Don't think anyone has ever really disagreed on this
The disagreement is about who else sucks.
Americans don't all suck, America sucks.
We're a revolting people, always have been
We need to hear it. It needs to be pointed out at every opportunity.
This meme kind of missed the point. We're not just making fun of Americans
We're making fun of a very specific group of Americans
Same old same old. To be fair I think the average lemming knows US is bipolar, it's almost every 4 to 8 years you're remimded half of us have severe lead poisoning or something.
My first time with the Internet hate was Bush invading Iraq for no fucking reason, throwing us into recession and dragging others in by abusing NATO. I was in high school, not old enough to vote, and yet still had to apologize on behalf of assholes who aren't even in the same state as me for voting in a guy who was almost assassinated by a pretzel.
That reminded me of that flash game where you could press buttons on a Bush action figure to hear some bushisms (like "when we're talking about war, we're really talking about peace" and "there's an old saying in Texas, I know it's in Texas, probably Tennessee" and "peeance freeance"?) and there was one button to make him spit out a pretzel he was choking on. I tried to look it up but I can't find it :(
The anti-American circle jerk is irritating and a bit hypocritical. There are very few countries that haven't done fucked up shit, so that's where I think the hypocrisy comes in. However, I think the real damage is the division it grows. It draws lines by nationality instead of more helpful characteristics such as values, ideals, and goals. We all have a lot more in common than we have differences. I tend to believe that things could improve if we work together towards a common goal rather than going around stereotyping and placing blame. Personally, I don't think that an "us vs them" model is the best approach. We're all here in this together. Maybe we could work towards understanding, inclusion, collaboration, and interdependence while accepting and even celebrating each other's differences.
No but you don't understand. America is the worst country on the entire planet since the dawn of time!!!
