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.

Oh no, America DOES hate the British, it's just that they hate the French even more, and the French hate the Brits, so America is content in a.. let's call it a peace treaty with the Brits until France has been dealt with.

And some peoples ask me why I'm so anti-american after that kind of french bashing BS ...

Still mad we haven't followed them in their disaster of a war in Irak ? Still haven't found any mass destruction weapons btw, Sadam hiden those very well it seem ...

Don't ask me, I'm not American.
I'm mad because fries are called French when it was Belgium where they were invented.

Yeah, that's why I've edited, haven't seen the american flag on your profile.

And for fries, I know it's from Belgium. Not our fault if americans think it's french ...

Belgium has so little to it's name, food is basically our specialty, what else are we supposed to pride ourselves on? Being the country of origin of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ inventor of plastics? And now the big ♥♥♥♥-off continent of so-called modernity thinks one of our mot popular foods is French!
Oh and I'm from the Dutch-speaking part, hating anything that speaks Fr*nch is just in my DNA (This is a joke, clearly, if someone thought reporting would be cool)

The UK doesn't hate the US. The US has a 64% favorability rating in the UK as per Pew's 2022 spring survey.

And no, the US doesn't hate the UK either (86% favorability per Gallup's 2023 Feb survey).

aren't fries african, like cocoa powder?

fried food has been a staple for a long time, and tubers aren't all that different from one another a lot of the time. potatos and starchy roots almost identical, some even in the nightshade family, are common all throughout africa.

ah well that is the ingenious thing. Iran has some potent weapons and they have some strong influence now in Iraq since Saddam was removed and in a kind of indirect way Iraq / Iran could have them together now.

Well, belgians invented the saxophone, the body mass index and the two-stroke engine too. If you want to be proud of something else.

No, they aren't, potatoes come from south america, were imported in Europe and belgians invented fries. Africans weren't, even remotely, a part of the process.

french - to cut (green beans) in thin lengthwise strips before cooking. It is a common cooking term, but not common in every day language.

Cocoa is also from the Americas for that matter...

We kicked their asses with a bunch of farmers and don't you ever forget it

farmers are notoriously dangerous and difficult to engage though. they halted several different major powers for days or even weeks at a time in several different fronts. all because barnhouses are compeltely and ridiculously op.

yep and with the mercenaries and with the funds from France.

there was a battle that was brilliantly done.
British take the town Americans pull out and in what is an amazing timing they had been getting big guns across and in position from who knows where it was a journey and the locals had been making bundles of sticks and stuff as defense and put them all together and sat on the hills with the guns pointing at the now 'British' town and the community made wall of defense while the British were partying come morning the British wake up look up and for once the British knew not even their bayonet charge was going to take those guns out.
