National Reactions to Historical Criticism

Listen up, you big dummy. This meme, right? It's showing you how different countries, in this case, America and Germany, react when someone says their country did something bad. For Americans, the meme says they get all whiny and defensive, screaming about how great America is, even when faced with facts. You probably do that, too, don't you? Always thinking your team is the best. But for Germans, the meme shows them reacting by being super aggressive and just telling you to 'Sprich deutsch du hurensohn' (Speak German, you son of a bitch). It's a crude way of saying 'don't criticize us, we're proud and we'll tell you off in our own language.' It's humor about national pride and how people deal with history, you blockhead.
