What's with the sudden boom with memes about America? (lemm.ee)

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)?

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.
