I could repost this every day for the next three and a half years and it would still hold true

Not really.
- true. could post it for last 250 and next 250. the us is the worst nation in the history of the world.
  
  I just meant that America feeling like the center of the world's criticisms isn't the same as them being the center of the world's criticisms.
  Really the rest of the world has said they're the worst during the Iraq invasion and subsequent tortures, and then there was a big gap, and now that same sentiment of "America is doing the worst thing right now" has only just been coming back recently (with the rise of Trumpian Fascism).
  ...so it's mostly when America shows its fascism that the world makes this complaint. Bush and Trump were both unprecedentedly bad times, and both on the right Republican side. The world had a point both times.
  ....but generally the rest of the world is off doing its own bad things, with huge gaps between saying America is doing "the worst thing right now".
  
  i understand. however I, and know this is simply anecdotal, have thought for it’s entirety the US has been doing the worst it can in every epoch and been ranked “worst” in every one as well.
  
  I don't think so, they've had fairly high transparency on most pf their elections, have a gopd numeracy and literacy rate, much of the protection of right has been pretty good outside of the enforcement side and some of the Children's rights issues (eg. Marriage laws and the private Child punishment industries).
  I think most of the time they've been much better than most theocracies and authoritarian states. The US has had some prison labour but no where near as bad as say the Saudi system of slavery.
  The US has bad patches, but they're far from the worst. Political freedoms there have mostly veen good up until recently.
  
  Has had “some” prison labor? Dude. We had a war internally over this and some alive want to go back to slavery era rules.
  
  I really don't think you can convert this Simpsons meme to being about the history of the US throughout all time (seems to be about the modern digital global, post 24 hour news cycle period of humanity we're currently in, I mean, it's an internet meme, so globalization and the Internet are the bounds of it)...
  I think people like you, who get into this large political arguments with a totalistic "this debate in the comments will sort out the truth for all time" over a modern day meme are lame and stupid. It's just such a stupid game to be playing.
  "This Simpsons meme is a commentary on the rest of the world's view of America during the civil war" is just - a stupid take in my opinion.
  
  Oh? What amazingly wonderful country do you hail from?
  
  the US, lol.
  
  🤣
