Why does anti-Americanism seem to be more common in America than elsewhere?
I admit that you have to accept the premise as true in order to answer.
I phrased it that way to get attention. Do your best in spite of the fallacy.
Anyway, I have been places other than the US where anti-Americanism actually exists.
Except, it is usually only an issue among the absolute most rock bottom uneducated and stupid people in whatever particular culture. The ones most susceptible to believing the bullshit that their warlord, king or dictator tells them in order to distract them from their poverty and misery
Most reasonably educated people elsewhere, everywhere, think the US and Americans are OK and admirable.
But here in the US, in the press, on sites like Fluther, and even in suburban neighborhoods like where I used to live, there is a sort of “hate America” current that really surprises me.
Oversees, the sentiment is isolated in pockets of abject misery. Over here it is all over the place.
Why?
Using Fluther
