This is true since 9/11 I think the U.S. does hate itself for as SC said in jest it's "Security State" which is actually a complete destruction of it's pre 9/11 values.

At the bird guy.... Detroit?

America should fracture itself in to smaller countries. Start up some rivalries with each other. People will feel less inclined to hate Statesians if they're not collectively unified under a continent-spanning, multi-trillion dollar superpower with a massive population and a raging hard-on for global meddling.

More little guys and underdogs, is what I'm saying. Everybody loves them.

Close American ally, former imperial superpower, seen as a bully, too independent from the rest of Europe, also a global meddler that can't handle it's finances.

And those stuck-up accents...

Too small. Too many large swaths of American heartland.

We could call them Mega Cities!!!

@LL I agree about Britain!

Mega City One still has less crime than real America. Oddly enough.

I imagine nation states akin to:

Everyone's jealous because we've only had one civil war in our history, and not the world average (skewed by South American and African countries) of three.

But seriously, I don't think most self-identified anti-Americans actually hate American people, at least not in Europe where it's best-documented. They might have bigoted ideas of Americans, some of which may be partially well-founded, but "people who hate the American government" is a much larger set than "people who hate everything American"

America =/= Americans, in general.

Like OV said.

People just have nothing better to do then prejudge others. It goes for people in and outside of the US. It is just that kind of world we live in now a days. In all honesty though, if you hate someone or a whole country without even MEETING or speaking with them; Well then you are just a childish *******.

And spelling.

Also seems to be a bit of collective amnesia about this fine chap.

Might have a wee bit to do with him.

I think a lot of people are worried about American Neo-Imperialism. Also, a lot of people buy into stereotypes about a fair amount of Americans being dumb and lazy.

what if my hatred of Americans comes exclusively from meeting and speaking with them?
