Why is USA hated?

"American" is not a race, it's a nationality, unless you're referring to the indigenous people who lived in the Americas (North and South) before Europeans conquered them - but I don't think anyone really hates them.

As for why the U.S. is hated so much, it depends on the hater:

1. Many Middle Eastern and Muslim-majority nations hate the U.S. because we attempt to export our own value system all around the world. We tell other countries that women should be treated like men, then we produce movies and music videos that glorify sexual promiscuity, materialism, and unfaithfulness. Can you imagine living in a conservative Muslim country and having some debauched nation like the U.S. tell you how to treat your women?
2. Russia hates the U.S. because we have fundamentally different views of what the world's community of nations should work together on, so we're always trying to screw each other and make one another out to be the world's bad guy.
3. China doesn't hate us, they just can't imagine why we'd continue to hold onto a socio-political ideology that results in school shootings, riots in the streets, financial market crashes, and the freedom to elect complete idiots.
4. Some African countries hate the U.S. because of the Muslim thing. Others hate the U.S. because we treat them like a huge charity case. Still, some hate the U.S. because it has so many vocal people who proudly declare that blacks are inferior to whites.

There are probably more reasons that other countries or regions hate the U.S., but as you can see it isn't a one-size-fits-all answer. The bottom line is that "American" isn't a race.

 

Maybe having planes flown into our buildings has given us an attitude.

 

Is that a way of telling me that everywhere the US military goes, improvements are bound to result? You reckon that applies to Vietnam - Iraq - Afghanistan? Take off the blinkers and tell me where there's been a rip-roaring successful outcome. I can't think of one, least of all Afghanistan.

 

Empires crumble from within. And the left has been working overtime on that for 50 years.

 

We sided with the rebels who side with ISIS. That's how ISIS got all there Toyotas.


Obama, and his supporters, support terrorist if they think it will help them politically.

 

The USA is hated because of it's arrogance, and it's trying to take over the world country by country for their globalist masters, who control the governments of the USA...aka the Soros', and his crowd of big money billionaires (not Trump, he is small potatoes), the international bankers aka Rothschilds, and the military industrial complex ,...that is who controls the USA and their agenda of never ending wars around the planet....

 

Great post. (not Trump, he is small potatoes) 'small potatoes'

 

Though I will say that excepting for our use of the nuclear option, in WWII we were on the right side. Why is war and conquest part of the human condition?

I don't know why, but it is.

 

Ok, and I concede that obama/hillary/kerry toyed with the idea of regime change in syria

But in this case after the civil war began

 

What a moronic statement. How many people from India and China wish they could live in the USA, compared to how many would ever move from the US to India or China?

 

A lot of places have more paternalistic attitudes in their politics. If the US isn't being their daddy, they get upset. If the US is busy daddying someone they don't like, they get even more upset. Often it is because they see us misusing or shirking our duty as leader of the world.

 

Ok Americans are not a "race". I get that but I think most people also know what I'm suggesting.

Lots of jealousy out there

 

Yet every time the right gains power, the world suffers.

 

The world benefitted when Reagan won the Cold War. And that was won in spite of our left working against us. The left wasn't anti-communist. They were anti-anti-communist.

 

Whether Americans are hated or not it depends on who you ask and in what context.
Overall I think that ‘hated’ is too strong a word to use. The UK is one of the favourite countries to visit for American tourists and most enjoy the experience and in the main they are welcome. It’s the same for all of us when we travel abroad, i.e. leave you’re political views at home. Be polite to the natives and they will be polite to you.

I’m a Londoner and in the summer the city is fairly crowded with American tourists and those younger Americans who attend its universities. The impression I have of Americans is they are delightfully naïve of any country except their own. I have lost count of the times I have been asked ‘Do you speak English?’ which I give the stock answer ‘Yes I think we invented it’
Although we speak the same language our culture is different, don’t fight it, accept it.

There certainly is a universal dislike of American politics, especially their foreign policy and that’s widespread throughout the world. Trumps denial of climate change is frankly disastrous, how much proof does he want. Hurricane Irma has reached Florida and there’s much more damage to come.

 

And what exactly does that have to do with the vitality of a country?

 

No the world became a much less safe place. Ending the cold war sounded good in theory but in practice it just allowed the endless series of actual wars that occurred as a result.

 

More like disappointment.

 

I think you must be speaking for yourself when you generalize about what "Americans" think & who "Americans" like as there is a growing dislike among Americans for Israel in recent years.

Most Americans couldn't find Saudi Arabia on a map until 9/11 and have only learned about the Islamic Mid East via our Zionist dominated, pro Israel MSM(1). That's why so many unthinking Americans favor Israel. Among better educated Europeans, Israel is better known for the criminal entity it is.(2)
People, in general, fear what they don't know and Americans are pitifully ignorant & professionally misinformed about "Evil" Muslims. I know this from first hand experience.

Additionally, America has become the #1 destination for Israelis fleeing the hostile environment they have created for themselves(3). Many come to America for the benefits it offers only to keep their loyalty for Israel 1st over America's best interests.

EXCERPT “Why does TV news look like a Netanyahu ad?” asked Chris McGreal of The Guardian on July 31, in his article on the “notoriously pro-Israel mainstream media in the U.S.”In fact, three main dailies here from mid-July to mid-August easily gave the impression that U.S. President Barack Obama, not Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was prosecuting a war against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The U.S. State Department continues to list the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) as a terrorist organization.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal dispelled any doubt about which side it was on. On Aug. 2-3, its Review section gave a two-page spread — “In Defense of Zionism” — against an oversize photo of a flag-raising ceremony in Israel, in 1948.”CONTINUED

If Carter had ended the Cold War he would have been better than FDR and Churchill combined. But Reagan did it, so it was a terrible mistake.

Got it.

 

War and conquest are about resources.

 

No. I imagine the North Koreans weren't too happy though as the U.S. dropped more bombs on them than were dropped in the entire Pacific during WW2.

Millions died. They only stopped because there were literally no more targets left standing.

That's upsetting, isn't it?

I'd say they'd be glad if the U.S. don't get involved in another war on their land.

Killing 3 million = defending freedom.

God bless the USA!

 

Defending freedom:

The U.S. war crime North Korea won’t forget

''The bombing was long, leisurely and merciless, even by the assessment of America’s own leaders. “Over a period of three years or so, we killed off — what — 20 percent of the population,” Air Force Gen. Curtis LeMay, head of the Strategic Air Command during the Korean War, told the Office of Air Force History in 1984. Dean Rusk, a supporter of the war and later secretary of state, said the United States bombed “everything that moved in North Korea, every brick standing on top of another.” After running low on urban targets, U.S. bombers destroyed hydroelectric and irrigation dams in the later stages of the war, flooding farmland and destroying crops.

Although the ferocity of the bombing was criticized as racist and unjustified elsewhere in the world, it was never a big story back home. U.S. press coverage of the air war focused, instead, on “MiG alley,” a narrow patch of North Korea near the Chinese border. There, in the world’s first jet-powered aerial war, American fighter pilots competed against each other to shoot down five or more Soviet-made fighters and become “aces.” War reporters rarely mentioned civilian casualties from U.S. carpet-bombing. It is perhaps the most forgotten part of a forgotten war.''

 

You missed the illuminati and the aliens who implanted themselves.

 

Am I the only one who finds it tragically absurd that so many Americans are so eager to destroy countries half way around the world under the pretext of "defending freedom" while those same Americans are so sadly indifferent to the insidious erosion of our freedoms at home?
