US always been complained as the cop of the world by the other countries. But I didn't see any American shamed about that.

I am not sure why people hate the US so much. Almost always, we never hear something positive about the US despite of the evidence. Is it fancy to hate the US these days?

  It is one part lack of perspective and one part revolting against the establishment. We live in times of peace, prosperity and human rights thanks to US indoctrination and global military umbrella.

    At this very moment, there are 60 war zones. I don’t know of any armed conflict that doesn’t baffle basic human rights, and doesn’t screw up the economy of the country where this happening. (I did not downvote btw)

  US is the most hypocrite country in the world. Its people are the most stupid, ignorant, greedy, unhappy, entitled and racist in the West. The US (along with its other English speaking allies) are a shit-stain on Western culture. Few Americans actually understand the real America (Chris Hedges, Noam Chomsky, etc) but nobody listens to them because the majority is brainwashed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj1-47VqgOs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj1-47VqgOs

    US is the kindest country in the world. Its people are the most hardworking, generous, good-willed, resourceful, diligent, heterogenous, ethical in the West. There, I can throw a lot of adjectives at it as well.

  Because for the last few decades it has been a destabilising force in the world, engaging in wars of aggression, arming and propping up dictators, using its economic might to bully smaller nations and generally just being all round jingoistic and obnoxoius. It's a nation that epitomises the phrase "Do as I say, not as I do" and surprise suprise, people hate that shit.

  Yeah. The cool kids hate the popular stuff. It's been like that for as long as I can find out. I think it just comes with the territory. You have people shitting on China, US, Russia, then the next post is people shitting on the people shitting on China, US, Russia. The next post is something about Canada being so different than (insert superpower here) if they were a superpower, but the next comment is saying that they would be no different. In the end, I'm pretty sure it's all stupid bullshit that really doesn't matter. I really doubt that any of these comments are going to change the world. I'm also pretty sure that there isn't a single country in this world that is all flowers and sunshine. Every place has their dirty laundry, and every place is made up of so many different pieces that it's almost always a poor call to say "that entire country is bad." So very much like this comment, it adds nothing of value to the conversation. It's usually just people trying to "one up" others on the internet of whatever reason they feel to defend the place they like better than the others. Some are really good, insightful and well researched comments, don't get me wrong, but damn near every single thread about anything like this devolves into my side is better than your side after a short period of time. Another example is people vehemently defending their color (red / blue) and saying that the color the other person likes better (red / blue) is the worst. I may be stupid and naive, but I do believe that there is a happy medium somewhere. Then again, my opinions don't matter to some because of where I was born I guess. /before people get upset I'm guilty of it as well. I'm guilty of all of the things I'm bitching about. I do try to change though because isn't that a part of growing up? Learning and changing to make the world (something of) a better place? Anyway, as far as I can tell, it's just some newfangled tribe mentality and a bit of the ol' sunk cost fallacy. Who really likes being told they're wrong about something they are heavily invested in? I still get that feeling when reading some comments that that person can't be right, but I stop, read and maybe that comment is the one that changes my POV or maybe not. The mind is still very mysterious.

  Well US is one kind and possible the only kind of nation on the planet that is polarise on every front. It had some of the best medical technologies advancement, but also zero social health scare benefits and expensive that you can't afford it. It has some of the smartest people while also dumbest, they have some who are kind, quiet and hard working while others are rude, loud, and I may call them crazy. Basically US is a nation of both heavens and hell. So focus on all the bad parts of US, some focus on all the good parts.
