Actually the Avengers from Age Of Ultron is appropriate because they destroyed a country fighting an enemy of their own creation and expected everyone to congratulate them for it.

Also they started a Civil War after that, given the domestic political situation that's not too far off either.

We don't think the world sees us as the Avengers anymore. At this point things are so bad here we've stopped thinking (which is different than not caring) about how the world thinks of us. For fuck's sake our president started a war when we weren't looking. It's like riding in a bus the size of a football field being driven by a drunk, that's what living in America is like.

"when we weren't looking" sounds like a cop out

But you'd be fine with it if he did it while you were looking, of course

My point is that we're so inundated with terrible news and horrific policy we can't start to mount an opposition to a specific change before the next horror arises. We had military occupations in our cities which have been forgotten because that was half a dozen scandals ago.

Personally I've been in panic mode for a year because I was a government contractor before Trump let Elon Musk lay me off. Due to the economy Trump is directly responsible for the only job I could find pays 1/4 of what I was making with no benefits.

Now there is a war. I'm going hungry.

What do you mean anymore? Have a look at Wikipedia. They are the asshole neighbours for many decades.

I assume at this point, the world sees us as the 3rd picture.

This implies the global south enjoyed imperialism before Trump. The global south should be far more against the US Empire in the top image.

You're forgetting the large amount of Americans who also hate America

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago

You have to deny so many American atrocities to make a map like this.

US citizen here. We hate it. Fuck Trump and his pedo defenders. Burn it all down and start over.

I'm surprised nobody in the 2nd or 3rd pics are morbidly obese

Why are you using the "Spaceball dollar" for most international trade?

Why are you buying your weapons from the Spaceball?

Why do you make deals conceding power to the Spaceball?

Why does the Spaceball get a UN veto?

WHY

Need Frank Castle in the top photo. Bottom picture should replace center photo, and bottom photo should be replaced by the video of that orangutan driving a golf cart or a photo of a group monkeys, some masterbating and some flinging excrement.

Before you laugh to hard at the Spaceballs, consider that they did very nearly asphyxiate an entire planet.

It used to be that I hated government, not the people. Now even with people I have to consider there are openly fascist ones supporting Trump.
