Have I captured the essence of the 'classic' ignorant and angry white American? Honestly, it fits pretty well for FN and EDL dudes in France and the UK, respectively...
this just captures the angry white man in not just the US, but also KKKommonwealth and Europe.
Losurdo really drives home that white/western supremacy has been a global project that's gone through many phases, not just limited to one country.
The word untermensch for example, comes from lothrop stoddard, a US white supremacist and eugenicist who greatly inspired the nazis. They also took lebensraum from manifest destiny, and openly wanted to emulate what the US did to its native population, in eastern europe.
After the nazis broke the rules and attacked westward and started western infighting by attacking britain and france, then lost in ww2, the US took up the mantle of the west's leading country who would keep the non-white populations of the world in check, by bombing anyone who dared to challenge colonialism or neo-colonialism, or impede their control of resources and prevent the spice from flowing.

OP uncritically defends china/russia/other communistic-ish autocracies. Their point isn’t some nuanced argument on china, it is literally “US/West Bad” — like it’s almost funny how OP is actually doing what the meme shows just in reverse.
The US is bad, comically so. We've got military bases on every continent, we've been at war constantly for our entire 2+ century existence, we've got the largest prison population on earth and explicit legal allowance for prison slave labor, we're the only country ever to use nukes and we used them both on fucking civilians, I could go on but I've already made my point and it's probably wasted on you anyway.
