I was scrolling through top/day, and all the memes are criticizing America. Oil memes and stuff like that. Why is that (not the memes in themselves, but the near unanimousness of the themes)?

USA does bad things

Some people make memes about it

People in the USA:

~~Let's make our country accountable for bad thing it does~~

What's happening? My fee fees are hurt.

Or the most popular:

We don't even think about your country

Then they call others snowflakes. ㄟ(ツ)ㄏ

Aren't you folks supposed to be all for "freedom of expression" or something. Oh right… that's only when youre the one spewing the bullshit.

Who's they? A population of 300 million people? The USA is large and diverse, it can't be simplied in the way you're describing just like the EU couldn't. Social media and meme propaganda doesn't represent a country and it's people.
