I'm an American and I also have an unfavorable view of the USA

Don't get me wrong though, I don't hate America. I'm not unhappy in America. My day-to-day life in America is not bad at all

It's just, there are a lot of idiots here and it's exhausting being surrounded by them

Like I turn on my TV and I see a commercial for "Patriot Glasses". They are, "Tactical Sunglasses" and the advertisement claims that Navy Seals and shit use them so if you're a real Patriot you need them too. And the commercial is a guy driving his truck through the mud and shit... just idiot shit for idiot people and damn, it sucks there's enough idiots like that out there that somebody is marketing products like this to them

The World Cup is on Fox and there are commercials featuring that UFC guy talking about how America is bad ass because we're loud and say what we want to say because we're not pansies... it's absurd. Makes me wonder if people in England turn on the TV and see a guy dressed like a Red Coat talking about how bad ass it is to be Posh before he tries to sell you the Queens Tea Cups or whatever

Nope. Mostly gambling adverts. Every other advert, some cuntrag gambling company.

Why aren't you gambling? It's easy, we have an app for it so you can do it on the sly and everything. Do it. Gamble now, all your friends are doing it. Look at all these joyous people gambling, don't you want to be like them? Gamble now!

Not interested. Will never be interested. The more I get advertised a thing, the less interested I get; one of the few useful artefacts of my spergness. Advertising genuinely doesn't have the desired affect on me, it just annoys me and I mentally blacklist any product that advertises at me.

The entire advertising industry is a cancer on humanity as far as I'm concerned. A net drain of resources that serves no purpose other than to prop up the throwaway consumerism that's destroying the only place in the universe known for certain to support life.

Fuck all that shit.

Seen the one where the guy hears a car alarm chirp and it triggers his gambling impulse? Like, he hadn't been thinking about it but every day sounds can bring on the urge. That is absolutely advertising an addiction, crazy that this shit is legal, especially given that they get upset with me for using small doses of opiates to get through my day.

70% of Americans have an unfavorable view of the USA.

[-] Canconda@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

Well 38% of Americans need to get off their asses and vote. Cuz only 22% of Americans voted for him in 2024.

[-] Soulg@ani.social 4 points 5 days ago

A large part of the problem (but not the only problem) is the constant suppression being done by Republicans at every step. If we just had compulsory voting and a day off to vote then they'd never win again. That's why they keep doing everything they can to prevent people from voting.

[-] Canconda@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Fully agree. Look at the social-democracies with the highest rates of satisfaction and they all have >90% voter turnouts and sometimes mandatory voting.

This chart is an inverted 'quality of life' chart. Weird, I wonder how that happened...

Poland, failing again. 55% are fucking idiots, MAGA will abandon your asses if the Russians spill across the border.

[-] Napster153@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Poland and getting shafted continuosly in history is a trend I'm noticing.

Yeah, I'm so disappointed with that score...

[-] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 9 points 6 days ago

As an Australian, that's a depressingly high favourability rating :(

We have US military bases in Australia, we've already successfully been invaded.

[-] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 3 points 6 days ago

Yeah I want them gone too mate.

I’m sick to death of their grievance and froth politics.

What's wrong with the other third!?

[-] SoloPhoenyx@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Funny coincidence. That's about how many of us Americans have an unfavorable view of the USA.

I'm happy to see Japan that low on the list. I was expecting them to be right underneath Israel.

An intellectual shithole called Alberta.

[-] Yttra@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Alberta, usually. Plenty of pro-Trumpers around the country though.

Last I actually spoke to one in person last year, they said the administration was "getting rid of corruption and waste" rather than doing the exact opposite.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

THE FUCK YOU ALBERTANS DOING TO MY BELOVED BANFF

[-] Yttra@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

They're far too busy infighting over rigged referendums and secession talks to worry about something as ridiculous and inconsequential as the environment and its preservation, silly!

Suprising that Europe is bottom

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

66%. This seems low.

I suspect they were being polite.

[-] motogo@feddit.dk 2 points 5 days ago

Denmark is left out because?

how the fuck is brazil this favorable

[-] diaphragmwp@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I wonder why there's Israel and Russia but not Palestine and Ukraine. And why "never heard of it" counts as compliment...

[-] ddplf@szmer.info 3 points 6 days ago

"Jewish people actually hate their Netanyahu and Trump"

Well appearently these jewish aren't living in Israel.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 days ago

There are protest across Israel, more than Anti Trump protests in the USA.

[-] HrabiaVulpes@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Ashamed to see my country still holding mostly favourable views of USA, but then again many people here don't have access to more information sources than state TV and perhaps some local press.

Here's a rare instance of being proud to be at the bottom of the list

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 6 days ago

Boycott US

2524 readers
2 users here now

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
