been the worst, us is currently the worst. That’s exactly my point.

            With Imperialism and colonialism on this scale, everything is interwoven with the ideology.

            What to love about the country? The cultural tradition with its slavery and natives abuse?

            The present state with mass homelessness, that CIA who breaks every human right I’m the book? The propaganda, war and regime changes?

            You can’t decouple something in the country from the rest.

            Maybe you like Meaningless feel good pop songs, but they exist and are popular because of the above. Maybe you like some food, but you can’t divide that from the fact that Americans die from obesity while in the rest of the world people starve.

            Imperialism has swallowed everything and integrated it into the system, that’s how it works.

            Loving a national state can’t be pure, because national Staates cant be pure

    Or, you know, block the single user posting what seems to be bothering you so much, and get on with your life?

    Seriously, imagine feeling the need to, and then taking the time to make a meme about another random user on the internet whose content you don’t like, and thinking you somehow have any high ground in this pathetic scenario… 🤯🤦‍♀️😂

      Let’s be specific, NOT_RICHARD is that user.

      Funny enough, even though the memes are pretty stupid, the discussion on them are interesting.

    Just change it up once in a while

    That’s what the memes are trying to achieve!

    If only Americans cared about America being bad as much as they care about memes calling America bad. 😂
