@@Dargoneth Really depends on where you live. I grew up in a low income area, it was more dangerous. I worked my way out and now live in a safer but more expensive area.
As a brit, 90% of the Americans I've met are incredibly kind people. I think a lot of the dislike comes from the oversaturation of brain rot content we see online and in the media that comes from America.
Agreed. I'm a union electrician American and I know I'm an idiot in many ways......but I'm nothing compared to those ticktock rot idiots who somehow make many many.....many times what I make breaking my back building/rebuilding/restoring and just keeping things running that the main companies that own them and hire me to fix/build an such just don't want to actually properly maintain.......despite the clear results (cost) down the road. I've worked in NUKES for gods sake that clear as hell are not properly maintained......work it into the ground and sell the ashes once it burns down.....that's the company mindset I deal with all the time.....
@@maximilianadler7292 you can defend asmongold, but the fact is majority of the people don't care. no one in America gave a damn about Palestine and Israel war. until October 7, which made it a trend to hop on. the war has been going on for ages, and I've been reading about it since i was like 12 or 13. That's people on the left. The people on the right only gave a damn about it when they have a link to a conspiracy. No one actually know wtf is going on over there and only parrot the things they hear online. It doesn't matter if it's true or false. just parrot the same stuff over and over again with empty convictions.
To a certain extent GTA is a good representation of USA. I would say if you're basing this on popular urban areas like Chicago, NYC and Las Vegas. You get a good picture of which areas are dangerous based on GTA games
Maybe it is. I watch DonutOperator sometimes, and the kind of shit you see there, well, let's just say that whatever they're paying their cops it isn't enough.
The problem is when people ask Europeans, they're asking people in Paris, which is kind of like asking people in San Fransisco about what they think about Americans or Trump.
@CamilleLisoir You Guys Need To worry about Yourself And The immigrants Taking Over Your european countries from the middle east. Look whats happening in England. Yall have become so soft, and far left
Asmongold said they fought a war 250 years ago, but also remember the only reason Americans won their independence is because they got help from France. France provided crucial supplies, arms, ammunition, uniforms, troops, and naval support to the Continental Army. The financial strain from providing so much support to America literally led to the french revolution..
Sooooo we returned the favor immediately. Look up the XYZ Affair. France was full of shit and simply wanted to hurt England they didn't go about it out of the kindness of their own heart so The United States owes them nothing short of recognition for the supplies which we gave along with ALOT MORE SUPPLIES in the late 1930s and onward.
@Sgt_SealCluber nobody actually thinks Americans are all terrible people. Also yeah you have 5% of the population of the world. Of course we have heard of you
The same is true of America. People living in New York are NOTHING like people living in the Midwest. They can barely even communicate, in the same language.
Yeah, westerners usually hold a massive ego and sense of superiority, while easterns (besides Russians of course), usually sees america in a very positive way.
You can find videos of Europeans hating on America & Europeans praising America. These videos are all created by people with certain narratives they try to push. I wouldn't take any of them serious.
This is true. It's obvious that anyone who praised America would not be put in the footage. That's why these man-on-the-street interview stuff is unreliable and mostly just used for gotchas.
As someone from the Iberian peninsula, I agree. There is a narrative in the continent. Please, do not take those videos as what the majority of us think. Most people in the continent want to make a trip to the USA at least once in their live and adore your old entertainment media. The same way we share culture and values as well as other hobbies more than people think.
Being as objectively critical as you can Is very challenging for most people So a lot are just criticising situations and other cultures Based on their struggle in life,emotions etc Because in the end there is a lot of good and bad to talk about everything when it comes to a lot of countries Including Americans And one of the endgames with being Righteous Is Judging and criticising Yourself Because we all are full of flaws People just like Comfort even at the cost of Lies /;:/
Yeah that is EXACTLY why a lot of european dislike american : the arrogance, being like "we don't care about your country" but gonna spend so much money and energy to influence the politic there, the holier than thou while commit the worst atrocity on the other side of the globe P.S: The abillity to backstab ally for their own interest . like how they shanked germany on the entire ukraine situation or how they forced their way into a contrat for nuclear submarine between france and australia to finnaly deliver not nuclear submarine , less than the number originally agreed and for more money. America is a country with a young culture that just recently lost it's initial drive so is starting to corrupt and is acting more and more unhindged internationally to keep it's empire afloat
@@cyberturkey77 Do the overwhelming majority of Americans know their geography? Sarcasm doesn't work that way... I would bet the % of Americans who could point out Germany on a map isn't big at all. Single digits, maybe low double digits. And i'm talking Germany, not knowing where Estonia is, completely understandable. It's less about "Merica dumb", rather your education system doesn't look past your borders, and you don't have much time off to travel abroad either.
@@somedudeAPS World geography is taught, especially regarding Western Europe. The problem is it really isn't looked at beyond middle school typically. Europe is also looked at in depth regarding ww2 and the cold war history. Truth is beyond that, The amount that individual European countries affect people in the US on their own is negligible. The real sin of the US education system is long standing policies such as "No child left behind" nerfing curriculum to the point that students barely learn the civics of their own country, much less those found in Europe.
fyi the UK leaving the Eu is does not make them not European anymore. Europe is a continent, like Nord and South America. And when they left the EU, they did not leave the continent. They left the European Union. Kinde like is Florida left America and became independent. It would still be in Nord America; just not part of America the country.
@@KayKatsumi In many ways it actually is. I traveled some latin american countries that are considered third world. And then the US. There are so many similarities, and the things that are not similar are simply a result of putting more money into that problem. Some areas of the US are 1:1 with latin america (and no, not latino ghettos, white areas), some less so. In many European countries, you would have a hard time trying to find an area that is THAT poor and mismanaged.

The "actors" probably aren't doing what they would *normally* do, but, instead, what they *think* that *viewers* want them to do.
In my experience as a European, I think a lot of people here only think negatively about America because of Donald Trump and the current American discourse. Here, Trump is viewed as a clown of a leader. It makes us wonder...if there are people in America that support Trump...how could they be intelligent? Prior to Trump, I'd say our perception of America was mostly positive, partially because we saw American leaders that we could take seriously.
ok but from what part? I live in the west if we are out somewhere and people from the east come in talking its like holyshxt, why are you yelling at a million miles an hour you are right next to each other? But then again, they think we speak super slow and are hard to hear.
Dutch here... i like americans in general, but american culture is skewed af.

@@redalertsteve_ They are unconstitutional. There's not actually any wiggle room in that amendment. Previous generations just gave up their rights for convenience, just like people do today. It's frustrating. More to the point of OP, actually this isn't the only assumption that is untrue. FDA guidelines are different than those of Europe, but they mostly overlap, and we outlaw stuff they allow as well. Almost all "processed" food in America meet European health standards, they just don't have the same companies/marketing (though that has been gradually changing). Elections aren't decided any differently in Europe, just more politely, because direct speaking is less culturally appropriate. Superiority is constantly slung at Americans from Europe, and vice versa, that perception is just and inability to empathize/lack of self honesty (which is normal). It's also almost always facetious, another cultural difference. As for lack of regulation, unfortunately for Europe, there's just nothing like Jeffersonian ideology in Europe, and it isn't often imported, so it's just a matter of ignorance to the political climate (which is fair).
The simplest answer is the media, and we all know learning from the media is a terrible way to get your information even if it's accurate information mainly because context is left out.
Also the 😂more negative stuff gets way more attention so the media hyper focuses on that, so if you follow the news constantly you would think we are in civil war, our country is a crime ridden crap hole etc etc..

The mere fact that you lump us all into one collective called "European" does you no favours. Europe consists of lots of different countries, with different cultures, different languages.
I’m an Englishman living in ‘rural’ US. Been here 20 years. It’s not all that different really. The people generally want the same thing from their lives. They go about things in much the same way. The media rules and controls the minds of everyone in the World. Go interview people who have experienced different cultures for a while and not those who have read or watched their experiences instead of living them.
This is the same all around the world. Everyone is doing the same thing, working, paying bills, raising children, it's all the same. The environment is the biggest factor I have seen that effects different cultures and is the sculpture to their life. It's how you survive in that environment, what food you eat, how you have moulded life, how people interact and most things that people say is "unique" to them is really just nuance. They will say for example "we eat rye bread" of course you do because the grain grows better in this climate, "we have sauna" yes, because its -30 in winter, and you have trees that fuel the fire. The regular folks in every society are usually just normal everyday trying to survive.
Joe Scarborough, MSNBC; “Well and I think that the dangerous edges here are that he’s trying to undermine the media, trying to make up his own facts and it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think........ and that is our job.”
British, not white, lived in London, hated it. Moved to Berkshire loved it. Moved to Germany, loved my year there. Moved to NY in 1996, absolutely hated it. Lived in the suburbs north of NY for 6 years then moved out to deep in the countryside in another state. Been here for 20 years. Nice neighbors. For work reasons while living out here I also had an apartment in NYC for a couple years too, hated NYC even more, incredibly shitty people. I don't think I could live back in the UK, made a trip back in April after 10 years away, there is just so much wrong over there now that is also occurring in NYC. I'm glad I'm far enough away that it may be sometime before it gets here. US media and the incestuous tie in between government and corporations and media sucks donkey balls.
i'm pretty sure the latter is the prevailing opinion of the general public - minus the 'usa' chanting bit, probably - i mean, save for our leaders getting us into wars we never wanted into, most americans have very little care for the rest of the world.
Im from the Netherlands and love America, i had to agree with the lady who pointed out that the US is quite extreme though. There is never a balance, people always go for the max level when it comes to BLM, lgbtq, antifa, feminism, wierd trends. These are some things that i wish that were ignored in the EU instead of copying it.
It's not our fault. All those things you mentioned, as well as the "succeed or suck" culture are things PUSHED down our throats by the "elite" socialists. The EU isn't really "copying" anything, it's just that they want Europe as their fief too, and they've been expanding. It's why European culture has been degrading dramatically the past few years. Not sure whether it's a master plan or just copypasta, but it doesn't really matter.
Those are just the vocal, chronically online weirdos. The “middle” America where normal people live their lives are nothing like the extremism you see online. That being said, yeah, we have a small amount of absolute extremists that prioritize their identity politics over everything else and it’s sad af. Thankfully, we’re beginning to see some pushback against that (finally lol).
I'm from Italy, and I don't dislike America at all. Except the fact that when I talk to an American (which, to be fair, I've only done online), I often have the impression that everything I say is seen from the perspective of ideology. As if everything must somehow relate to American politics and must fall under one of its 2 faction for some obscure reason.
You like their guns? You like their vain nature of fame and money? I don't think you do, you have a weird view of Americans i think. They think it's their right as much as it is yours to expect dignity, to have guns to defend themselves from the state. That's how americans think.
@@imyournme6632 I think a normal American is just a normal person like you and me. The stuff we get from their media is just the worst of the worst. If the clowniest parts of my country were broadcasted to the world, we would have a horrible rep.
@@imyournme6632 I think you're the one with the weird view of Americans and are overexaggerating. The vast majority of Americans I've ever interacted with were really just good, reasonable people. I don't like guns and yeah, it's weird for me to suddenly be in a discussion about how someone is getting bullets delivered while you're gaming, but it's also rare and nowhere near like they're obsessed and just do it all the time. In that sense, there's no real problem with someone liking guns and going to the shooting range. It's archery, except the weapon is more powerful and takes a lot less effort to do. The problem seems to be that the "worst" Americans are very loud and obnoxious about it, especially when they start acting like they're entitled to being nasty, so they really stand out and make for great farmable content online.

I’ll never forget when my friend travelled to Europe and met so many amazing people. She told them all she was from Colorado. Most of them said “oh the place with all the shootings?” That’s an eye opener
I mean to be fair, i believe that obviously there is not only bad things about colorado but if you live somewhere else than in that state you pretty much only ever hear about the bad stuff and judging by how many times you hear about it, it makes sense why so many think this way.

The thing with america is that it is so fucking huge. So when someone does something in Nebraska, then someone does something in Washington and then someone in Florida, it's all "America".
We have 50 states. Delaware is part of my country, yet the complete opposite side of where I live, so whatever happens there doesn’t impact me here in Los Angeles. A lot of Europeans can take a train and be in a new country in an hour or 2. I would have to take a plate to fly to Delaware and I would be on that flight for about 7 hours average.
America is the whole continent, they are the united states of America, but they appropiated the term american.

I worked in germany for 2 years 2015-17, and he definitely did. Did we expect an honest video from someone who simps for europe so much they abandon their home to live there? Been all over the world and seen many things. Some things america could learn from but america is always my home and I love her more from it. Other countries have a lot to learn from america too.
This seems fairly consistent with the sentiment of most people I know. Yes it is exaggerated for a youtube video, but I would say that many people have trepidation about Americans. Meeting Americans is rarely a problem, but the stereotype definitely exists
Europeans don't think about America as much as they want to think we do. It's just that when we go online, we get bombarded by so much news about them that we're pretty much forced to think about it. We have our own problems, and we'd be much happier if we didn't see so much of the US.

It's nice to hear from people with experience living in the United States instead of people living abroad, *people will always misunderstand what a country is like until they live in it.*
It's a mixed bag, some Europeans love America, some don't like it, both have pretty good reasons. But listen, the guys got a point, EU is objectively a better place to live by like almost every metric. You know that pervasive worldwide thought that like "USA is the greatest country", nah.. lowkey that's been EU for a while now. It was the US for a while but it's been the EU for some time now. It's basically what the US should have become and might still someday, but at the moment the US has absolutely dogshit culture and governance, in most shapes and forms, and it keeps getting worse. But as an American I hold on and figure one day, people will get fed up and change.
I've been to the US a few times, once when I took a road trip with a mate. We went from New York to San Francisco over three months, coz we wanted to be Jack Kerouac. Was the best trip I ever took, and I met some of the nicest people, and visited quite honestly the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Stuff you Americans probably don't even think about, but for me, coming from the UK, just blew my mind. Deep South. Deserts. Appalacians. The beaches on the west coast. God damn. Sure, there are big differences between us, but there is so much in common too. I love America and the Americans I have met both here at home and in America have been some of the best people I've ever had the luck to meet.
@@patrikules1937 Would love to. It's just really expensive these days. When I retire I'd love to go back and see those states I missed out on - Nebraska, Dakota, the more northern ones. I get what Asmon says about America. When you have virtually every microclimate on earth in your own country, it sort of reduces the requirement to travel abroad. Having said that, there are so many interesting places in the world, so much history and richness in culture, that it's also great to get about if you possibly can.
This is why so many Americans don't have passports and never leave America. There is so much to do, and see here that you never need to go anywhere else. It does lead to some ignorance, though.
As an European, what i personally dislike is: - not using the metric system - only two choices for the president - news/twitter drama - cancel/woke colture - weapon law - health insurance and minimum wage (cant have both) - food quality (its a not from personal experience but there is a reason for how many obese people are there) - military/geopolitical hands everywhere (i dont know much about the topic, how and why, but i like how Europeans historically got back to Europe) But is must be said, it's so much easier to state the bad instead of the good. Also im swiss, i have some negative sentiments about the EU as well, nobody is perfect.
I mean. in her defense, being an island, Britain could be argued to not be part of continental Europe, as one way of defining continents is by continuous landmass. What is and isn't a part of a continent colloquially is arbitrary as hell.
Yes, the Americas, comprising North America, Central America, and South America, are significantly larger than Europe. The total land area of the Americas is approximately 42.55 million square kilometers, while Europe covers about 10.18 million square kilometers. Thus, the Americas are over four times larger than Europe.
@@hanselleiva You don't know that, he said America, he's accurate. if anything you're imposing your own ignorance in which you equate America only to one specific country in North America.
Mixed European here - I love Americans, visiting Arizona and Nevada was a great experience just talking to people, so much energy and politeness. Sure it’s superficial, but if you really start talking to people, they liven up and want to have fun. I admire a lot about America, I think you have many wonderful qualities that differ from state to state. I think the one thing your people lacks is some measure of humility and consideration of others, especially internally. Your pursuit of individualism has left you with hollow communities and a lack of networks. We increasingly have those issues too, but you are especially vulnerable.
I appreciate the solid perspective. Well thought out, and I concur as an American. I wish more Europeans would give balanced answers like this, instead of the stock answers they usually give. Glad you had a good time here!
Yo, as a Dane, let me just say, the American political scene is wild. Like, over here in Denmark, we keep religion outta politics. It's all about practical stuff like healthcare, education, and making sure everyone's taken care of. But in the US? So much drama is driven by religion, it's nuts! And don't get me started on the election process. I mean, seriously, only two candidates to choose from? That's it? - a dude who should probably be chillin' in a retirement home vs. someone who acts like a reality TV villain. It's kinda embarrassing tbh. We got a multi-party system here, so there's a lot more representation and coalition building. Makes for better balance and policies that reflect a wider range of views. But in the US, it's all red vs. blue, and the result is this mega-polarized, us-vs-them mentality. And let's be real, the whole "money talks" thing in US politics is messed up. Over here, we focus more on what actually benefits people rather than who's got the fattest wallet. Plus, we value secularism big time, keeping church and state separate, which honestly just makes more sense for modern governance. So yeah, from a Danish POV, the American political setup is pretty cringe. But hey, every system's got its quirks, right? Just wish the US would chill on the religious influence and maybe diversify their political scene a bit.
In the US, a party needs to have over 15% support to be more relevant. We already have the Libertarians, Greens and Socialist parties but are very small. Also, a multi-party system has it's negatives like how multiple parties can be similar but will split the vote when voting on seats. Also, a party can win or even be on the verge of winning and then a coalition from the opposition can destroy their chances and can even create deadlock.
@@anthonycooke2401 the difference however is that in the danish system you deligate mandates and each mandate brings power that means even if say trump won the elecetion kamala Harris would still have influence on decisions made. So the advantage is not really the many options but instead that every vote will sum to a rule based on the general opinion of the public. Which also encourage people to actually vote. Since even if say u voted r.f kennedy and he didn’t win he would still get mandisates which would give him power amounting to the amounts of mandates

Europe was divided after the WW2, and me being Polish I know the poor half of the Europe. Till like around 2010, we in Poland wanted that "American dream". A land of the free, home of the brave etc. We saw the monetery potential in the USA, to finally crawl out of poverty, so as some people from e.g Chicago know, there is a large community of Poles in the USA that left their home country to find a better life. So beside being free from communism, we just saw it as a opportunity to make money, and live a good life that we couldn't give to our children before. But as the information in the internet begin to spread we saw that the "american dream" is not really a "dream", it's more of a "wish". And when the BLM riots took place, that was over, our image of USA was destroyed. Cos who in the right mind would want to live in a place where they demolish whole city like it's nothing? We have a safe country, so that was really WILD for us that people could do that. So to summarize: USA in the past had a good image, now it's a clown show.
Even Americans think the American Dream is dead. That's why orange man slogan resonates with roughly half the country enough to get them to vote for him. And, economically at least, our country was much better for that American Dream back in the 70s, but half a century of mismanagement by both parties has slowly eroded our economy in comparison to what it was before.
@@liarwithagun The funny thing is that we even had songs in polish that were about "american dream", so we really were thinking about it hard. But yeah, a wrong management can destroy a economy in a moment, we also had that with our latest ruling party (a rotten to the core when it comes to money, but at least they had Polands safety in mind)

First thing what this dude does, what all Americans does in Europe -"Classifies all people as some abstraction like "Europeans" without understanding what all live in different countries with different culture, religion, history and .... We have countries, not states XD"
US is a union of states much like the EU. Each state has their own autonomy, their own governments, cultures, laws, accents, climate, attractions, and topography. To somehow think that the differentiation in The EU is a reason for the US to pay attention to each of the EU states like the world does to the US is farcical and borderline delusion. Criticism of the US only hurts Europe anyway as it further galvanizes our isolationism which would mean Europe will have to gear up for war by themselves as we focus on China. European's way of life would then crumble due to that and by no longer being subsidized by the US which has allowed them far more freedom in their domestic spending for the last 72 years.

Your argument about disparity in world views is not as flagrant as you think given the six years I lived in Europe for part of my time in the USAF (Germany, Italy and The UK). You'll see similar disparity in world views and views of other states, regions and climates in the US as well. The only argument you have that shows a difference is languages.
@@janus3555 You're comparing 200 yo states with millennium-old (for some) countries that have been at war against each other for centuries and modeled the modern western world? This is definitely "copium".
2 centuries ago, Europe was a shithole to be in if you were poor. But then there was America, the vast empty land of dreams and promises where you could go and start anew. Or you could not give a crap about that as you had enough shit to worry about right here... Present day, Europe is the dream and promise that you could go to if your fed up with everything in the US; or not give a shit about cuz you have enough crap to deal with as is. In the end though, the one is not better then the other. Just different types of Paradise each with their own heaps of shit to clean up.

I feel the same. And in my experience most of us in europe just dislike US politics or policies, but not the people. We only really hate our neignbours. Brits and French, Germans and Polish, Danish and Swedes, Greeks and Turks, etc...🤣
And so interwoven. You wouldnt live in the same world without either. Ow, and the shitting on each other we seem to have been doing here for hunderds of years. The US is just the New kid on the block. 😂 ..so, dont take it too personally.
Ah, me in high school watching Obamas inauguration in a philly suburban school that had no racial issues thinking we were going to finally be done with it.
I think he was off on the Obama talk, I think Obama is just when he "tuned in". People HATED Bush. I never heard near as much about Obama. Drone strikes, whether or not he was a legitimate US citizen, few other things. But nothing close to the level of hate Bush had.
Honestly most kids were fine with it. I was happy. Alot of my hick friends who were taught ass backwards not so much, but even they were accepting. That is until the media and parents stepped in and told them how terrible Obama was and thst he was going to use the presidency to do 9/11 again. Sadly i don't think racial issues will ever go away because of people and media like thstm
We arguably became more divided since Obama administration though. Asmon is spot on about that. Amd a ton of his policies were bad. He updated the Patriot act which was No bueno
Racial issues were not a problem in my area too. My area is Deep red, yet its a helluva lot more diverse than my time in New England. It made me realize blue cities were really into diversity because its honestly not that diverse here.
I went to America twice once to a majour city and once to a friends home in texas. This was a shock en terms of oposites. In the big city i felt realy the shocking distance between the rich and poor.... the amount of people living on the street or just in general bad living spaces hurt alot to see. But then when i went to the countryside in texas to spend time with a close friend and their family i realy felt this american dream feeling. A loving and caring family spending time together almost constantly doing things like fishing, bbq, outdoor hunting/camping driving dirt bikes and just having that freedom you dont have here. Personally i think America is suffering from the top 1% and its leaders more then its people. When allowed to be free the american people can be absolutely wonderfull. So dont be too negative to our american friends not all chose how this is all going. We all have things we might be ignorant about ^^
Each one of our states is like its own country. I wouldn't expect a European to immediately know where every US state, capital, and territory was located on a map anymore than a European should expect an American to remember where Slovakia is.
Can you point out Connecticut on a map of the United States? Do you know what the capital of Idaho is? Is Sacramento in north or south California? Is Sacramento the capital of California or is it Los Angeles? Is New York City the capital of New York or is it Buffalo... maybe Albany? Please, let me know without doing any research. I'm sure you know off the top of your head lol. Maybe you should learn these things if you don't know them already. North America is bigger than Europe and also has more influence over the world so maybe you should learn our geography before you start talking shit lol.

It might be not your standard and would be fine, if people wouldn't try to justify this lack of knowledge with even more misinformation.
As a Swede, my experience is that many Europeans have a negative picture of America due to their own political views. People who are socialists typically view America as the terrifying example of what would happen if their political opponents would win the election. While people who are more pro free market and individual freedom tend to view America as an overall positive force in the world.
@@Dude-ni3vk I kind of agree with them both actually, depending on what they believe is bs and accurate. But it is bs that America is a dystopian nightmare as the socialists convince themselves it is. It is also bs that all of America is the same, different states differ exactly as European nations differ. And of course if you are pro free market and individual freedom, America is one of the best places to live in, but that doesn't mean that everything is perfect. But, on the other hand I believe that even though both political viewpoints of America are in one sense inaccurate, they still hold America as this idealized place.

@@CaptainAmerica001 that might be one of the reasons why there's so much hate behind the US, the appropriation of certain things and/or claims at some point, start to become annoying, such as bragging and believing they are better just because they are from the US, like, even tho they might be good people, humbleness is way off.
America as contintent existed before the USA, so many considered themselves americans regardless of the region, because basically the entire continent was known as America, before some countries existed. When one hears that people from the United States call themselves americans and that they do not consider other countries as americans, it seems strange to us that they only consider themselves americans, and that they refer only to their country, when long before the USA existed, America was a continent or that was what the New World was called in the past.
@@CaptainAmerica001 technically they’re 2 different continental plates but in that case Americans shouldn’t call themselves American because „north america“ isn’t even America, it didn’t exist on the world map when America was named so it should have its own name because by cultural and tectonic view they are not the same continent
@@stiegelzeine2186 What are the continents? Because America is a single continent. 'America', in the official name of the United States of America USA 🇺🇲, has represented a continent for the past 248yrs, even 269yrs before the USA 🇺🇲 existed. The Continent of America has not changed name in 517yrs.
As a European, we do think a lot America! But not because America is the best, but because they have so much influence over the world and that reaches everywhere. To be fair America do a lot of things well, but they also do a lot of things so goddamn wrong that nothing would ever convince me to move from Europe to America.
I could explain the reasoning behind the mindset a bit. It's because it's easy to dislike people that either don't look like them or share cultural views. Key example that isn't politically correct thing to say. most people in America dislike the very loud and disruptive black people, even though it's a minority of blacks that act like that they're just loud while the decent ones are quiet hence why they aren't heard. Or Muslims or certain Mexicans treated as a threat and because some have done atrocities therefore it's easier to label them as a whole. Certain Americans from any group treats everyone as a monolith ( as this one thing) America has always focused on division it's easier to control people that way. Every group they stays to their own, untrusting those that don't look like them. Perhaps some from certain groups have given them a negative impression.. But now they see all of them as that. The cycle continues and taught to their children.
@@siratlas9005 What you said is true, but you forgot to include Social Media there, it plays a huge role in why people are constantly angry and seem to hate each other nowadays.
I remember during Obama's presidency in eastern europe I would never hear people say "wow the president is black", only "wow the president is so young" in a positive way
I would argue, that the US is the most racist country on the planet. They talk so much about this racist, that racist, that all this talk doesn't let them forget to not care. And as Morgan Freeman said; the whole racism would go away if you would stop talking about it. One personal example; I learned about racism from the media. They basically teach you how to be racist.
As a European, I have no issue with Americans, just the system that their country operates under. Priorities are more focused on profit rather than morals, and media discourages furthering education. I think that Europe is only a few steps behind, and are going the same direction, both educationally and politically. But America is definitely patient 0 of a worrying change of times that I feel will lead to an uneducated youth with messed up priorities. But thats just my opinion.
Norwegian here. All the Americans I've met are some of the most open, approachable and easy to talk to people I've met. Might not say much since Norwegians are generally more shut in than most, but they are way more sociable and friendly in my experience. America is however portrayed like a shitshow. Talkshows, news, politicians and social media figures have become less intelligent, less charismatic and less attractive in later years, and more and more politicized. And since the politics have devolved into a mess of identy and ideology politics thats not a good look. It also doesn't help that a "celebrity" isn't what it used to be. Thanks to social media, celebrity magic is now gone. Just look at the Oscars... 10 years ago I would've loved to go vacationing in America. Now... Not so much.
The only thing that has changed, is NRK and TV2's broadcast of America. The reality is: It's still affordable and pays better than most European countries.
@@lau6438 sure national broadcast has changed, but there have to be an input for an output to go through (besides, I almost don't watch regular tv anymore, and get most of my impressions online). I was more thinking about the societal shift towards things like identity politics, and the effects social media has had on information/entertainment as opposed to the early 2000's.
If you visit the right places, the US is absolutely wonderful to visit. If you visit the typical Los Angeles or New York City, then it won’t be as nice. We have some amazing national parks worth visiting if you ever decided to visit.
@@RuneBjorg I'm a Dane, so I definitely get what you're saying. I think most of Europe has been accustomed to hating on America at this point, and I don't know how it turned that way.

One would expect cultural differences but the negativity is quite surprising. I think it's worth noting though that media representation and stereotypes do play a huge role in forming these perceptions. Moreover, views on a nation as diverse as America can't be simplified through a few lenses.
They can be put into statistics tho and they are shocking. Plus American politics is quite telling, if you have half a country rooting for a felon/pedophile, how can my view of them be positive?
Realistically, most of us see two types of Americans: 1) Social media influencers. 2) The stereotypical American tourists that proudly out themselves as American. You know, obnoxiously loud, expecting everybody to speak English no matter where they are and rude to service people. Neither is a good look. And, then of course, it's kinda impossible not to know about the entire election circus.
It's not just media. The hyper-capitalist and to some extent anti-social culture is a massive difference compared to Europe (and also Asia). Viewed from nearly every other civilized, "western" country the US just look like a failed state in almost every major aspect of society: health care, working culture, education, jurisdiction, politics, infrastructure, weapon & drug control, religion - most countries have SOME problems, but the US has ALL of them to an absurd degree. The country is basically using all of its money and power to suck hard at everything.

Just the fact that most, if not all, "American" sports Leagues call the winners "World's Champions" is a simple yet valid reason to hate them lol. (in this case, we simply hate their arrogance) "World's Champions of what ? The USA ?" - Noah Lyles

@chrisd2536 Be thankful. If America was really interested in your 'World Tournament' sports leagues and organized accordingly, do you think any team would have a chance against them? Have you seen the professional athletes America produces?
As a Swede, I think Americans can be loud and act like they’re better than everyone else, with a big ego. Here in Sweden, we see everyone as equal-no one is better than anyone else.
I don't think europeans really look down on americans, we just don't think America is as great as it portrays itself. If the cost of living is so high that you can't afford basic shit like healthcare, education, housing, etc, and the country is riddled with gunviolence, then it's not so great. But mostly people just consume its media a lot because it's a spectacle, even the presidential elections aren't about politics, it's about which rich idiot is going to say the dumbest shit when the whole world is watching. Of course America is the greatest country in the world... wait, there's other countries too? Also, correction: Europe is actually 20% bigger than the US.
There’s a distinction to be made here, America was as great as it portrayed itself, it is now much more like Europe which kind of blows but eh, it is what it is.
@jackie cost of living is cheaper in America and it’s not even close. Not sure where you are getting your info. Energy costs in Europe are absolutely insane
@@RageQuit29 I live in Europe, and energy costs aren't high at all, at least for me. I don't even feel it in my monthly costs. and that's only a small part of the overall picture. I'm talking about housing costs, healthcare, education, food prices, etc... We don't need 2 or 3 jobs to be able to afford rent alone, and we don't get into debt for healthcare or education either.
@@jackie.p6891it really depends of where you at in Europe, like some countries used the Russia incident as an excuse to multiply by 3 the cost of energies (even electricity for some reason) but some didn’t care at all so kinda depends
One thing I think a lot of people don't realize is that all that news - that's from the cities. Most of America, what I know, is rural. I've lived most of my 44 years in small towns. We don't have high cost of living, or shootings, or silly things like you see in the news. We didn't "lock down" for COVID. Small town America, which is a lot, is massive and laid-back, and not what they see in the news.
@@l33tninja1 You're missing the point, they aren't saying that news should cover rural areas (people there just want to be left alone anyways lol), they're just pointing out that rural America is a huge part of it that goes unnoticed.
And most of "small town" America is also still incredibly racist or prejudiced against certain people. So you'll only have the good experience you described if you're the right type of person.
@TheOnlyGhxst. I have never been to places that are more racist than countries in europe and asia. The US isn't even close to them in the hate department. And you think those small towns are racist, just go to an inner city and listen to the way you'll be spoken to if you're white...
no. what it is, as a brit, is that america was glamorous when it could hide behind hollywood, pop music, tv shows. the internet destroyed all that. i remember, i grew up in 80s and 90s america was like an epic dream. post internet, we got to see what americans are really like, personality and looks wise. the dream is OVER
As a European who visited the US in 2019 I reached the same conclusion as Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction, only in reverse: You know what the funniest thing about the US is? It’s the little differences. A lotta the same shit we got here, they got there, but there they’re a little different.
As an European, when I was a kid I dreamt of being american and I was jealous cause I had a Holywood-like perception of it. Now that i'm an adult, I thank God that i'm not American.
Wait till you realize that is also an illusion. Fact is there are a thousand representatives of what an American is but they haven't found unity yet and now they are spreading their terrible divisive politics to us. Again. The one thing that bodders me about America is the desperation to be a subclass of another country because they refuse to see citizens as individuals and force demographics on each other. Frankly, I don't wanna hear how you are half a piece of an eight of an Irishman because once you meet a dog that was Irish. Nationality is important to us.
i dont think they hate you, they hate the things your group is associated with. when they talk to you and realize youre not like the stereotype, that changes their perception of how many indians are a certain way but it would be foolish to throw away a group generalization just because one guy was normal unless it was completely unreasonable.
@@danielstarr9037 Oh you wish. Technically HFCS has no calories at all, because it cannot be metabolized. While alcohol can at least be metabolized by 20%, which is at least some energy that can be taken from it, 80% is processed in the liver (i.e. poison). HFCS however is processed to 100% in the liver, meaning it is pure poison with zero value. The reason it makes people fat is because 1) it completely messes up the insulin cycle (hence diabetes) and it sedates the hunger-center in the brain that thus gets stuck on "I am not full yet", so you keep eating. You are never satiated. This stuff is nothing but a drug to keep people hooked on food. If you wanted to fatten up lifestock, this is what you would use; although the meat would probably not be the best.
@@whisped8145 fructose is metabolized just fine in healthy livers and shouldn’t really be considered poison in that context (unless some genetic polymorphisms are coming into play). There are some hunger signaling things that aren’t as actively triggered in fructose metabolism but it is absolutely something that is metabolized into energy and isn’t any kind of sugar alcohol
I feel like the main difference between NA and Europe is that (especailly in the US) everything has to be 100% and i mean like ... everything. From their personalities to their laws to TV shows to their food to everything. To us it feels like the US always tries to be the biggest, most patriotic, most free, most something country every day and when we see media about it, it always confirms this to us in europe. Like as that one girl said, it's a very extreme country.

That's actually a bit of a cultural difference between the US and Europe. Europeans work to live, Americans live to work. Overall, I think we're pretty similiar though. Most of the people who built up the United States were Europeans and still today most Americans have a European heritage.
So you don't stay like that. Look at other countries, realise what can be improved for your country and demand what you deserve from your government. That's the European way :) we pretty much copy each other if something proves to be beneficial for our neighbors.
@@purple66666 Oh, really? Is that all, just demand what you want. That's so European. That must be why things seem to be going so smoothly over there. I'm not trying to be rude but your comment came off extremely simplistic and idealistic that I could only respond with sarcasm.
I would say most Europeans don't dislike Americans, they just don't understand Americans. Not understanding something often can be expressed as 'dislike' when it's not really. I met a ton of Americans when I was in the military, they were so different to what the media portrayed, most were quiet gentlemen, awesomely polite and good fun. I had a great time with Americans, and it was unexpected given my original preconceptions.
I was in the military as well but in the reverse situation. I was American stationed in Italy and the amount of times id hear about one of our guys doing something stupid in public and getting arrested really made me understand why the locals generally hate the Americans being there. It was a bit of an eye opener when I acted like a normal person and was told “you’re nothing like the other Americans”. Thats a very low bar by anyone’s standards.
Were most of the Americans you met Soldiers? I only ask because military and non-military in the U.S. tend to be very different. Not 100% obviously. It's almost an entirely different culture, more so than other countries militaries...at least the ones I have interacted with. This is 2001-2004 during good old GWOT so that may have changed.
And they haven't met the actual citizens yet a lot of them are worse than they've been shown although a lot of Europeans are worse than we Americans have been shown maybe they did that on purpose who knows
At 20:00 Asmon illustrates why we think this perfectly. We know how big America is. We know how important it is. But saying 'America is bigger than Europe' is catagorically incorrect. Europe has more than double the population of America and is larger by area of landmass. We do not dislike you because we do not understand America, we dislike you because you do not understand us, while making no effort to understand us better
Understanding goes both ways. I think the main reason that we Americans don't put in the effort to learn another language or culture is because we're aware of the stereotypes that people across the pond have about us. This actually works in your benefit because if we don't do the research, we don't know your stereotypes, and thusly don't have a biased opinion. That's why (most) Americans are friendly and try to be curtious when we go abroad. I at least know what others think when I tell them I'm American, so I try to be friendly in an attempt to highlight a positive stereotype
@@imyournme6632 it has been around forever, it's just severely amplified by mass polarization caused by our media. 100 years ago you weren't able to open up a website telling you all of the bad things other countries and their people have done. now you get videos shoved into your face repeating explicitly all the bad things that have happened within just a single day. it's quite easy to look at other countries in disgust if all you SEE them do is bad stuff since you never go out of your way to look for good stuff they have done. this has nothing to do with america or europe specifically, it's applicable to all the increase in divisiveness we've seen over the past few decades
Pretty much this, I am learning Japanese at the moment because I want to understand the country and its people. I don't have to, and it doesn't give me any benefit other than expanding my horizons. But even so, I think it's a waste to live your life and die without trying to understand other people. I won't mention that not being interested in other countries is kinda foolish long term? When US doesn't even has 10% of the world's population and some countries started trying to lower the value of Dollar.
@frhorizons wr do try to understand Americans. We are fully immersed in American culture. Also anyone who dislikes an American because of a stereotype is stupid and should be called out.

@@sekki327 Are we going to do 'Freedom Fries' again over the Olympics nonsense? Then you wonder why Europeans have such a low opinion of us.
Asmongold said they fought a war 250 years ago, but also remember the only reason Americans won their independence is because they got help from France. France provided crucial supplies, arms, ammunition, uniforms, troops, and naval support to the Continental Army. The financial strain from providing so much support to America literally led to the french revolution..
And the British used German mercenaries and natives. Without those it's arguable whether the British would have even stood a chance.
Actually, he said "350 years ago".
Sooooo we returned the favor immediately.
Look up the XYZ Affair. France was full of shit and simply wanted to hurt England they didn't go about it out of the kindness of their own heart so The United States owes them nothing short of recognition for the supplies which we gave along with ALOT MORE SUPPLIES in the late 1930s and onward.

This is true. It's obvious that anyone who praised America would not be put in the footage. That's why these man-on-the-street interview stuff is unreliable and mostly just used for gotchas.
As someone from the Iberian peninsula, I agree. There is a narrative in the continent. Please, do not take those videos as what the majority of us think. Most people in the continent want to make a trip to the USA at least once in their live and adore your old entertainment media.

The real sin of the US education system is long standing policies such as "No child left behind" nerfing curriculum to the point that students barely learn the civics of their own country, much less those found in Europe.
fyi the UK leaving the Eu is does not make them not European anymore. Europe is a continent, like Nord and South America. And when they left the EU, they did not leave the continent.

Not humble narcissists
Or are Europeans just too quiet?
💯 over the top chill out my guy
In my experience as a European, I think a lot of people here only think negatively about America because of Donald Trump and the current American discourse. Here, Trump is viewed as a clown of a leader. It makes us wonder...if there are people in America that support Trump...how could they be intelligent? Prior to Trump, I'd say our perception of America was mostly positive, partially because we saw American leaders that we could take seriously.
ok but from what part? I live in the west if we are out somewhere and people from the east come in talking its like holyshxt, why are you yelling at a million miles an hour you are right next to each other? But then again, they think we speak super slow and are hard to hear.

There are many gun regulations. I view them as unconstitutional but they are
See, we love the lack of regulations, lol. Less regulation = more freedom = more opportunity for success
Let me say this one thing
Amount of school shootings:
America:354
Europe(with entire russia): 10
Europe without russia: 8
THIS WAS LAST YEAR
@@memegod3897 yeah, but our metrics are retarded and designed to push a narrative. That 354 counts negligent discharges, shootings after hours across from schools or that involve school grounds. There's a website that tracks and "debunks" the skewed numbers
@@redalertsteve_ They are unconstitutional. There's not actually any wiggle room in that amendment. Previous generations just gave up their rights for convenience, just like people do today. It's frustrating.
More to the point of OP, actually this isn't the only assumption that is untrue. FDA guidelines are different than those of Europe, but they mostly overlap, and we outlaw stuff they allow as well. Almost all "processed" food in America meet European health standards, they just don't have the same companies/marketing (though that has been gradually changing).
Elections aren't decided any differently in Europe, just more politely, because direct speaking is less culturally appropriate. Superiority is constantly slung at Americans from Europe, and vice versa, that perception is just and inability to empathize/lack of self honesty (which is normal). It's also almost always facetious, another cultural difference.
As for lack of regulation, unfortunately for Europe, there's just nothing like Jeffersonian ideology in Europe, and it isn't often imported, so it's just a matter of ignorance to the political climate (which is fair).

I’m an Englishman living in ‘rural’ US. Been here 20 years. It’s not all that different really. The people generally want the same thing from their lives. They go about things in much the same way. The media rules and controls the minds of everyone in the World. Go interview people who have experienced different cultures for a while and not those who have read or watched their experiences instead of living them.
This is the same all around the world. Everyone is doing the same thing, working, paying bills, raising children, it's all the same. The environment is the biggest factor I have seen that effects different cultures and is the sculpture to their life. It's how you survive in that environment, what food you eat, how you have moulded life, how people interact and most things that people say is "unique" to them is really just nuance.
They will say for example "we eat rye bread" of course you do because the grain grows better in this climate, "we have sauna" yes, because its -30 in winter, and you have trees that fuel the fire.
The regular folks in every society are usually just normal everyday trying to survive.
Joe Scarborough, MSNBC; “Well and I think that the dangerous edges here are that he’s trying to undermine the media, trying to make up his own facts and it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think........ and that is our job.”
British, not white, lived in London, hated it. Moved to Berkshire loved it. Moved to Germany, loved my year there. Moved to NY in 1996, absolutely hated it. Lived in the suburbs north of NY for 6 years then moved out to deep in the countryside in another state. Been here for 20 years. Nice neighbors. For work reasons while living out here I also had an apartment in NYC for a couple years too, hated NYC even more, incredibly shitty people.
I don't think I could live back in the UK, made a trip back in April after 10 years away, there is just so much wrong over there now that is also occurring in NYC. I'm glad I'm far enough away that it may be sometime before it gets here. US media and the incestuous tie in between government and corporations and media sucks donkey balls.

There is never a balance, people always go for the max level when it comes to BLM, lgbtq, antifa, feminism, wierd trends. These are some things that i wish that were ignored in the EU instead of copying it.
It's not our fault. All those things you mentioned, as well as the "succeed or suck" culture are things PUSHED down our throats by the "elite" socialists. The EU isn't really "copying" anything, it's just that they want Europe as their fief too, and they've been expanding. It's why European culture has been degrading dramatically the past few years. Not sure whether it's a master plan or just copypasta, but it doesn't really matter.
Those are just the vocal, chronically online weirdos.

@@patrikules1937 Would love to. It's just really expensive these days. When I retire I'd love to go back and see those states I missed out on - Nebraska, Dakota, the more northern ones. I get what Asmon says about America. When you have virtually every microclimate on earth in your own country, it sort of reduces the requirement to travel abroad. Having said that, there are so many interesting places in the world, so much history and richness in culture, that it's also great to get about if you possibly can.
This is why so many Americans don't have passports and never leave America. There is so much to do, and see here that you never need to go anywhere else. It does lead to some ignorance, though.
I glanced over at "Appalacians" while skimming the comments and thought you wrote "Apocalyptan".
As an European, what i personally dislike is:
- not using the metric system
- only two choices for the president
- news/twitter drama
- cancel/woke colture
- weapon law
- health insurance and minimum wage (cant have both)
- food quality (its a not from personal experience but there is a reason for how many obese people are there)
- military/geopolitical hands everywhere (i dont know much about the topic, how and why, but i like how Europeans historically got back to Europe)
But is must be said, it's so much easier to state the bad instead of the good.
Also im swiss, i have some negative sentiments about the EU as well, nobody is perfect.

Saying that America is bigger than Europe in the map is the most American thing
@@Samsung-1.9Cu.Ft.Microwave that doesnt even make sense
Yes, the Americas, comprising North America, Central America, and South America, are significantly larger than Europe. The total land area of the Americas is approximately 42.55 million square kilometers, while Europe covers about 10.18 million square kilometers. Thus, the Americas are over four times larger than Europe.

Mixed European here - I love Americans, visiting Arizona and Nevada was a great experience just talking to people, so much energy and politeness. Sure it’s superficial, but if you really start talking to people, they liven up and want to have fun.
I admire a lot about America, I think you have many wonderful qualities that differ from state to state.
I think the one thing your people lacks is some measure of humility and consideration of others, especially internally. Your pursuit of individualism has left you with hollow communities and a lack of networks. We increasingly have those issues too, but you are especially vulnerable.
I appreciate the solid perspective. Well thought out, and I concur as an American. I wish more Europeans would give balanced answers like this, instead of the stock answers they usually give.
Glad you had a good time here!

Yo, as a Dane, let me just say, the American political scene is wild. Like, over here in Denmark, we keep religion outta politics. It's all about practical stuff like healthcare, education, and making sure everyone's taken care of. But in the US? So much drama is driven by religion, it's nuts!
And don't get me started on the election process. I mean, seriously, only two candidates to choose from? That's it? - a dude who should probably be chillin' in a retirement home vs. someone who acts like a reality TV villain. It's kinda embarrassing tbh.
We got a multi-party system here, so there's a lot more representation and coalition building. Makes for better balance and policies that reflect a wider range of views. But in the US, it's all red vs. blue, and the result is this mega-polarized, us-vs-them mentality.
And let's be real, the whole "money talks" thing in US politics is messed up. Over here, we focus more on what actually benefits people rather than who's got the fattest wallet. Plus, we value secularism big time, keeping church and state separate, which honestly just makes more sense for modern governance.
So yeah, from a Danish POV, the American political setup is pretty cringe. But hey, every system's got its quirks, right? Just wish the US would chill on the religious influence and maybe diversify their political scene a bit.
In the US, a party needs to have over 15% support to be more relevant. We already have the Libertarians, Greens and Socialist parties but are very small. Also, a multi-party system has it's negatives like how multiple parties can be similar but will split the vote when voting on seats. Also, a party can win or even be on the verge of winning and then a coalition from the opposition can destroy their chances and can even create deadlock.
@@anthonycooke2401 the difference however is that in the danish system you deligate mandates and each mandate brings power that means even if say trump won the elecetion kamala Harris would still have influence on decisions made. So the advantage is not really the many options but instead that every vote will sum to a rule based on the general opinion of the public. Which also encourage people to actually vote. Since even if say u voted r.f kennedy and he didn’t win he would still get mandisates which would give him power amounting to the amounts of mandates

Europe was divided after the WW2, and me being Polish I know the poor half of the Europe. Till like around 2010, we in Poland wanted that "American dream". A land of the free, home of the brave etc. We saw the monetery potential in the USA, to finally crawl out of poverty, so as some people from e.g Chicago know, there is a large community of Poles in the USA that left their home country to find a better life. So beside being free from communism, we just saw it as a opportunity to make money, and live a good life that we couldn't give to our children before.
But as the information in the internet begin to spread we saw that the "american dream" is not really a "dream", it's more of a "wish". And when the BLM riots took place, that was over, our image of USA was destroyed. Cos who in the right mind would want to live in a place where they demolish whole city like it's nothing? We have a safe country, so that was really WILD for us that people could do that.
So to summarize: USA in the past had a good image, now it's a clown show.
Even Americans think the American Dream is dead. That's why orange man slogan resonates with roughly half the country enough to get them to vote for him. And, economically at least, our country was much better for that American Dream back in the 70s, but half a century of mismanagement by both parties has slowly eroded our economy in comparison to what it was before.
ah the BLM protests, just like most issues surrounding crime, it stems from the usual suspects
As an American: I can accept that. Polish food is bomb in Chicago thank you for that. We need to chill out in 2025.
@@liarwithagun The funny thing is that we even had songs in polish that were about "american dream", so we really were thinking about it hard. But yeah, a wrong management can destroy a economy in a moment, we also had that with our latest ruling party (a rotten to the core when it comes to money, but at least they had Polands safety in mind)
poland seems to be one of the only countries that look at america and the countries around it and take whats good and leave whats bad, and it shows in how good theyre doing right now.

First thing what this dude does, what all Americans does in Europe -"Classifies all people as some abstraction like "Europeans" without understanding what all live in different countries with different culture, religion, history and .... We have countries, not states XD"
US is a union of states much like the EU. Each state has their own autonomy, their own governments, cultures, laws, accents, climate, attractions, and topography. To somehow think that the differentiation in The EU is a reason for the US to pay attention to each of the EU states like the world does to the US is farcical and borderline delusion.
Criticism of the US only hurts Europe anyway as it further galvanizes our isolationism which would mean Europe will have to gear up for war by themselves as we focus on China. European's way of life would then crumble due to that and by no longer being subsidized by the US which has allowed them far more freedom in their domestic spending for the last 72 years.

Ah, me in high school watching Obamas inauguration in a philly suburban school that had no racial issues thinking we were going to finally be done with it.
I think he was off on the Obama talk, I think Obama is just when he "tuned in". People HATED Bush. I never heard near as much about Obama. Drone strikes, whether or not he was a legitimate US citizen, few other things. But nothing close to the level of hate Bush had.
Cause we were. But the media needed to keep it up.
Honestly most kids were fine with it. I was happy. Alot of my hick friends who were taught ass backwards not so much, but even they were accepting. That is until the media and parents stepped in and told them how terrible Obama was and thst he was going to use the presidency to do 9/11 again. Sadly i don't think racial issues will ever go away because of people and media like thstm
We arguably became more divided since Obama administration though. Asmon is spot on about that. Amd a ton of his policies were bad. He updated the Patriot act which was No bueno
Racial issues were not a problem in my area too. My area is Deep red, yet its a helluva lot more diverse than my time in New England.
It made me realize blue cities were really into diversity because its honestly not that diverse here.
I went to America twice once to a majour city and once to a friends home in texas. This was a shock en terms of oposites.
In the big city i felt realy the shocking distance between the rich and poor.... the amount of people living on the street or just in general bad living spaces hurt alot to see.
But then when i went to the countryside in texas to spend time with a close friend and their family i realy felt this american dream feeling. A loving and caring family spending time together almost constantly doing things like fishing, bbq, outdoor hunting/camping driving dirt bikes and just having that freedom you dont have here.
Personally i think America is suffering from the top 1% and its leaders more then its people. When allowed to be free the american people can be absolutely wonderfull. So dont be too negative to our american friends not all chose how this is all going. We all have things we might be ignorant about ^^
That made me teary-eyed. o/
"we don't even know where their country is on a map" illustrates perfectly how we perceive amuricans
Each one of our states is like its own country. I wouldn't expect a European to immediately know where every US state, capital, and territory was located on a map anymore than a European should expect an American to remember where Slovakia is.
Can you point out Connecticut on a map of the United States? Do you know what the capital of Idaho is? Is Sacramento in north or south California? Is Sacramento the capital of California or is it Los Angeles? Is New York City the capital of New York or is it Buffalo... maybe Albany? Please, let me know without doing any research.

@@calebtotu perfectly have proven how Europeans view u Americans is true.
U can't differentiate between a continent and a country.

Most people will be able to tell what the capital of the USA is and where it lies, what u are asking for is like me asking u to tell me the different states of Russia or Germany and their respective capital city.

@@ragnablade5397 yeah sure, I would expect you to know Ghana or Sri Lanka is, but when it comes to global players or historicaly, economicaly, political important countries like China, Russia, Egypt, Germany etc. it should be expected to know here at least these countries are located, that is the standard Europeans and others have. It might be not your standard and would be fine, if people wouldn't try to justify this lack of knowledge with even more misinformation.
As a Swede, my experience is that many Europeans have a negative picture of America due to their own political views. People who are socialists typically view America as the terrifying example of what would happen if their political opponents would win the election. While people who are more pro free market and individual freedom tend to view America as an overall positive force in the world.
Well that is complete BS 😂😂😂
That's a pretty accurate way of looking at it.
Man the complete duality of the first two comments. 😂
@@Dude-ni3vk I kind of agree with them both actually, depending on what they believe is bs and accurate. But it is bs that America is a dystopian nightmare as the socialists convince themselves it is. It is also bs that all of America is the same, different states differ exactly as European nations differ. And of course if you are pro free market and individual freedom, America is one of the best places to live in, but that doesn't mean that everything is perfect.
But, on the other hand I believe that even though both political viewpoints of America are in one sense inaccurate, they still hold America as this idealized place.

America as contintent existed before the USA, so many considered themselves americans regardless of the region, because basically the entire continent was known as America, before some countries existed.
When one hears that people from the United States call themselves americans and that they do not consider other countries as americans, it seems strange to us that they only consider themselves americans, and that they refer only to their country, when long before the USA existed, America was a continent or that was what the New World was called in the past.
@@CaptainAmerica001 technically they’re 2 different continental plates but in that case Americans shouldn’t call themselves American because „north america“ isn’t even America, it didn’t exist on the world map when America was named so it should have its own name because by cultural and tectonic view they are not the same continent
@@stiegelzeine2186
What are the continents?
Because America is a single continent.

Everyone seems to hate on each other for anything and everything nowadays. Who cares anymore, this is just annoying
I could explain the reasoning behind the mindset a bit.
It's because it's easy to dislike people that either don't look like them or share cultural views.
Key example that isn't politically correct thing to say.
most people in America dislike the very loud and disruptive black people, even though it's a minority of blacks that act like that they're just loud while the decent ones are quiet hence why they aren't heard.
Or
Muslims or certain Mexicans treated as a threat and because some have done atrocities therefore it's easier to label them as a whole.
Certain Americans from any group treats everyone as a monolith ( as this one thing)
America has always focused on division it's easier to control people that way. Every group they stays to their own, untrusting those that don't look like them.
Perhaps some from certain groups have given them a negative impression..
But now they see all of them as that. The cycle continues and taught to their children.

As a European, I have no issue with Americans, just the system that their country operates under. Priorities are more focused on profit rather than morals, and media discourages furthering education. I think that Europe is only a few steps behind, and are going the same direction, both educationally and politically. But America is definitely patient 0 of a worrying change of times that I feel will lead to an uneducated youth with messed up priorities. But thats just my opinion.
Norwegian here.
All the Americans I've met are some of the most open, approachable and easy to talk to people I've met. Might not say much since Norwegians are generally more shut in than most, but they are way more sociable and friendly in my experience.
America is however portrayed like a shitshow. Talkshows, news, politicians and social media figures have become less intelligent, less charismatic and less attractive in later years, and more and more politicized. And since the politics have devolved into a mess of identy and ideology politics thats not a good look. It also doesn't help that a "celebrity" isn't what it used to be. Thanks to social media, celebrity magic is now gone. Just look at the Oscars...

One would expect cultural differences but the negativity is quite surprising. I think it's worth noting though that media representation and stereotypes do play a huge role in forming these perceptions. Moreover, views on a nation as diverse as America can't be simplified through a few lenses.
They can be put into statistics tho and they are shocking. Plus American politics is quite telling, if you have half a country rooting for a felon/pedophile, how can my view of them be positive?
Also the main "Americans" we see over here are the ones that out themselves as "american" and those are mostly annoying.
Realistically, most of us see two types of Americans:
1) Social media influencers.
2) The stereotypical American tourists that proudly out themselves as American. You know, obnoxiously loud, expecting everybody to speak English no matter where they are and rude to service people.
Neither is a good look. And, then of course, it's kinda impossible not to know about the entire election circus.
It's not just media. The hyper-capitalist and to some extent anti-social culture is a massive difference compared to Europe (and also Asia). Viewed from nearly every other civilized, "western" country the US just look like a failed state in almost every major aspect of society: health care, working culture, education, jurisdiction, politics, infrastructure, weapon & drug control, religion - most countries have SOME problems, but the US has ALL of them to an absurd degree. The country is basically using all of its money and power to suck hard at everything.

You do know the whole "World Series" or "World Champions" thing is largely just tongue in cheek, right? If you want to encapsulate our arrogance, a better example would be going off about "number of flags on the moon" or something like that.
You know it’s not only Americans on the teams right? They draft players from all over the world.
@chrisd2536 Be thankful. If America was really interested in your 'World Tournament' sports leagues and organized accordingly, do you think any team would have a chance against them? Have you seen the professional athletes America produces?
@@johndoe-lp9my So why do you get owned in the Olympics?
We don't just view USA as a PvP server, but a literal irl 1:1 representation of a PC GTA Online server.
*he's got the point*
As a Swede, I think Americans can be loud and act like they’re better than everyone else, with a big ego. Here in Sweden, we see everyone as equal-no one is better than anyone else.
I don't think europeans really look down on americans, we just don't think America is as great as it portrays itself. If the cost of living is so high that you can't afford basic shit like healthcare, education, housing, etc, and the country is riddled with gunviolence, then it's not so great. But mostly people just consume its media a lot because it's a spectacle, even the presidential elections aren't about politics, it's about which rich idiot is going to say the dumbest shit when the whole world is watching.
Of course America is the greatest country in the world... wait, there's other countries too?
Also, correction: Europe is actually 20% bigger than the US.
There’s a distinction to be made here, America was as great as it portrayed itself, it is now much more like Europe which kind of blows but eh, it is what it is.
@@aidanproy1484 I don't see in any way how it is "like Europe". sure, cost of living has gone up, but it is nowhere near as bad as it is in the US.
@jackie cost of living is cheaper in America and it’s not even close. Not sure where you are getting your info. Energy costs in Europe are absolutely insane
@@RageQuit29 I live in Europe, and energy costs aren't high at all, at least for me. I don't even feel it in my monthly costs. and that's only a small part of the overall picture. I'm talking about housing costs, healthcare, education, food prices, etc... We don't need 2 or 3 jobs to be able to afford rent alone, and we don't get into debt for healthcare or education either.
@@jackie.p6891it really depends of where you at in Europe, like some countries used the Russia incident as an excuse to multiply by 3 the cost of energies (even electricity for some reason) but some didn’t care at all so kinda depends
"Venice has a lot of lakes and rivers"🤣 the whole city is built on water🤣
One thing I think a lot of people don't realize is that all that news - that's from the cities. Most of America, what I know, is rural. I've lived most of my 44 years in small towns. We don't have high cost of living, or shootings, or silly things like you see in the news. We didn't "lock down" for COVID. Small town America, which is a lot, is massive and laid-back, and not what they see in the news.
Well ya, news about the rural areas is boring and doesn't get views so why would it travel to other countries?
@@l33tninja1 You're missing the point, they aren't saying that news should cover rural areas (people there just want to be left alone anyways lol), they're just pointing out that rural America is a huge part of it that goes unnoticed.
And most of "small town" America is also still incredibly racist or prejudiced against certain people. So you'll only have the good experience you described if you're the right type of person.
@@TheOnlyGhxst Is it really that bad outside the south? I haven't lived outside the south myself, so of course I wouldn't know.
@TheOnlyGhxst. I have never been to places that are more racist than countries in europe and asia. The US isn't even close to them in the hate department. And you think those small towns are racist, just go to an inner city and listen to the way you'll be spoken to if you're white...
no. what it is, as a brit, is that america was glamorous when it could hide behind hollywood, pop music, tv shows. the internet destroyed all that. i remember, i grew up in 80s and 90s america was like an epic dream. post internet, we got to see what americans are really like, personality and looks wise. the dream is OVER
I never reacted negative to people from US. so I have no idea what the people in this video talk about. Greetings from a german guy from Thailand :)
As a European who visited the US in 2019 I reached the same conclusion as Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction, only in reverse:
You know what the funniest thing about the US is? It’s the little differences. A lotta the same shit we got here, they got there, but there they’re a little different.
Honestly, yeah. We all live life with small differences. At the end of the day, we all wake up, live life, eat, and sleep with little differences.

As an European, when I was a kid I dreamt of being american and I was jealous cause I had a Holywood-like perception of it. Now that i'm an adult, I thank God that i'm not American.
But I don't hate y'all, I just don't want to live there, like ever, but for tourism or popculture stuff, great
Wait till you realize that is also an illusion. Fact is there are a thousand representatives of what an American is but they haven't found unity yet and now they are spreading their terrible divisive politics to us. Again. The one thing that bodders me about America is the desperation to be a subclass of another country because they refuse to see citizens as individuals and force demographics on each other. Frankly, I don't wanna hear how you are half a piece of an eight of an Irishman because once you meet a dog that was Irish. Nationality is important to us.
I love America as country, i love nature, cities, places, movies, music, but i dont like politics and people.
As an indian guy everyone hates me, unless i start talking to them, then they realize I am just a guy.
We're not talking about india
you guys get a bad wrap for sure. you can thank 7-11 for that nonsense.
i dont think they hate you, they hate the things your group is associated with. when they talk to you and realize youre not like the stereotype, that changes their perception of how many indians are a certain way but it would be foolish to throw away a group generalization just because one guy was normal unless it was completely unreasonable.

21:00 You ban High Fructose Corn Syrup, the pounds start melting.
Naaa. Regular sugar has just as many calories per gram given hydrated equally across solutions
@@danielstarr9037 Oh you wish. Technically HFCS has no calories at all, because it cannot be metabolized. While alcohol can at least be metabolized by 20%, which is at least some energy that can be taken from it, 80% is processed in the liver (i.e. poison).
HFCS however is processed to 100% in the liver, meaning it is pure poison with zero value. The reason it makes people fat is because 1) it completely messes up the insulin cycle (hence diabetes) and it sedates the hunger-center in the brain that thus gets stuck on "I am not full yet", so you keep eating. You are never satiated.
This stuff is nothing but a drug to keep people hooked on food. If you wanted to fatten up lifestock, this is what you would use; although the meat would probably not be the best.
@@whisped8145 fructose is metabolized just fine in healthy livers and shouldn’t really be considered poison in that context (unless some genetic polymorphisms are coming into play). There are some hunger signaling things that aren’t as actively triggered in fructose metabolism but it is absolutely something that is metabolized into energy and isn’t any kind of sugar alcohol
I feel like the main difference between NA and Europe is that (especailly in the US) everything has to be 100% and i mean like ... everything. From their personalities to their laws to TV shows to their food to everything. To us it feels like the US always tries to be the biggest, most patriotic, most free, most something country every day and when we see media about it, it always confirms this to us in europe.
Like as that one girl said, it's a very extreme country.
As a canadian , We're the diet coke of US coca-cola. You think we're in the same basket cause we're next to each other, but if you taste it , you'll see the difference.
And then you realise through various means that they are not the most anything really, they just act like it and put alot of effort into the facade...alot of it is waste or wasted upon'
who goes to America to be free these days?
unless your escaping war and famine.
but then America goes around rap*ng the planet and then tells everyone they rap*d to stay away lool
@@brainrain1142 As a Brit, I feel like the Canadian society would be more intuitive to adjust to than that of the US. Seems a little more understated, and perhaps our queuing mastery would gel well with the reputation for politeness. Not sure if Canadians would agree, though?
believing media is a personal problem
@@pandaell1029 Makes sense, though I wasn't sure about how that would be defined, since I guess the US territory was technically originally a British colony, and I know e.g. the French were involved in the colonization of Canada.
As a working class American why would I care about what’s going on in Europe when I have to worry about surviving until my next paycheck
because most of US culture is built on europeans coming on boats. Europe is the reason your dollar is the global standard
That's actually a bit of a cultural difference between the US and Europe.
Europeans work to live, Americans live to work. Overall, I think we're pretty similiar though. Most of the people who built up the United States were Europeans and still today most Americans have a European heritage.
So you don't stay like that. Look at other countries, realise what can be improved for your country and demand what you deserve from your government. That's the European way :) we pretty much copy each other if something proves to be beneficial for our neighbors.
@@purple66666 Oh, really? Is that all, just demand what you want. That's so European. That must be why things seem to be going so smoothly over there. I'm not trying to be rude but your comment came off extremely simplistic and idealistic that I could only respond with sarcasm.
I would say most Europeans don't dislike Americans, they just don't understand Americans. Not understanding something often can be expressed as 'dislike' when it's not really. I met a ton of Americans when I was in the military, they were so different to what the media portrayed, most were quiet gentlemen, awesomely polite and good fun. I had a great time with Americans, and it was unexpected given my original preconceptions.
I was in the military as well but in the reverse situation. I was American stationed in Italy and the amount of times id hear about one of our guys doing something stupid in public and getting arrested really made me understand why the locals generally hate the Americans being there. It was a bit of an eye opener when I acted like a normal person and was told “you’re nothing like the other Americans”. Thats a very low bar by anyone’s standards.
They should be grateful or they would be speaking German right now
Were most of the Americans you met Soldiers? I only ask because military and non-military in the U.S. tend to be very different. Not 100% obviously. It's almost an entirely different culture, more so than other countries militaries...at least the ones I have interacted with. This is 2001-2004 during good old GWOT so that may have changed.
To be fair most militaries have a problem with people on duty pulling stuff like that
And they haven't met the actual citizens yet a lot of them are worse than they've been shown although a lot of Europeans are worse than we Americans have been shown maybe they did that on purpose who knows
At 20:00 Asmon illustrates why we think this perfectly. We know how big America is. We know how important it is. But saying 'America is bigger than Europe' is catagorically incorrect. Europe has more than double the population of America and is larger by area of landmass. We do not dislike you because we do not understand America, we dislike you because you do not understand us, while making no effort to understand us better
Understanding goes both ways. I think the main reason that we Americans don't put in the effort to learn another language or culture is because we're aware of the stereotypes that people across the pond have about us. This actually works in your benefit because if we don't do the research, we don't know your stereotypes, and thusly don't have a biased opinion. That's why (most) Americans are friendly and try to be curtious when we go abroad. I at least know what others think when I tell them I'm American, so I try to be friendly in an attempt to highlight a positive stereotype
@@frhorizons Makes no sense, this disgust for Americans hasn't been around for long enough for this to be the case.
@@imyournme6632 it has been around forever, it's just severely amplified by mass polarization caused by our media. 100 years ago you weren't able to open up a website telling you all of the bad things other countries and their people have done. now you get videos shoved into your face repeating explicitly all the bad things that have happened within just a single day. it's quite easy to look at other countries in disgust if all you SEE them do is bad stuff since you never go out of your way to look for good stuff they have done. this has nothing to do with america or europe specifically, it's applicable to all the increase in divisiveness we've seen over the past few decades
Pretty much this, I am learning Japanese at the moment because I want to understand the country and its people. I don't have to, and it doesn't give me any benefit other than expanding my horizons. But even so, I think it's a waste to live your life and die without trying to understand other people.
I won't mention that not being interested in other countries is kinda foolish long term? When US doesn't even has 10% of the world's population and some countries started trying to lower the value of Dollar.
@frhorizons wr do try to understand Americans. We are fully immersed in American culture. Also anyone who dislikes an American because of a stereotype is stupid and should be called out. The issue isn't the stereotype, the stereotype comes because of the issue. You say 'Americans try to be respectful' and I am sure you do, but many Amercians do not and I have seen that

america is home to some of the greatest artists. musicians, actors, film makers. but then there's the gun violence, gangs, drugs, wars, employment, costs of living, healthcare, unhealthy diets, huge divide between the rich and the poor... i mean the simple fact that americans fight against universal healthcare is incomprehensible to me as a german. you know, i can go to the doctor whenever i feel like it. you can be unemployed, go to a doctor and not worry about money at all, because it's all covered through our universal healthcare. to americans we are a socialist nightmare i think. for many germans, we're not social enough. also, unlike the united states, europe consists of different countries, not states.
