The 'American Century of Humiliation' meme is a geopolitical parody of the historical 'Century of Humiliation' experienced by China. It gained traction on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), 4chan, and Reddit as a way for users to comment on perceived national decline, social polarization, or embarrassing international incidents involving the United States. Often featuring a somber or ironic aesthetic, the meme uses hyperbole to frame modern headlines within a tragic historical narrative. It is frequently employed by both domestic critics and foreign commentators to satirize the shifting landscape of global power in the 21st century.
