    Shit, I’m American and even I’m anti-American.

    I’m a human before I’m an American and America isn’t acting very humane.

    Act like trash, get treated like trash.

    Huh, weird. who could have guessed acting like a douche would make people hate you? It’s almost as if everyone could see this coming.

      Same here. If I don’t want to do research, I just pick the store brand of whatever I’m buying. It’s usually the cheapest anyway and quality varies from exactly the same to passable. So far only the cold-brew tea and the artifical sweetener were really not acceptable, but non-American alternatives exist for both.

    Wow its like US culture was only held up by goodwill from USAID, NIH, and weapons donations to ukraine and it turns out people think the US is otherwise a bunch of billionaire sex perverts and their wage slaves when you dismantle those things.

    So you’re telling me that if we make the world hate us, they might send us less money?

    I have been living and working in Asia for over 20 years. The anti-American sentiment is the highest now compared to any other time in the last 20 years.

    Well, electing a strongman politician while abolishing goodwill programs that project soft power tends to have consequences for your economy. Mostly negative consequences, but hey, at least you get to wear a red ballcap that says your country is the bestest ever and all other countries suck mud, right?

    Easy solution: Don’t be a dick to regular humans and human rights and the Anti-American Sentiment will fade.
    You were always the front-runner for democracy and peace, but making a 180 since january all of a sudden is, yeah, not chillaxt at all… Youknow?

    All the gigantic tech corpos I have to deal with are American. I was having anti american sentiments before the orange dictator, but they sure are at an all time high.

      Good, fuck America in general. The world absolutely needs less reliance on central powers like America and China and hopefully everybody can work on improving.

    The American’t boycotting will continue until they have their own little-engine-that-could revolution, kick the fascism to the curb, and adjust the perception of their own importance and contributions to the world.

    It might even last a little longer than all that. The message must be understood.

    I will personally never set foot in that cursed country again in my life.
