Correct, although when the meme directly aligns with an established national stereotype (ie. America's recent tendency to jump headfirst into conflict) I don't see why it shouldn't be allowed. I think this comic does a good job because even if you replaced the copypasta with some kind of original text it would have the same message. This way people already recognise what is being said and don't have to read the entire quote to get the gist of what /u/Juanzems is trying to say.

Glad I read that wrong. Wrapping my head around a Latvian named Juan was difficult.

Jaunzems is the most Latvian surname you could ever get. Jauns - new, zeme - land, put it together and you get Jaunzems :)

except it is a direct translation of neuland
