    Shit, I’m American and even I’m anti-American.

    I’m a human before I’m an American and America isn’t acting very humane.

    Act like trash, get treated like trash.

    Wow its like US culture was only held up by goodwill from USAID, NIH, and weapons donations to ukraine and it turns out people think the US is otherwise a bunch of billionaire sex perverts and their wage slaves when you dismantle those things.

    All the gigantic tech corpos I have to deal with are American. I was having anti american sentiments before the orange dictator, but they sure are at an all time high.

      For profit corporations will always support fascism given the chance. It’s no coincidence Mussolini called it corporatism.

      Isn’t managing brand awareness and reputation… you know, a fundamental part of running basically just most businesses with large consumer bases?

      Gee, its almost like these people with ‘executive’ or ‘president’ or ‘head’ somewhere in their job titles are all fucking morons who are bad at their jobs, by their own description and metrics they use to describe them!

      Bonus Anarcho-Syndicalist 'hot take'

      The solution isn’t to replace those particular people.

      The problem is not those particular people.

      The problem is a wildly unbalanced and codified system of power dynamics.

      The solution is a radical restructuring of for profit corporations into democratic worker cooperatives of some kind where workers elect their leaders.

      Unions, as currently implemented in the US, are generally laughably useless in terms of… you know, actually doing the things they are supposed to do.

      This shit will never end and hypercapitalism will drive us all into early graves unless we do something a bit more more radical.

      ‘Radical’ meaning: To address the root cause, instead of the effects.

      … And for any liberals reading, no, no the oligarchs will not just agree to do this after a passionate speech or ‘insightful’ op-ed in the Atlantic.

      You need to have what is called leverage.

      In this context, that means a credible threat of violence.

      One of course hopes this threat has to only ever remain as a threat.

      Sorry, I didn’t write these rules, human history did.

    I have been living and working in Asia for over 20 years. The anti-American sentiment is the highest now compared to any other time in the last 20 years.

    Well, electing a strongman politician while abolishing goodwill programs that project soft power tends to have consequences for your economy. Mostly negative consequences, but hey, at least you get to wear a red ballcap that says your country is the bestest ever and all other countries suck mud, right?

      Good, fuck America in general. The world absolutely needs less reliance on central powers like America and China and hopefully everybody can work on improving.

    The American’t boycotting will continue until they have their own little-engine-that-could revolution, kick the fascism to the curb, and adjust the perception of their own importance and contributions to the world.

    It might even last a little longer than all that. The message must be understood.

    I will personally never set foot in that cursed country again in my life.
