Anti-Americanism used to be called Un-American. Both are supposed to make you feel you don't belong, you're not one of us, you're maybe not even totally human. They are used against people considered to be not supporting their own Government, on the theory that the Goverment is doing what is best, so people against this are against doing the best, so against themselves and their fellow Americans.
Don't feel alone in this, other countries use similar expressions.
It is meant to make you toe the line. In actual fact if you are thus accused you can be fairly sure there are things going they cannot explain or justify to you with facts and reason. Maybe going against them on the actual items is a mistake (but how are you to know if they're not telling you the details) but you'd certainly be justified going against them for hiding the facts from you, not trusting you, and treating you like an idiot....Show more

I really doubt if any citizen from whatever country trust their
government. As for disliking Americans. That is taught to
children. Hating the US is a must in other country's.
If a American citizen hates it's own country they should be
shown how it is else wear. I have been all around the world, I
have as a soldier if they hated American people and the
answer is usually the same. Yes, when others are visiting and
then they talk about cool music and movies and video games
and all the food we have. And so it goes....Show more

if you hate what america stands for like the freedom of speech or freedom of expression. hating freedom and liberty is definitely anti americanism.
