This is literally the point of The Boys. What if normal greedy people held the power, what would that look like if they were superpowered.
Europe: “Why do Americans hate natives and black people?” after raping Africa for its resources.
Unlike Americans, Europeans would never create systematic forms of oppression… except with migrants, and Arabs, and Romas, and Samis, and other Europeans.
Didn’t USA come up with both characters? One in the 1930s and one now? More of a sign of the times I say.
Yeah. The Boys is literally a hot take on current America. And it’s awesome. People that think this meme is clever have never seen the show. It’s basically the entire point of the show.
To be pedantic, Supermen was created by a pair of Canucks and The Boys is the brainchild of an Irishman.
Joe Shuster (Superman’s original artist) was Canadian, but Jerry Siegel (the original writer) was from Cleveland.
You never were. Genocide of native Americans directly to 300 years of African slavery.
I meant to say so fucking great. I understand why I’m getting down voted. That was the point I’m making. This country has always been a worthless fucking shit hole since day one.
Actin like the US isnt the only country to kill natives and have slaves. Every country is bad. We just have to try and be less bad as time goes on. But that seems almost impossible with who runs countries.
We were never that great. We got to where we are through exploiting the natives land and through slavery. Also rampant sexism and homophobia to name a few. But if you don’t give a shit about any people in those categories, i.e. only care about white people and even that mainly just white men then sure I guess we were great back then.
Meh, we were great at many things, and horrible at many things. Life is grey, not black and white.
Every nation on the planet has sins. I’m not minimizing America’s; they are grave. But across the world, throughout history every parcel of land was taken, and every nation has at one point exploited it’s people. It’s childish to imagine any nation/culture/people is clean.
Certainly not agreeing with the “back in the good old days” rhetoric. As you point out, “the good old days” weren’t so good if your skin was the wrong color, or had polio, or didn’t want to serve in a war, or many other reasons.
“If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America. They don’t care for human beings.” - Nelson Mandela
The joke works because the Israeli government called South Africa the “legal arm of Hamas”. Politico
Both are none of the American business.
As a serious note, what has happened on 7th of october was most definitely known beforehand by Israeli government and was entirely under their control, if not staged by them in the first place. Unless you don’t know, the gaza strip is (unlawfully) blockaded from all sides, including the sea, with rigorous checkpoint inspections to make sure that absolutely nothing goes in or out without Israeli knowledge. There is a huge fucking wall on the border that’d make Trump jealous, patrolled 24/7 by a whole battalion of armed forces and equipped with the most state-of-the art surveillance equipment, capable of tracking every single bird flying over Gaza. The only way a bunch of bozos on bulldozers could even approach it undetected is if Israeli intentionally removed security and disabled surveillance over some parts of the wall.
That’s rich coming from a fucking terrorist himself. Dude blew up civilians too. Guess he knows what he’s talking about.
Ya, the whole ’ oppressor’ v ’ oppressed’ narrative has caused some younger people to lose their understanding and morality. Mother fuckers are cheering for bin Laden and the Houthis right now, let alone Hamas. It’s completely fucked up. Those are the bad guys, there’s no way to argue otherwise reasonably.
Or like this:
