Why do Americans equate "anti-American with "bad"?

and American with "good"?

America and Americans are no better or worse than many other nations in the world. Patriotism is admirable in everyone, but Americans get sickening about it. If one looks at the twenty-five wealthiest democracies in the world, America ranks low in quite a few categories. what other nation would say "That's anti-Swedish" "That's anti-Brazilian" "That's anti-Australian"

Don't hurt your arms patting yourselves on the back.

    They/ you are all assholes. You think you are superior to everyone because of your good economy etc.Your government feeds you with lies if you look at all the **** youve done throughout history especially in the Cold War you'll see how you always like to come put smelling of roses. Amwricans are self important and generally a pain in the ****. I am British and Zambian and I know Beits dis awful things but America has really ****** up the world. America is so self important and despite being a democracy is full of hipocracy so anyone anti anerican has to become the enemy because Anerica is 'perfect'. You are all such bigots with huge egos.

    So you don't think being anti (i.e bigoted) towards a people or country is bad? You have a warped mindset.

    Funny how you act like you know Americans and what they think. The only knowledge you have of Americans is based on what you see in the media. You are brainwashed. There are 315 million Americans and you've never met 99.99% of them.

    America ranks high many more qualities than it ranks low in. America dominates just about every industry in the world. It is number one in technological innovation, foreign investment, patents filed, entertainment, manufacturing, finance, elite universities, top corporations, number of millionaires and billionaires, and GDP. It ranks 3rd in productivity, 4th in percentage of those with a college degree, and 6th in per capita income.

    You revolve you life around American products. Look, you're on an American website right now.

    "what other nation would say "That's anti-Swedish" "That's anti-Brazilian" "That's anti-Australian"

    Well they would if morons like you bashed it every chance like what you do to America. It's ok, you are only revealing your insecurity. It's funny how pathetically obsessed you people are with Americans. The attention you devote to America only shows how important the country is... and how irrelevant your country is.

    Don't be bitter just because USA is the global hegemon and you come from a 2nd rate country that exists in its shadows.

    If i can make a guidance guide....: How about we take those type of human beings that evaluate the US as a 'Christian in basic terms' u . s ., and set them to at least one position, and all the different US voters to a distinct position. Then we will see how issues pan out, at the same time as they have none yet their own to push down and condemn. they'll see the soundness and team spirit between the US, and the phobia and loathing of their own Divided States. Cue an invasion contained in the call of God, inspite of it being un-biblical, and a lengthy civil warfare, because the sorrowful supply in to their jealousy. Oh nicely...we tried. there is in basic terms about not some thing that is executed, yet to climate their bitter tongues, and understand in basic terms love for them. faith isn't any element in citizenship. in truth, Pagans have as a lot precise to the Earth as Christians do. Pagans in basic terms instruct better appreciation for the right to Earth. ((((hugs)))) ~Loving mild~
