Please state why the USA is one of the most hated nations in the world. Thank you for your time and your thoughts.

EDIT: Now that all of these America Haters have taken the bait I would like to post my response.

America is a melting pot. It is possibly the most diverse nation in the entire world. America is full of people from all around the world with different cultures and different ideologies so when you stereotype America or Americans you are actually stereotyping your own people. cheers.

Because it has been the/a superpower since early 1900s.

Obesity :D

Because it has been the/a superpower since early 1900s.

This. It's natural that whoever's on top gets the most hate and criticism.

Well here's some reasons:

1. People hate AMERICANS for OUR GOVERNMENT"S ORDERS (Ex: Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.).
2. We have more freedoms.
3. We were founded on Christian ideas, which pissed the living fuck off of Allah.
4. No one knows the average real American
5. They've never been to Chicago, or they'd be scared.
6. As Benjamin said, we've been a superpower since the early 1900's, which is offensive to places like France and the UK who once had the world in their grasp until they had King George III and Napoleon, who were total dumb fucks, you can't tax tyrannically without rebellion or expect to survive war with over half of Europe.
7. Obama
8. Trump
9. Clinton Male
10. Clinton Female
11. Bush
12. FUCKING FREEDOM!
13. Our Military.

13 reasons why the rest of the world hates/is jealous.

Because of all the horrible shit we've done in the past, including but not limited to

• Slavery, although that wasn't really a USA-specific problem
  
• Dropping two nukes on Japan
  
• Putting the Japanese in internment camps during WWII, which were basically concentration camps but without the killing
  
• Invading Mexico and taking a ton of their land in our bullshit quest for "manifest destiny"
  
• Destroying/killing Native American lives/stealing their land
  
• Our continuous love for guns causing ridiculously loose gun control laws despite the repeated mass shootings in schools and theaters
  
• Our fucked up "war on terror" when we invaded countries like Iraq and caused thousands of civilian casualties for no real reason
  
• Horribly torturing innocent people in secret to gain information that largely ended up being false
  
• Trump
  
• All the idiots who support people like Trump
  
• And anything else the government keeps hush-hush to make sure we never realize how messed up they are

it think it is because we have and they don't have.

They're just jealous of our fine cuisine.

2. We have more freedoms.
3. We were founded on Christian ideas, which pissed the living fuck off of Allah.

9. Clinton Male
10. Clinton Female
11. Bush
12. FUCKING FREEDOM!
13. Our Military.

1. Yeah.
2. Originally, America had more freedoms than average country (not saying much), but now, can be argued it is on a very lower end.
3. No, antiAmerica Muslims are just sick of the American "Christian ideals" coming and "freeing" their country, - why not bomb some Roma skyscrapers if Muslims hate Christianity so much? There hasn't even been a public assassination try on the Pope since the 1980s.
4. This can be applied to 95% of countries that you don't live in/have never been to, yet.
5. (Thinking America's got the extremes of everything)
6. Not so much for France, but Britain, yes. You see the same thing with Portugal-Brazil and Spain-Mexico.
7. Obama, he is the two evils' lesser; It's Bush who everyone hated.
8. Folk don't hate Russia for Kadyrov's "interesting" remarks or deeds, just like folk don't hate America for Trump: not too many have heard of them, though they're somewhat important folk (Ramzan Kadyrov is Chechnya's president, done some interesting things and said them, too.).
9/10: Ditto.
11. Yes.
12. (This phrase and attitude)
13. Military deeds*

I barely know who Trump is, just that he's some controversial bloke running in a faraway presidential election.

He will build wall to compete with China, all you need to know.

There has been shit done by every nation and civilization. I believe Nikolai's question pertains as to why the US specifically gets called out on it.

An old statistic stated that America is 15th best place to live, and places 13 - 18 on how "free" countries were. It's probably about the same even now.

Most countries are "free", as long as you speak of domestic politics privately.

RWB puts America at 49th place for freedom, #1 is Finland (North Europe in general is high, though), lowest is Eritrea #180.

I made my own list of best countries to live in, excluding any personal effects, top 20:

1. Qatar
2. Bahrain
3. Iceland
4. Norway
5. Netherlands
6. Denmark
7. Luxemburg
8. Emirates
9. Canada
10. Liechtenstein
11. South Korea
12. New Zealand
13. Britain
14. Monaco
15. Australia
16. Andorra
17. Sweden
18. Switzerland
19. Kuwait
20. Germany

Bush

ppl hated the us before of bush...

i believe american empire (the player) is the responsible for it, he says that people dont know the average american, but thats because ppl like him obfuscate them

edit: ppl around the world are stupid to

I have a few ideas

1. America sticks its nose in all sorts of international problems which it stays in too long or doesn't belong
2. The Westboro Baptist Church. That's what some people think US Christians are like
3. Our lack of a unified culture (America's mostly a melting pot)
4. Our number of shootings and pride of our guns
5. It took the United States this long to legalize gay marriage
6. The ideals that the US is the center of World History (like when Americans take all the credit for winning WWII, despite the fact that many more French, British, and millions of Soviets died compared to the US death toll)
7. The need for other countries to make stuff for us
8. The US's view on sex and violence
9. The Us sometimes stereotyping other countries
10. Our inefficient government system

That's the big ones

reasons i hate US
it hates any other country that becomes a super power
it tells lies to the whole world
it doesn't care about any of their 'allies' they only care about themselves
Us citizens are EXTREMELY racist
US citizens think all Muslims are terrorists
US is full of pride
they take credit for everything even when they didn't do anything (WW2 they don't deserve that much credit)
they make everyone else look bad by telling lies through media
they kill millions of innocent people but say they're peaceful
they make good country's like Russia and China look bad when they are the real threat to the entire world
they don't respect anyone else's culture
they think they are the most supreme
they make serials movies etc that show other country's as villains
and alot of other stuff too

despite of the specific points in which he mght be wrong, you are even worst irony

Many of these are just untrue assumptions. We only care about ourselves? There is quite a lot of people worrying for Israel after our glorious president let Iran have nuclear resources.

Russia and China. Good countries. Pick one. That's not to say the US is an innocent little flower, but if you believe Russia and China to be good countries, then you may be the one deceived by the media.

Allies would not have won had either Britain, Russia, or the USA not been involved in the war.

EXTREMELY RACIST? No. There are bad apples in the bunch, but no.

I could go on, but I think that one of the reasons everyone hates the US is because of people like this spreading baseless qualms and grievances against the US.

5. It took the United States this long to legalize gay marriage

I hate how people bring up Gay Marriage like it's currently a world standard. This isn't like the metric system where America is the last country resisting, the world is still very much divided on the matter.



Nevermind that the other two superpowers in the world haven't legalized it. Never mind that some of the GLORIOUS European countries haven't legalized it. The U.S is such a backwards nation for taking this long. Guess we're better than most of the world by this kind of bench-marker though.
