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.
They do hold the power tho
Europe: “Why do Americans hate natives and black people?” after raping Africa for its resources.
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.
They never got Ethiopia…
They never got Thailand…

Americans: “Stop with the what-aboutism arguments when they apply to us. Others? Sure, I’m fine with that.”
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.
This being the entire point of the show is the reason this meme works at all ?!
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.
Ah, I stand corrected.
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.
You weren’t the only ones, but you sure did it the most.
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.
Colonialism is definitely a unique sort of evil. If you don’t think that I’m sceptical that you’re particularly broadly read.
The scale of atrocities committed is just beyond comparison, like the most hardcore genocide in ancient times (that we have evidence of) was against a single city. In colonialism we are talking about continents.
Huh? Various ancient peoples led continent wide conquests. In the new world and the old.
I’m not saying modern nations are “better”, I’m saying human nature, the process of power, and the means of acquisition are uniform through time. Further, nearly every section of territory we are discussing was “conquered” multiple times.
Of course there were less people there hundreds of years ago, that doesn’t change displacement/ acquisition/genocide/ etc
So genocide is the key word. A lot of conquest did not involve the displacement or extermination of entire peoples until colonialism.
Conquering a place was largely “so you pay tax to me now” prior to colonialism, at which point it became more “so you are subhuman and need to be exterminated or bread of of existence”
Or like this:
Wtf, I can’t believe this is real.
Also- 1969, nice.
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!”

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.

Thank you for your service o7
Would probably be more impactful if I had seen that show
It’s actually pretty great
At most this one
Kind of a shitty mix of both.
More like him (with the Nuke guy watching his back).
Ron Desantis looking like Homelander.
he’s coming to mk1!
Lol
neither for neither.
I dream of Christopher Reeve as an ideal America. I see Bizarro Superman as the reality.
