> Much of the world doesn't actually enjoy living under total American hegemony Worded like that, yes. But purely anecdotally, having had the chance to visit 35 countries, and having talked to a lot of people about world issues, I've seen nothing but good will and friendliness towards the American people for the most part. In fact, I very regularly get words of encouragement from regular folks in other countries who feel pity for us and wish we'd be "back to normal" (not debating the merits of that statement here). It's hard to overstate how deeply influential and strong is American culture in other countries, and the sense of friendship that that has forged over decades, even if it's not always reciprocated.
