Balkan People See Two Men Kiss

Text on the meme

Balkan people when they see two men kiss: Balkan people when their city opens a KFC: WESTERN INFLUENCE IS DESTROYING OUR SOCIETY I AM A U.S. VETERAN I BELIEVE IN GOD FAMILY AND COUNTRY I WILL SALUTE MY FLAG I AM A PROUD AMERICAN

What it means

A four-panel meme contrasts Balkan people supposedly reacting calmly to two men kissing with reacting dramatically to a KFC opening in their city. The joke mocks perceived Balkan homophobia and anti-Western nationalism by pairing the angry “Western influence is destroying our society” face with an aggressively patriotic American veteran shirt. It is sent as a reaction to hypocrisy, cultural conservatism, or exaggerated outrage over Western influence.
