Americans really think they own the world sometimes, and truly underestimate the disdain the world has for them.
That is the opposite of unpopular.
We really don't have disdain for the Americans. Most Americans I've met have been great.
I, as someone in a third world country, absolutely hate US foreign policy. Fuck you, we almost had a democracy for a minute. We didnβt need your highways either.
But you canβt blame these actions in the people of the US, as nor the army nor the FBI, CIA, and the other three letters are democratic.
Yeah this is not an unpopular opinion, especially on a site like this.
Until they want something. Then it's hands out pls send tanks daddy.
We do own the world, and its not that we don't underestimate their disdain for us, we just don't care because we don't have to
We are special
And vice versa. Stop asking America for money.
