    Shit, I’m American and even I’m anti-American.

    I’m a human before I’m an American and America isn’t acting very humane.

    Act like trash, get treated like trash.

    Huh, weird. who could have guessed acting like a douche would make people hate you? It’s almost as if everyone could see this coming.

      Same here. If I don’t want to do research, I just pick the store brand of whatever I’m buying. It’s usually the cheapest anyway and quality varies from exactly the same to passable. So far only the cold-brew tea and the artifical sweetener were really not acceptable, but non-American alternatives exist for both.

    Wow its like US culture was only held up by goodwill from USAID, NIH, and weapons donations to ukraine and it turns out people think the US is otherwise a bunch of billionaire sex perverts and their wage slaves when you dismantle those things.

    Easy solution: Don’t be a dick to regular humans and human rights and the Anti-American Sentiment will fade.
    You were always the front-runner for democracy and peace, but making a 180 since january all of a sudden is, yeah, not chillaxt at all… Youknow?

    So you’re telling me that if we make the world hate us, they might send us less money?

    Well, electing a strongman politician while abolishing goodwill programs that project soft power tends to have consequences for your economy. Mostly negative consequences, but hey, at least you get to wear a red ballcap that says your country is the bestest ever and all other countries suck mud, right?

    I have been living and working in Asia for over 20 years. The anti-American sentiment is the highest now compared to any other time in the last 20 years.

    Is there an up to date list of brands and companies that supported trump/maga?

    I tried using publicsquare just now to search again but it seems like they took away the ability to do so, probably to stop people from boycotting fascism. And other searches don’t really bring up such lists (mostly just articles talking about the most prominent companies that are well known to have bent the knee).

      I’m not making any such distinction… I just go “if brand is USA, then buy = no”

    LW Americans love anti-Americanism yet the other day people were really trying to convince me that being anti-China as an Indian is basically a war crime

    All the gigantic tech corpos I have to deal with are American. I was having anti american sentiments before the orange dictator, but they sure are at an all time high.
