Why do the British hate the Americans so much while Americans adore Brits?

[BigBallinChester]

I'll never understand this, they hate Americans and practically foam at the mouth towards them. This is present in almost all British TV,Media and News. Meanwhile Americans tend to like British folks and their Media. It always seemed weird to me.

Americans don't adore Brits. We just judge people based on the content of the individual. Adoring or hating an entire group of people based on some kind of fantasy, good or bad, you've built up for them in your mind is just silly. I have only neutral opinions as a basis.

yeah but trusting the UK is just dumb. it's like trusting NK or Russia, but the UK has a worse track record that's gone on longer.

does the US make dumb mistakes like trusting everyone because individual diplomats seem okay enough?

You're actually just substituting English and Japanese attitudes towards foreign women here.

I'd say French as well, but the French perspective is to value fat. Still big proponents of sexual tourism; probably extincted the Neanderthals all on their own.

I don’t know what you’re trying to say. I’m just reporting on how Americans view other nations.

no, no, they often get scrutinized twice as much and the content of their character is valued even more specifically because of categorical repression directed at them.

you're thinking of poor people, who are often but not always black or brown.

Do Americans really adore the British?

Or is it Downton Abbey they really like?

Oh gosh well One must try One's best to uphold the keeping of appearances I see.

I wouldn't know; I've been gaslit so many times that it's a foundational aspect of my psyche not to trust anyone.

We get a Tory party in that is the 'right leaning' party and they dismantle the armed forces and keep cutting the navy even now they about to reduce amphibious craft for the Royal Marines.

The left of the party are more likely to build the forces but after however many years over ten years of the tories that is going to take over a decade to get back to strength and of any real use to the USA.

and it would take about 5 years for the US to fully disentangle themselves from the entire world's hatred they've been shielding the UK from.

so the Uk is simply making that process take as long as possible so they can build up an armed force that will never, ever, not in a million years be enough.

Really?

Yes the American Invasion of Iraq really was a stinker for the British actually and the American handling of Afghanistan didn't help things either.

Leaving the EU was British and rather foolish and people are slowly realising the EU not perfect but better than what was promised by the Brexiteers.

You are wrong and we all know it.

Prove me wrong then. It’s hard to like a country that insists that it exploit you or else get bombed.

That's why the US should leave NATO and let Europe deal with it's own problems. Then we can point our fingers in shame at the messes Europe creates like two world wars (almost 3), Bosnia, Serbia, Ukraine, the damage European imperialism did to Africa, Asia, the Middle East, etc.

It's not much different than how Europe sent all it's factories to China, now point their fingers at the Chinese and complain about all the pollution they're creating making Europe's electronics.

There's a difference between the UK, and citizens of the UK. I do not trust governments at all, or the people who run them, but people all over the world, excluding ideological extremists, are generally decent people anywhere you go. Wars are created by governments and politicians, not citizens.

The EU took measures to instead of being neutral on the matter, make it as difficult as they possibly can on the people in the UK, and many ideologues in government have intentionally slow walked the process in order to try to claim they told brexiters they were right. And even with all of that considered, it hasn't even come close to a fraction of the doom and gloom that the media was promising people if the UK left. Don't forget that, people on both sides wanted the British people to suffer for it, and they haven't.

Last I checked America sent their factories to China first.

In fact, your description of Europe sounds resoundingly like a criticism of America.

In any case, hatred of the world’s biggest imperialist nation is natural when you’re under its boot.

well the citizens aren't asking for my trust; british citizens live in britain, and the government decides their fate.

tough tits for them but nobody's going around being nice to american citizens are they?

of course not some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rothschilde reject would come along and suck all that goodwill up with a straw because nobody thinks anything more of them than what they scrape off their shoes when they're around and it's only by making themselves inseparable from the country that people are forced to say good things about them by association.

which is absurd; nobody's talking about joe beansman or fred plumbing when they talk about the uk or us; they're talking about the top 1%.

Why would people going around being rude to American citizens? And if they're going around treating Americans like crap because they're Americans then it says more about them as a person than it does the Americans.
