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

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

Why does this map label the US as “North America” in the first version?

That’s a really weird error.

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

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
