Already trying to both-sides the narrative before even knowing who the other side is, because all you’re interested in is deflection.

Canada to Canadians:

A Mountie standing between all the world’s major conflicts blocking the worst of it, in the background there’s a stack of Olympic hockey medals.

Canada to the rest of the world:

Aren’t you guys like, a part of the US? Anyway I put sugar in your tea for you because that’s how the Americans like it.

We like it as tea flavored simple syrup actually. Idk about Canadians though, probably the same right? They’re basically Minnesotans with funny accents

Brisk or Arazona iced tea are fairly popular, but I mostly set prior just having iced tea without sugar.

I should add when I went to Europe all the cafes kept explaining that I wouldn’t like their tea or just adding sugar because I sounded American to them.

It was weirdly insulting. Like the kind of thing that’s not really an insult, but feels like one.

I know a fair number of Minnesotans who say they’re Canadian when traveling to Europe. The accent and culture is similar enough and generally people have more positive stereotypes about Canadians, lol.

The tea thing is weird though. I’m originally from Florida, where iced tea is sweet tea, I was dismayed the first time I ordered iced tea in Minnesota and it was unsweet, and the barista pointed me at sugar packets- no, the sugar won’t dissolve properly in cold tea!

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.

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.

USA participating in WW2 is one of the greatest net goods in history at the cost of millions of lives. Cant argue it was citizens sent into involuntary massacre. Neither can you argue how the most evil and horrible empires got dismantled then or eventually.
