This is literally the point of The Boys. What if normal greedy people held the power, what would that look like if they were superpowered.
Even in The Boys, the real evil came from their corporate overlords.
More specifically capitalism. Pretty good show.
They do hold the power tho
Didn’t USA come up with both characters? One in the 1930s and one now? More of a sign of the times I say.
Yeah. The Boys is literally a hot take on current America. And it’s awesome. People that think this meme is clever have never seen the show. It’s basically the entire point of the show.
To be pedantic, Supermen was created by a pair of Canucks and The Boys is the brainchild of an Irishman.
Joe Shuster (Superman’s original artist) was Canadian, but Jerry Siegel (the original writer) was from Cleveland.
USA participating in WW2 is one of the greatest net goods in history at the cost of millions of lives. Cant argue it was citizens sent into involuntary massacre. Neither can you argue how the most evil and horrible empires got dismantled then or eventually.
Because we were still fucking great back then.
You never were. Genocide of native Americans directly to 300 years of African slavery.
I meant to say so fucking great. I understand why I’m getting down voted. That was the point I’m making. This country has always been a worthless fucking shit hole since day one.
I have a feeling that your original comment would benefit from /s
Oh well I give two shits if people are downvoting me lol
Actin like the US isnt the only country to kill natives and have slaves. Every country is bad. We just have to try and be less bad as time goes on. But that seems almost impossible with who runs countries.
We were never that great. We got to where we are through exploiting the natives land and through slavery. Also rampant sexism and homophobia to name a few. But if you don’t give a shit about any people in those categories, i.e. only care about white people and even that mainly just white men then sure I guess we were great back then.
Meh, we were great at many things, and horrible at many things. Life is grey, not black and white.
Every nation on the planet has sins. I’m not minimizing America’s; they are grave. But across the world, throughout history every parcel of land was taken, and every nation has at one point exploited it’s people. It’s childish to imagine any nation/culture/people is clean.
Certainly not agreeing with the “back in the good old days” rhetoric. As you point out, “the good old days” weren’t so good if your skin was the wrong color, or had polio, or didn’t want to serve in a war, or many other reasons.
Europe: “Why do Americans hate natives and black people?” after raping Africa for its resources.
England doesn’t really have any room to talk.
They never got Ethiopia…
They never got Thailand…
Unlike Americans, Europeans would never create systematic forms of oppression… except with migrants, and Arabs, and Romas, and Samis, and other Europeans.
Roma.
G* has always been a slur.
Now do your country.
Edit: so far GB and Canada have a sense of humour
I’m just waiting for the Swiss Army Man version of Britain.
Lol love it
Canada to Canadians:
A Mountie standing between all the world’s major conflicts blocking the worst of it, in the background there’s a stack of Olympic hockey medals.
Canada to the rest of the world:
Aren’t you guys like, a part of the US? Anyway I put sugar in your tea for you because that’s how the Americans like it.
Canada to indigenous peoples: Homelander.
I think this is our official statement on indigenous genocide:

Canada in Brasil: lets fucking destroy the amazon.
Canada to the rest of the world:
Krombopulous Michaels: “oh boy, here I go killing again!”
We like it as tea flavored simple syrup actually. Idk about Canadians though, probably the same right? They’re basically Minnesotans with funny accents
I should add when I went to Europe all the cafes kept explaining that I wouldn’t like their tea or just adding sugar because I sounded American to them.
It was weirdly insulting. Like the kind of thing that’s not really an insult, but feels like one.
Brisk or Arazona iced tea are fairly popular, but I mostly set prior just having iced tea without sugar.
I know a fair number of Minnesotans who say they’re Canadian when traveling to Europe. The accent and culture is similar enough and generally people have more positive stereotypes about Canadians, lol.
The tea thing is weird though. I’m originally from Florida, where iced tea is sweet tea, I was dismayed the first time I ordered iced tea in Minnesota and it was unsweet, and the barista pointed me at sugar packets- no, the sugar won’t dissolve properly in cold tea!
Every time I go south I wonder how people down there are still alive. Between the sweet tea, biscuits and gravy, pork cracklings, boudin, and kolaches, I feel like I have to take a nap whenever I eat a meal.
Yeah I’m actually a northerner and you don’t think there’s too much of a difference between Ohio and Kentucky culturally until you order iced tea. I like it unsweetened, but even the sweet tea up here is less sweet.

It doesn’t work when the citizens hate the country more than anyone else does already (France).
u mad?
Lol no. Are you upset cuz I want to see memes about other countries too?
Already trying to both-sides the narrative before even knowing who the other side is, because all you’re interested in is deflection.
lemmings need to calm the fuck down, not everything is an attack.
Dude. You need to get out of your basement.
🥱
Wait, if homelander is 'murica does that make this part 9/11?
Fuckin diabolical.
Eh… Most of us see our country as somewhere in-between now a days.
The best part of this is that’s the worst version of Superman who was definitely going to turn evil.
At most this one
Kind of a shitty mix of both.
he’s coming to mk1!
“If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America. They don’t care for human beings.” - Nelson Mandela
That’s rich coming from a fucking terrorist himself. Dude blew up civilians too. Guess he knows what he’s talking about.
This is why kids these days think terrorism is based
Ya, the whole ’ oppressor’ v ’ oppressed’ narrative has caused some younger people to lose their understanding and morality. Mother fuckers are cheering for bin Laden and the Houthis right now, let alone Hamas. It’s completely fucked up. Those are the bad guys, there’s no way to argue otherwise reasonably.
No, kids think terrorism is based because you boomers keep calling good people terrorists.
PS: Israel and Hamas are on the same side. They both want a war. Every anti-Israel person is anti-Hamas, and every pro-Israel person is pro-Hamas. If Israel gave equal rights to Palestinians, nobody would give Hamas good press anymore. No new recruits. People would leave. Hamas’ existence is a choice Israel continues to make every day.
So bin Laden, the Houthis and Hamas are good people?
That’s who these people are cheering for. The Houthi flag is the call of the good guys?
That you think Hamas wouldn’t exist if Israel provided equal rights, shows you are not familiar with the players involved here. Their charter says clearly otherwise, so do their actions. So does the entire history of the region. The goal is the removal of the Jewish people, same as it’s been for centuries. They’re not shy about sharing that either. You should listen to them.
So bin Laden, the Houthis and Hamas are good people?
You boomers have really bad reading comprehension.
Yes, but why would you listen to what Hamas has to say?!?!
We are all Hamas on this blessed day
Speak for yourself
Lmao I thought your reply was a joke on Israel calling everything Hamas. You were serious? Lol
Can’t attest to their intentions but “speak for yourself” would be the continuation of the ken m “we are all x on this blessed day” meme, whether or not that’s what you were going for.
Oh, absolutely. Was hoping for a “I am all Hamas on this blessed day”.
For the ones not in the know:
Damn I didn’t know the original meme 😔
More like him (with the Nuke guy watching his back).
Or like this:
Did you pull this meme out of 1957?
The bottom guy is Homelander from The Boys
