50 Of The Funniest And Most Accurate History Memes Shared By This Instagram Account (New Pics)

I agree completely. But unfortunately the loudest and most persistent voices are the ones I described. Reasonable people often don't challenge these people because they need to move on and actually accomplish things.

Focusing only on one country's history, and only the bad parts, then throwing it in the faces of people who have not committed any heinous acts, is undoubtedly hate.

Who's focussing only on one country? Plenty of posts on here deride the British for the actions of the Empire. Maybe the problem isn't so much other people's hate as your own sensitivity. Despite your claims to victimhood, the truth is not partisan or prejudicial.

Vix Spiderthrust: I think you should to replace, "plenty", with "occasional". There are more posts deriding Americans and American policy in the past two days than have been posted for deriding Britain this year. Also, being overly sensitive isn't something the English are immune to. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ps: I agree with many of your other comments. I have no idea why You, I, Tamra, and others "talking" with each other are getting downvoted. This type of discussion is the point of BoredPanda (unless I'm mistaken and we should just write, "cute" under puppy/kitten pictures).

Really? I've counted seven anti-British entries in this article alone (not counting the one about Big Ben because it isn't straightforwardly anti-British, or the one with Palpatine and the French border because that's just good old-fashioned observational comedy). There are anti-Russian entries, anti-Italian entries, anti-Romanian entries...anyone who looks at this list and thinks "everyone's down on America" has either selective blindness or a persecution complex.

Vix...you cant be serious? We have even had non Americans on this very site say that it gets ridiculous. Are you on here often? YOU are the blind one if you are serious about this comment....

Aria Whitaker: Vix S. was so oblivious, I had to explain a few things to him. Just FYI if you care. Thanks for your attempt to educate.

I'm extremely serious. What surprises me is the amount of tearful rage and self-willed victimhood coming from people who claim to live in the greatest country in the world. You can be the best OR you can be the despised underdogs. Pick one.

Vix S:. . . . . It's the RATIO of anti-US posts vs other countries. For every 1 "anti-UK" posts there are 100 anti-US posts. I'm happy to collect OBJECTIVE data and count the a) Inaccurate, b) Troll-like, c) Stereotyping d) Angry anti-UK vs anti-US posts. (Note: I'm not counting history or comedic posts). If you agree, don't complain or downvote when Panda's start giving you updates of the tally. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Your comments, at the very least, border on what I'm talking about. When you write you are, "surprised by the amount tearful rage and self-willed victimhood". ... Your comment here is, 1. Inaccurate/Overblown (unless you can cite actual examples of American Pandas being "tearful" or expressing "rage", ... 2. You are Stereotyping every American, all 330 million, when you say, "coming from people who claim to live in the greatest country in the world". (These Americans are a loud Minority, who American Pandas criticise regularly -- and they get mad when Americans criticism them). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I'd be more annoyed with your comments, but since I have a connections to both UK and US, I know that you are just part of the loud UK minority -- like the loud US minority you are criticizing. It's your angry self-righteous attitude that makes players on Wales national football team say, "I'd rather lose playing for Wales than win playing for England". Many people who live in nations bordering England (under the umbrella of the UK) find the English to be exactly like the Americans you despise. Is King Charles III going to be able to hold the UK together, or will they sever ties? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ps: When you write, "...

I don't count 700 anti-US posts to the 7 anti-British posts in this article, so clearly your ratio is nonsense. But thanks for the extremely long post which is about nothing but your own solipsism. You people realise that BP is just a content aggregator site, right? Most of these articles come originally from Reddit, where the entries were largely written *by Americans*. All you're doing is whining to each other about your own opinions. And this particular poster, who was bleating that an American suggesting Americans should learn American history is "hate", is just pathetic. Why are you sticking up for this snivelling rubbish?

Vix Spiderthrust: Oh, now I understand. You are not going to PROVIDE EVIDENCE … OR ... APOLOGIZE for any of your comments that I specifically referenced, because you are just an as*-hole TROLL. You could have allies, but you want enemies. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Americans you are criticising here agree that there are too many delusional US citizens -- they just don't want to be STEREOTYPED along with them in a generic, unfocused way -- which is what you are doing. I'm sure you are great at convincing borderline Tories to see your point of view.

Provide evidence? The evidence is in this post, and I've already cited it. Plenty of posts here attacking nations other than the USA. And you yourself have already disagreed with Shawn, who is exactly the sort I'm talking about with his "America has all the freedom" nonsense. Why you've decided I'm criticising you specifically I've no idea, but just because *you're* upset doesn't make *me* a troll. Trolls are people like Morgan Davies, below, who scream "LEAVE AMERICA!" at anyone who dares suggest that US history is not entirely wholesome. Try to put your tearful rage aside.

Furthermore, what you've written is Definitely Hyperbolic and OVERLY DRAMATIC, bordering on LYING, when you repeatedly use the, "Tearful Rage" description.

"Oops, that’s not how democracies work. A democracy is, by definition, pluralist".

The people I'm arguing with are saying "waaaaaaaah". I repeat, the complaint here was against the suggestion that American history should accurately be reported by Americans to Americans. Thank you for the postscript, though. No apology for the "troll arseh0le" remark? Seeing as only one of us descended to hurling insults...

The "good" parts of American History are very well known (and sometimes exaggerated). Restoring the balance of the record and telling the full story is undoubtably not hate.

@Michael: "Restoring the balance" should not include blatant falsehoods, exaggerations, generalizations or gaslighting, though, Michael. Tell the story of American mistakes and failures, by all means. Hell, I'll help you! But that is not what happens. Just like the "America is the greatest beacon of a perfect, generous freedom loving nation" narrative is completely false, laughable and exaggerated....so is the "America and Americans are horrible and dumb and can do nothing positive" narrative is as well. BOTH are BS and BOTH should be fought. Not one false narrative replaced with an opposite, equally false one. Blatant generalizations about millions would not be tolerated if it were ANY other country...it should not be tolerated towards Americans either, no matter how much hate you have for the country.

Notice that nothing that you say contradicts my post. And nowhere did I advocate "blatant falsehoods, exaggerations, generalizations or gaslighting". I spoke of telling the full story. And "generalizations about millions" in other countries are indeed tolerated. When Trump demeaned poorer nations as "s**t-hole countries", how much support did he lose among his followers?

I am talking about on Bored Panda, Michael. I was not speaking of your comment specifically...but what is seen frequently here. They are NOT tolerated HERE. Let me try and generalize all French, or Ukrainians, or Mexicans....it will be downvoted to hell on this site. But do the same to Americans, its fine. We get rationalizations and justifications. We get "whataboutisms". This is not about Trump, at all.

Trump's s**t hole comments were undoubtedly tolerated and even applauded by his followers, but definitely blasted by everyone else with a conscience and brain.

Certainly. But everyone with a conscience and a brain was already in strong opposition to him long before he said it. So he lost nothing.
