Just like a con to ignore facts including the fact that America is the most patriotic nation on earth. But cons only believe in listening to other cons.Lib trash.

I think this is just a reflection of us being a world power. The same things they said about America could maybe applied to another country, say Paraguay but no one would care. Why? Because most people have not heard about Paraguay and the country holds no relevance. America has a so much influence(political,economic, cultural, military) which many non-Americans dislike.I was getting bored with the video about halfway through. I'm sure every country has weird quirky things about it which make no sense to outsiders. If they'd look at America just like any other country, then it probably wouldn't be that big a deal. Too many people outside the US seem to have this unhealthy obsession with America, and that, just by itself, is rather strange and makes no sense. Why should so many people be concerned about little old us?
Brits, especially. What's their deal? I can perfectly understand when countries like China, Mexico, or some other victim of American imperialism might hold a grudge against us, but it always seems to be Brits (or sometimes Aussies or Canadians) who are the loudest and most strident in their criticisms of America. Why is that?

Also the article below perfectly explains Anti-Americanism in Canada and I think the reasons are similar in Britain and Australia.
Anti-Americanism | The Canada Guide
Also the author of this article is Canadian and he has a youtube channel where he makes fun of Canadian things. Its so funny to see all the Canadians lose their **** in the comment section because these same people make fun of Americans for not being able to handle a criticism or joke about America.

We have a special relationship. Nobody takes the rip out of Canada like an American, but Brits are holding our holy land hostage. We fear they might desecrate its historic sites. Britain is what passes for American History, sort-of, so they have leverage. Also we share joint custody of LOTR. There are limits to what we'll allow, however. If they get too annoying then we cut down on the number of olympic medals we let them have.Brits, especially. What's their deal?

This is certainly true but Youtube and other social media brings the worst out of everyone. I myself have been guilty of this where I have exaggerated the bad things of Europe and insulted Europe just to get them triggered and see the reactions. You will find that people are much more nicer in real life and don't hold the extreme anti-American views that they reflect on social media especially anonymous ones.I can understand it if people have disagreements or disputes with the U.S. government. Many Americans also have such disagreements with their governments. But they seem to lump all of America together into a single monolithic, amorphous entity. To me, I think it's only certain sections of America which they're referring to, usually revolving around what they see in American media (both news and entertainment). So, they're not really getting the full story or the perspective that one would get from living here. All they see is what they want to see.
That video speaks for me. Crazy country is the USLearned some new things and am not shocked, a true American.
Ah...planet America.Perhaps they need to travel more to appreciate how different they really are.....?

Weird that so many don't take gun safety seriously.10. US Toddlers Shoot One Person a Week
This is strange, but the same kind of laws exist in some European countries. It was believed at one point that only people with abnormally low intelligence and mental illness would engage in it, so psychiatrists recommended it being "legal" to avoid jailing people who had enough trouble with their life to begin with. There is a drive to make it illegal again.9. Bestiality is Still Legal in 9 US States (but premarital sex is outlawed)
Not that weird. People waste their attention and money in sports in other countries as well.8. The Highest Paid Public Employee in 39 States is a Sports Coach
That's a good thing. Less pollution from travel if you're happy at home. More people should stay in their countries.7. Over Half of All Americans Don’t Hold a Valid Passport
Although my country's healthcare is "famous", it's lost most of that with bad governments. A decade ago I've had to save money on health care and instead spend money on food, couldn't afford it.6. 30% of Americans Prefer Saving Money to Vital Medical Treatment
It's weird, but it's not only in the US. Rapists certainly don't deserve anything of the sort.5. 7 States Have Custody Rights for Rapists
Only bad if they're ignorant patriots which is what this youtuber assumes.4. America Has More Self-Identified Patriots than Anywhere Else on Earth
That's not weird in a civilized country, with few rats.3. Americans are More Likely to Get Bitten by Other Americans than Rats
It's weird, but so is garbage food in general.2. Americans Take ‘Fast Food’ Extremely Literally
That's weird, if it's really going on still.1. Government Departments Have Official Advice for Reporting Elvis Sightings
