Does everyone else dislike Americans?

RP Members what your take on this controversial question?

By the way - I like Americans and My Country!

After a decade of strong anti-Americanism all across the globe following the “War on Terrorism,” the notion that a majority of people in the world actually like the U.S. almost seems inconceivable. With Bush no longer in charge, though, such is the case. Global surveys indicate that, over the past three years, a plurality of people in the world have approved of the U.S. as a global power. Per the 2011-2012 BBC World Service Poll, 47% of people across 22 countries have a mainly positive opinion of America’s global influence, versus 33% holding a mainly negative opinion. The EU, per the same poll, had a minimally higher 48% approval rating. Gallup’s 2011 Leadership Poll shows that 46% of people in 136 countries approve of the leadership role of the U.S., with 26% disapproving. In that poll, only Germany surpassed the U.S., with a 47% approval rating. Pictured above is a crowd listening to Kennedy’s “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech in (you guessed) Berlin, as a reminder of how constructive the relationship between the U.S. and other countries can be given the proper leadership – and how responsive people can be to this.

On the other hand: I don’t need to remind you that the approval ratings of the United States five or six years ago were, in fact, abysmal – and I do mean, abysmal. And regardless of the man in charge, Anti-Americanism is a widespread phenomenon, make no mistake. But the next time you hear someone say “that’s why everyone hates [you] Americans,” just remember that, fortunately, the world isn’t as stubbornly hateful a place as it’s made out to be.

In most places those who have the wealth got it by stealing from others. Those who have power use it to intimidate those without. Is it hard to then understand why when they look towards America where we have so much wealth and so much power that they assume we have stolen it? Isn't this why many of the new generation of aliens, especially those who enter the country illegally, feel it is there right to steal it back? Sadly, they cannot conceive of the concept that it is possible to create wealth and that is how America became wealthy. Furthermore, we have a growing segment, bordering on a majority, who have lost sight of that vision. They speak of "fairness" as though America's wealth is a finite supply and that it should be shared equally. Never, it seems, will it occur to them to go and create their own wealth. They feel compelled to take it from others. If others hate America it is because We the People who still believe in it are failing to make our case...

I spent 30+ years as a civilian traveling the world and managing people. I do not think most people outside America hate America - most love us for what we did n the WW wars and other wars.

I think the press in the States wants us to feel bad about ourselves and lower our pride. I do think Americans have an identity crisis going on and will take years to correct what the past 16 years have done to hurt that image,

Sir, I can’t help IMHO feel that we, the United States, have lost the moral high ground, post 9/11. And I speak of the DISCLOSURE of grey/black area TTPs and our (albeit necessary) employment of GITMO. The United States hasn’t doing anything new or anything different than any other country with regards to rounding up terrorists and using “enhanced” techniques. It just took a public face. I took on this position of LOSING the moral high ground back around 2009 after reading how Turkey balked at a US State Department request to release an ethnic Armenian poet. I am still researching where I read this, but the gist I got from the piece was Turkey told the State Department to pound sand saying that any argument for the poets release from an indefinite “Gitmo” sentence. Turkey’s justification was part and parcel what the US had done with 9-11 suspects picked up on the battlefield.

With all due respect to you and everyone else on RP, the ONLY approvals or "likes" I care about come from three places:

1. God
2. My mother being she is my world and who brought me here
3. the 1% of this nation that has served in some capacity in our armed forces.

This might sound egotistical or arrogant; it might even play into why others don't like us, but to them I'd say "who cares"? Are you a productive member of your home country? Are you working to better the lives of your countrymen? Are you interested in being an American and adopt our way of life? If not, you should do more to occupy your time than worrying about what the US is doing unless you directly see our influence in your country. There are going to be people who are never going to "like" us, share our values as Americans, or care about us. So they will forever be jaded against us. Others are confused with their opinions due to television and social media's take on various issues we have here and they're more than likely misgiven or straight up false.
On the flip side of that, If you have the time to talk about me, then I must be doing something right and you're taking notice.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs the BBC and Gallop poll results that you mentioned seem very myopic since they are focusing on Anti-USA attitudes since the global War on Terrorism which was supported by so many other nations from the Philippines through Africa to Europe.
It would have much more useful if these polls compared current Anti-USA attitudes to the period of 1960 through 2000 [by decades] since the early 1960's with tensions with various African wars and insurgencies, our cold war with Cuba and the Soviet block, and our involvement in they Vietnam War, out strike against Panama in 1989, our support for Operation Desert Storm and Operation Southern Watch against Iraq.
My experience in the mid-1970's in the USA as a young soldier was that the population was anti-military and many were actually anti-American. Some of those anti-American folks went on to write or actually rewrite textbooks to diminish the reputation of the early explorers, our formative experiences as a nation, the facts about the internecine warfare among native Americans, emphasizing the evil of southern slave owners while downplaying the fact that many salves were sold by black Africans from victorious tribes which had captured the others who were sold as slaves, etc.
This nation and its people are certainly not perfect ; but, this nation is still the best hope for the world.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs Remember this letter, Colonel:

America: The Good Neighbor.

"This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth.

Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.

When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.

When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United States that hurries in to help. This spring, 59 American communities were flattened by tornadoes. Nobody helped.

The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars! into discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent, warmongering Americans.

I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the International lines except Russia fly American Planes?

Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on the moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy, and you get automobiles.

You talk about American technocracy, and you find men on the moon -! not once, but several times - and safely home again.

You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless they are breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here.

When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke.

I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.

Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one of those."

As I read this I'm watching The Man in The High Castle. It's a mini series that spins off the idea of what if Impetial Japan and Nazi Germany won WWII. It's been putting concepts like you mentioned above into perspective for me. America dispite the corporatism, military industrial complex, and our foreign policy failures is at best an ideal, our history is light and dark. Our leaders altruistic and selfish. We were raised up by imperfect people who new they didn't have all answers...Because humanity is not perfect. were a country of misfits and losers who washed ashore from everywhere else. The "wretched refuse" of the world. whats happened is that we started telling ourselves the wrong stories, the myth of America is very powerful. It's what made people risk death and imprisonment to get here. The media, the corporations and fear have taken hold of our pop culture and divided the generations. We ignore our elders and alienate our young people. Citizens have no commonality, no connection. Which is why we are often divided again and again over moral dilemmas and unsure of our future. You don't have to love America but you have to live here and once we come to that unavoidable truth we can work on toward common goals that unite the genitions and encompass all citizens. Not just the privileged not just the poor, the naturalists, the liberal minded, the workers or the politically active but all of us. All of us want our children to grow up in a place capable of allowing them to achieve their dreams. Thats America, that's what lies behind the golden door, that's worth struggling toward, that's worth defending. To often we forget our own stories our own history. Because there's no one to tell it anymore. We need more artists and poets we need to hear from those who can tell us our story again.

I love Americans! It's just so hard to find many of them these days. It seems that the nation is now pretty evenly divided between those who are unwilling to surrender their liberty and take responsibility for themselves, and those who only care about freedom from responsibility.

Do others like us? Some do. Some don't. What I really find dismaying is that so many pseudo-Americans don't like America. They have been taught its faults and its flaws. It makes me wonder how they can ever find someone, anyone, or anything to love. No one is perfect, certainly not America. We never lived up to the blueprint cast in the Constitution, although we were striving for it until the Left took command of our educational system and bureaucracy and began diddling with our children, our government, and our economy.

And then there are those who hate America. I'm not surprised when I find such hatred among our enemies, but am totally perplexed when I find it among celebrities who have been given so much unearned wealth and adulation by Americans. Maybe they're really just enemies who live among us.

The Japanese Protesting our Nuclear Ships arriving at Yokosuka go out of their way to make sure that we know this is not against the US but against Nuclear Propulsion and Nuclear Weapons. Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in England CND was pretty much the same, Their Protest were street parties and street theater to let us know they do not approve of the Nuclear weapons that we bring with us or provide their country. Many don't approve of the Crap we do influencing or even taking over other countries and I can't say I fault them.

We continue, as we have in the past, to reach out and help all in need throughout the world. How many other nations come to the aid of the oppressed in this world? Not many and I'm sure we can name the few that do. "PC" is killing us as well as others in this word that use our own laws against us. We need to continue to stand for our principles, our way of life here in the United States and our "Constitution". We just need to continue to do the best we can.

There are the "Ugly Americans" who adversely impact the way others think of us by their actions and attitudes when they travel out of the USA.
Then there are those that have been fed a constant diet of hate like ISIL. They seem to hate everyone who is not a nutcase Muslim.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs there is an old saying that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. I hope that many around the world do not judge a nation by their diplomats. I hope that they would wait until they actually encounter a person from that nation. That is a double edged sword in its own right. If the American they encounter is an asshole, then they may think that we are all that way. If they meet a good person, then they may think that we are all that way. When I went to France, of course, I had heard all of the cliches about how rude the French are. I discovered that most of the French are wonderful people, bending over backwards to show that the reputation they have based on the people of Paris should not be applied unilaterally. Now the people of Paris, they absolutely lived up to the reputation of being miserable, snobby, elitist, pricks. So overall I think that people are people. In every community you are going to have those that stand out as being overly good people, and those that stand out as the town sphincter. Most are just people trying to get through their lives with the least amount of drama possible.

I think it depends on which countries and our history with them. It also depends on the current state of affairs within each country comparatively. For example, Last year, I had 3 exchange students in my care. The one from Thailand didn't want to leave because of us as a family but she loves her country and America but she wishes to remain Thai. My Spanish student had contempt for our country and was in the program to further her education. She was arrogant, defied rules if should could get away with it. She was taught to still harbor resentment due to the Spanish-American War. I live in Florida and she would quip that this land belonged to Spain with a subtle vehemence. This is what she taught. We are the evil empire. Of course they gloss over the atrocities that the Spanish empire put forth in the past. By the time she left, her eyes were wider open but they will be closed once again when she returns. I also lived in Spain as kid and they accepted me due to my hispanic heritage but despised the fact I was American. Not much changed. My Vietnamese student was the one I feared for obvious reasons. In short, she wants to stay in America, become an American and absolutely loves what America stands for and what it offers.

Next week we will get another Spanish student from a different part of Spain and we will see how that goes. In August, I will get another Vietnamese student and a German student. Pre-interviews have been very positive with all 3 students. Ask this question again in a year.

Lastly, not all hatred or dislike of America and/or Americans is based on history or global current events. Some is downright jealousy or even lifestyle.

Ask a European about Trump and what you get is vomit passed from the mouths of the media into the public that eats it up (this is not an endorsement of Trump, it is only used as an indicator of media manipulation). I was in Nuremberg in 2008 and was asked by a local woman what I thought of Obama. I told her that I thought he would make an awful President. Her immediate reaction?

They want a transcending document relative to social desires within the given era. There people want to be something other than what our country was founded upon and for.

To be honest I am not very interested in what major news organization report about how foreigners feel about the USA. I have long debated my European cousins on this matter. they tend to be much more liberal than I have ever been.
I am more concerned about hos people in this nation "feel" about this nation. While there have always been rebels, in general most citizens have appreciated and been thankful for the USA and our flag. There seems to have been more instances of citizens of the USA misusing and abusing the flag.
I think the flag of the USA similar to the carefully balanced freedoms and responsibilities contained in our shared constitution and bill of rights offend a very vocal minority. Most of our citizens and even many illegal aliens are thankful for this nation which has been a melting pot since it was a group of individual colonies.
Progressives/liberals tend to focus on increasing "benefits" to those that merit them.
There are some who are focused on limiting the activity of those they disagree with including those who advocate: right for individuals to bear arms; right to life from before the cradle until the grave; sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman; etc.
This last group are the ones who tend to despise the flag and what it represents.

Like right after the War of 1812, the Mexican American war, the Spanish American war, WWI, WWII, the Korean war, the Viet Nam war, the Faulkin Island, every time we tried to save some other country we became more hated. I started my career nearly 50 years ago and in virtually every country I was assigned to or went TDY to we were hated!
