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)?

I thought most of them were from the same guy. One or two were mildly funny, but posting basically the same joke a dozen times in a row is arguably not how to make it shine. Also, a couple people might have heard the ol' "DAE le USA le oil eggs dee" before.

When I first noticed the memes, I looked at the account making them and it was less than a day old. I just figured they had an axe to grind or it was an election season bot and blocked the account, lol.

Why don't people get that posting a million memes about the same thing in a row gets tiring? I don't give a shit about what the subject is, just space them out or something.

A couple of America and oil memes? Funny. 10 nearly identical copies of a meme in a row? Starts to get grating.
