America was founded on colonial genocide.
Pretty much everywhere was founded on colonial genocide...
It's just how recent it happened.
Like, you're giving America shit for what the English, Spanish, and other countries did before America even existed. But it's hard to really blame even the English. It wasnt the English people doing it, it was their royalty who were French.
For the vast amount of human history, some random group you may never have even heard about could just roll up and conquer you and take all your shit.
The context of this image is that Europe is making fun of something uniquely American, so you would think that America would be making fun of something uniquely European. They are not.
Do you think the country got together to workshop this meme?
Or do you think a teenager who's still in highschool and might even know less than you made it?
Its origin is irrelevant. I was just pointing out that it's nonsensical.
Which would have been great...
If your comment made anymore sense.
OPs is just a stupid meme tho, they were making a joke. You tried to correct them but you don't even know what you're talking about.
You're right, something something whataboutism who gives a fuck about injustice π€‘π€‘π€‘
No, I'm saying it's stupid to blame the people of a country for what their monarchies were doing...
It's not the fault of "the English" it's the fault of the guy who was King at the time.
Be pissed all you want, we all should be.
Just be pissed at the people who are actually the problem.
But that's probably too much to ask of someone unironically using a fucking clown emoji
