I'm American and mine certainly has gone down. I doubt I'm alone.
It was a nice place in the right light but now, it’s hard to be very proud. All I feel is shame.
That light was burnt out and up someones ass by the time I was born. I never once seen us not intentionally fuck everything up as much as humanly possible.
The stuff my parents and grandparents were proud of is dead and desiccated and we are trapped in the meat husk.
You are not alone in that.
What did you like about it before?
wonder if fireworks companies report season sales numbers
My completely subjective and not at all data driven experience of how many I feel I heard this year as opposed to previous years is at least the same. Possibly more. Though I live in a fairly conservative area.
Same in the Bay Area in California, too. Maybe people are in denial, maybe they just like an excuse to shoot off fireworks, maybe both.
No negative x axis
What happened with Nigeria?
Nigeria has been taken over by Christian taliban. They love Trump particularly because they hate gay people.
Any good sources you could share for reading about this?
being a scammer is now cool
I wish the chart included more countries. I found the source data at Pew Research, and they only include 24 countries, unfortunately.
Not including Ukraine in there is a crime.
Or Russia...
No Denmark (or the classic "No Data" Greenland)? Especially after those annexation remarks?
No surprise for Canada after the 51st state rhetoric, and both Canada and Mexico are watching our shared neighbour march into fascism, it is looking really bad from here.
Also no China.
Also from here!
Well it is, by the dictionary definition, a terrorist state.
Mexico:
Canada:
Sweden:
My view was unfavorsble since the iraq war
Which one?
2003
Remember disliking Bush a lot for it, thought it couldn't get worse....
Nah, nah man you gotta get into the 1990s. Gulf War I. Gee Atche Dubz. No bullshit WMD fear mongering, no fake testimony from Colin Powell just good ol’ steamrolling all media outlets and marching on in there because oil.
I was too young for the pre-2000 american terrorism
Oh it was great, you had one side going “No blood for oil!” and the other side going “USA! USA!” and all kinds of predictable pre-social-media-hellscape bullshit.
Of course the new war smell wore off quickly and Bush the First didn’t even get a second term out of it.
Based Sweden. Kenya is oddly supportive, even now. Australia has always hated us more than the average, it seems. Well, they were proven right.
i'm surprised we were that high to begin with, and that we've dropped so low
i don't see people constantly hating on america, nor did i see people talk particularly highly about it in the past, all i see is politicians being a constant level of placatingly neutral
When I was growing up, I lived in Germany for 10 years as my dad was a civilian employee of the Army. Back then I missed being home, but now that the US has fully shit the bed I'm glad I was able to experience the perspective of being outside the US. It's so huge and has had so much influence for so long that it's easy to think of it as the center of the universe when you're living here. I know better. And now I wish I had the means to be outside of it again and stay there.
As an American feeling like I'm drowning in malignant insanity and stupidity, I know which 5 countries I'm avoiding.
Reads like a fascism roadmap honestly.
Half of the mexicans who held positive views changed their opinion. Oof.
Yeah, all of them should have.
Whether it'll be enough to send their sales numbers plummeting and for @buyeuropean@feddit.uk to be more than just a phrase in a decade remains to be seen. If the USAians vote for a democratic candidate, things will go back to normal like nothing ever happened. US surveillance companies will be as loved as before with people breathing a sigh of relief "Finally someone to trust again".
things will go back to normal like nothing ever happened
No, I don't think they will, nor should they. Irreparable damage has been done.
Those are way higher numbers than I would expect for any county.
I'm not just shitting on US, just in general I think those are high numbers of opinionated people - the methodology prob excludes or doesn't offer neural views, just a positive or negative look ... as two options total, not as a range of how much one views a country positively or negatively. For example, a country that a lot of people see barely favourably would still score high?
Justifiably so.
Isn't it on the rise in Russia though? Odd that they would leave that out.
I guess Germany was only so low before already because it probably was declining since 2016. Most Germans recognise a facist when they see one.
Idk, seems about a fifth of them can't recognize fascism when it comes home.
Now add until the 70s
