The reasons why I don't see US democracy as an example
a) only two viable options (and in recent times, two unpopular options) - a real democracy should have more options for voters to choose from
b) The influence of big money donors on campaigns, which is IMHO basically legalized corruption.
Well summarized. My thoughts as well.
Religious nationalism
You also forgot to mention that the only 2 viable options are actually very similar in their policies and ideology, compared to most other democratic countries. Both the republicans and democrats are right wing, and as a UK voter, to me this would be like only being able to choose between reform and conservatives.
@@mrm7058 America democracy wasn't never good to begin with.
@@ultracapitalistutopia3550America has everything ftom religious nationalism and wokeisum
US citizens themselves have low opinion of the country. It doesn’t surprise me that most countries don’t think America is as competent as it has ever been.
I live in California and it’s true. We don’t think the media or politicians care about what’s going on. They just care about the next election cycle. Nothing changes. We are living from cycle to cycle fighting over everything and nothing. And we all know we are heading in the wrong direction
I mean I'm lucky enough to travel for work and this sentiment has been seen pretty much everywhere I've gone.
The US is titanic and no one disagrees its powerful but its politics and social issues are so crazy for a first world nation that it really undercuts its reputation.
No. I don't have a low opinion of the country, just the current leadership.
I think most western countries have a low opinion of themselves
@@spaceowl5957exactly bro. White folks are ashamed of themselves. All they do is complain to each other. I think I’ll get deleted.
Falls by an average of 4.3%. Title: COLLAPSE
this has just started
I'm really shocked that it's not higher tbh. The selective application of international law by not just the US but the entire West should not be taken lightly
My opinion of the US went down about 90% in the last 4 years. No borders. The slaves are running free and destroying everything. Zero global credibility left.
All US has is some momentum in services that will soon die off. The US dollar is a joke almost as big as Zimbabwe now.
Yes, it is clickbait. 🙄
@@ricaard6959 What do you suggest be done?
I don't like the US, but dislike China and Russia more.
I prefer Russia and china
The US is far, far, FAR worse than Russia and China
@@Fr3nchFlag "US is still a Christian democratic country and holds up western values" lmao what christian values would those be? transgenderism and imperialism?
China is less assertive on ideology and militarily
@@dangin8811funny how focused you are on the trans people just trying to live their lives. And how you don’t care about you know actual medical science on the subject. But the US overall supports a rules based international order, fair trade, and the rights of nations to self determination. Meanwhile China and Russia are both actively engaged in land grabs and their own much more literal versions of imperialism.
as a Pole, as long as the U.S. stands against Russia, the American favorability will remain high here
If Polish people really think like that then I feel bad for this level of delusion
FUCK YEA OORAH POLISH MAN
Thats BS, TRUMP is less anti-Russia than Biden or Obana and he is way more popular. Poland will support the Nationalist Right.
same with the baltics and in the east as long as US stand against China. Japan, South Korea and the Philippines will view the US more favorable.
Then just wait till Trump win and settle things down with Russia
Its all from talking too loudly on the train
Facts
have you been to southern europe? they’re louder than any american
@@siohunndai can't say I share this opinion
Americans don't have trains. There is no etiquette for it in the US.
We have trains and the loudest people on them are dutch
Sounds like America's best friend should be changed to Poland. 🇺🇲🇵🇱
why? do you think your best friend is the one that supports you the most matter what you do? that's just illogical because it never involves self-reflection the thought that maybe you do something wrong
Or Kenya. Well not the government, the government is 💩. But the people aren't.
I agree, Poland is better
@@fixponttPoland supports the usa because they remember what life under tyranny is like and how the usa saved them from it. Maybe the rest of europe needs to be reminded so a little gratitude will return to that sad continent
@@STEP107 this is a complete non-sequitur
That video is a bit light on analysis
Lol
😂
I would rather say that analysis are very poorly done.
We don't have much real commentary now. Thierry Baudet once described it perfectly: "listening to most media is like listening to sports commentary from a commentator who doesn't know anything about the sport they're describing"
Better than every other mainstream sources though.
Well the US still have Hollywood and popular culture. Their soft power will remain so long as people still enjoy their entertainment media
Hollywood? Only American watch those craps
Yea lets keep watching those live action remakes or sequels that sure is creative
Hollywood won't last that much longer if they keep making shoddy remakes and sequels nobody asked for and giving priority to shallow, performative diversity box-checking over interesting characters and quality storytelling.
@@VodkaPandas what do you like watching then?
@@efraimgarcia7876 not saying they don't have problems, for sure they do. But the truth is, it still makes money, most popular films for the masses and the biggest studios in the world are still American. No other country is anywhere close to the worldwide scale of American studios. Although, the Koreans have been killing it lately in the global box office
Another way of saying it is "global views on the us have been declining for decades, with a small bump when they replaced the monkey with the corpse".
It will take another massive dip with the second term of the orange baboon.
Hahaha so accurate good one
Poor choice of words
These aren't even global views. Look at that map. Pew 'global' polls have always been far from global, and this is no different.
"Geographically spread"
Mate aren't most of these countries close US allies?
They are indeed. It's especially telling in Africa, where the few countries selected are the ones most positively benefited by american foreign policy. I guarantee that had they included countries such as Egypt, Algeria, Somalia, etc. They would have seen drastically different results. And the fact that worldwide there are no Russian or Chinese allies included, not to mention China and Russia themselves, There' no doubt in my mind that these results were intentionally skewed in the USA's favor.
@@MD-rl9krit was already covered that the muslim ruled countries don’t like the war in gaza.
@@4m4n40 Yes, but not in the original polls. The TLDR team pointed that out, but they didn't organize the polls shown in the beginning of the video, and if you look at those polls, they suspiciously didn't include any Muslim majority nations. I'm saying that those original pollsters had a pro-American bias, not the people who made the video.
Pew 'global' polls have always been far less than global. This one is actually better than most, but still far from global.
That's not what Geography means
The United States is currently going through a political realignment. The last major one was during the 60s, which was exacerbated by the Vietnam War. Your traditional reliant voting blocks are now ebbing and flowing.
Unions, for example, used to be staunch Democrat supporters, but they are now swing voters because party leaders have caved to Progressive pressure on open borders and Green policies. The business elites used to be staunch Republicans until Trump levied tariffs and threatened a NATO exit. They are now also swing voters. We're seeing a slow matriculation of minorities switching from Democrat to Undecided. They can't stand Trump, but they also feel the Democratic Party has taken advantage of their votes with no change in return for far too long.
We'll get through this. We always do.
Progressives in America? Yeah, right...
Uncle Sam is a one-armed man. He only has a right hand.
I've seen no data saying "They can't stand Trump", though I'll concede that his record-high numbers with various groups could be incidental with this shift.
The party leaders have most certainly _not_ caved to progressive pressure on "open borders" or anything close to it. But I think that there is a perception that this is true, which is toxic.
@@unconventionalideas5683The democrats have become more pro union this administration, but that hasn’t been reflected in voters.

As an American, the polarization is definitely the biggest problem with our country now in my opinion. Although to be fair I think other countries (and also in the states) mostly receive news that over-sensationalizes the problems within the US.
And yes we're also sorry for talking way too loud everywhere we go in Europe
I moved to the UK from the US a couple years ago. People in the states are just too turnt up. They need to take whatever they are at (assume that’s a 10), and crank it down to about a 6. Just everything… volume, consumerism, insane energy, social media… just chill
I mean, yes, you have your first amendment, but it doesn’t mean you have to freaking annoy everybody with your opinions. And learn to be more informed about the rest of the world. Americans and America media are way too isolated
Also, I do agree with your point… people’s perception of America in general are a bit skewed. They really only think about mass shootings and other insane things and build perceptions around those things
The Americans I met here in Hungary weren't loud. Do not apologize for that. The problem is that Obama was the last president that could be taken seriously. Since then your foreign policy has been borderline unpredictable. Before 2016 a change in leadership didn't mean a 180degree turn in foreign policy. Now combine that with the rising threat of a nuclear war.
Edit: Also that debate certainly didn't help.
US foreign be like: pendulum, but crank it up to 1000.
Pendulum, but it's doing full circle rotations.
This Russian troll needs to get a better translator.
This doesn’t really mean anything
Keep thinking that when we ditch the dollar and you notice that USA have no real industry anymore (let China produce everything thinking USA would leave off white collars jobs)
Now you have no money, no production and no friends beside the J&ws and those arent very well know for sharing and good deals 😂😂
Reputation and credibility are literally the only things that matter... World's superpower elected leaders talking about golf during the debate... 🤡👈🤦🏻♂️🤣😭
y?
Imagine sacrificing your global reputation in the name of a foreign country, Israel, and even they have a diminishing favorability for you.
Even Israel is going against the US.
Israel's new US is India
No matter what the USA did concerning Israeli-Palestinian war, their reputation would suffer. That's one of this conflict problems: there is no 'good side': both sides wage very brutal war not caring for civilians.
Sure, that's the reason why their reputation is down, definitely not that they have absolutely incompetent, self-serving government that flip-flops on everything
@@wawrzynieckorzen78 there is a good side. The side of innocent civilians
Israel can hardly do that much, russia on other hand did much more which is trying to be hidden swept under rug
The only country that surprised me is Australia. Why is there a 60% unfavourablility compared to just a 40% favourability? Australia is one of USA’s biggest allies along with Canada, UK and New Zealand. Australia is even more willing to join USA’s side in groups like AUKUS than Canada is.
Depends on who were surveyed. There's a pretty loud free Palestine movement at the moment so that could have impacted the survey.
@@AvoidTheCadaver I don’t really think it’s that as the Palestine movement is happening in other countries like Canada and the UK too and they didn’t have such a drop in favourability ratings. Reading more about Australia, it seems like the new Australian government is more keen to reestablish its relationship with China and Australians along with New Zealanders now enjoy visa free travel to China. I think this pivot to China might have played a part.
As an Australian id say a large part of our negative view would have to be a general trend of consolidated usa government power and the choice of 2 shitty presidential candidates, one going senile and the other in a criminal trial.
Here in Australia we have more options to choose from, although with 2.large parties we at least have options.
It also doesn't help that australians have tall poppy syndrome where we "cut down people that have more success" and generally dislike people with a headstart or unfair advantages
It doesn't help that practically every us politician we see sucks and has been in congress for their entire life
I think Trump and to a lesser extent Biden just seriously rub people in politics the wrong way. While that's true in almost every country it's seems to be taken more alot more personally.
@@saltvault8943 completely agree, and considering our democracy is one of the worlds strongest, seeing the collapse of American democracy makes us more worried about China, we don't trade with China because we want to, we trade because it is more convenient for us.
As an american I don't blame them.
Why? Compared to what time? The 50s and 60s?
I agree, our country is garbage.
Poland would be a lot less of an outlier if the poll included more than a handful of countries.
Poland would still be an outlier. Most people around the world have a negative view of Americans.
@@o_o825 yeah so that's where you'd need a source for that
@@timobrenn obviously you would say that, they've been feeding you ever since putin went into ukraine lolol
Poland literally supports n@zis in Ukraine, despite Ukrainians having ethnically cleansed Lwow before. They are a US client state, which means their opinions can be discarded.
@@firasahmed5743 lol, didnt know the scientific method was american propaganda. keep being against the current thing
I dunno about that, US is viewed quite positively in Vietnam and my country is not on the list. This list seems to be quite limited in scope and range.
Perceptions of the US go up and down all the time around the world. This video is a bit of a nothing affair, made to clickbait.
The biggest problems for me is indeed how shaky their democracy looks lately. Trump seems to be literally above the law.
He is. That’s Canon now, the Supreme Court decided 😄
And Biden's a corpse that young people hate for g*nociding all those Palestinians, so he will absolutely lose in November if he stays in the race. Were f*cked, the hope for democracy now lies with the French and the British. It's been a good run.
Ummm, maybe Trump isn’t guilty of crimes? I mean, he’s not a war criminal like George W Bush
Trump 2024 🚂
Not the fact they invaded half the world and murdered millions and sponsored countless other wars? Lol ok
To be honest, I think the long delay in sending aid to Ukraine may be as important as the response to Gaza. Delaying support to a nation widely seen as fighting for its existence due to domestic squabbles wasn’t a great look. Particularly when that nations survival and the defeat of its adversary is in America’s strategic interests. Along with Trumps statements about leaving NATO members to Russia if they don’t pay 2% of GDP on defence, this made a lot of allies less than sanguine on the US. The fact that even with an aid bill blocked Biden did not send as much aid as he was allowed to to Ukraine made it more a general American annoyance rather than a specific one on the Republican Party.
I dont agree about aid for Ukraine as support for Ukraine is only really high in the west, in the global south its low or in some cases pro Russian
@@jimpaddy79To a degree, sure. However, in several nations which depend on American support against China, such as the Philippines and South Korea, and where support is generally high, it has dropped a few points. These nations don’t have much stake in either Gaza or Ukraine specifically. But they are likely to be concerned if they see the US withholding aid to nations it has promised to support due to domestic politics. Since they depend on US geopolitical interest in stopping a large opponent by supporting its smaller neighbours. If the US can be distracted from Ukraine, they are likely to be concerned that it could get distracted from them
Egging a fight between Ukraine and Russia and then wanting to wiggle out is what did it.
@@pottertheavenger1363 It was Russia who started the war, not anybody else.
@@diogorodrigues747 because they felt cornered by NATO.
US favorability goes up and down. Remember George Bush? This too shall pass.
Well, if trump becomes president it will be interesting to watch him dismantle democracy and see how others react
I agree for all the mistakes Bush made he respected democracy. The orange clown will not
@@rachebrother5349 You're hysterical.
An American accusing someone from another country as hysterical is a bit rich. Americans have basically invented modern, hypersensitive hysteria, from prefered pronouns to wokeness to magaism to gun chruches to gender reveal parties to cultural apropriation and all the other nonsense.
@@100c0c the recent supreme court ruling by Trump appointed justices literally permits the president to drone strike political opponents. I dont know if the US passed the point of no-return regarding democracy
If Trump doesn't loose I'm not sure how Biden would react, I could see Trump being drone striked before Biden leaves office in order to prevent Trump doing the same to him.
And I'm not exaggerating, the 4 other justices literally address the president now being able to call on seal team six to kill political adversaries in the dissent...
The true 'favorability index
1. The number of people trying to get into your country
2. The amount of international investment your country
3. The international strength of your currency
4. The international use of your products
5.The number of middle income and wealthy countries that will host your military
These are factors that are outside of favorability, they are jist based on strenght and wealth of a country
@@bulkax303 China has strength and wealth, yet they are weak on 4 out of 5.
@@calc1657 Nog many ppl use Chinese products? Thats a new one. China has the best exports of all countries.

Don't forget about the scotus immunity decision and the overruling of Chevron deference
These polls would not have data that current
It’s sad we can’t get Bush as a war criminal now
They just said what the constitution says and it potentially affects only the case in Georgia. It doesn’t affect the Jan 6 case or the classified documents case. The immunity only applies to the office of the President.
@@mkvenner2Yes but there was the secondary Chevron decision and remember the presidential pardon power, no one can functionally restrict a president now from committing any crime so long as it can be argued that it's in service to the office.
@@Dracon7601 The Chevron doctrine, had courts defer to federal agencies' to make interpretations of ambiguous statutes. Ending It has given the courts the power to decide whether an agency has acted within its statutory authority. Explain to me why you see that as a bad thing?
I've always had critical views of the US, but if I had to choose between them, China and Russia, it would be the US any day.
Exactly, Australia for example might have had a drop in opinion of the US, but I guarantee their opinion of China and especially Russia has dropped further. It's just cringeworthy watching the US fuck themselves up so much

Is it a trend if You’re comparing a one year difference?
It's all because Marvel and DC started making bad movies. They messed up Star-Wars too.
Divide and conquer way of thinking (team A vs team B), awful president, past actions, moral decay on a social level.
How is any of this "moral decay" new? 100 years ago we were effectively operating as a apartheid state. The working poor were crammed into tennement houses and children working 10+ hour days, all under the guise of a "Christian" society.

@@kattapp He's right tho, the extreme polarity in the political system is bound to cause a collapse.

EGREGIOUS VISUAL DATA MISREPRESENTATION (the graph at 6:30) - Not only do you have a typo in the title of the graph, but the "approve" (green) bars do not use the same scale as the "disapprove" (red) bars.

I think this was a deceptive title. You show positive favorability ratings across the board from countries around the world with the exception of Turkey, who famously has regularly low favorabilities of all countries, from neighbors to allies to enemies. The argument that is made, that these numbers are lower than they used to be, does not indicate that they will fall further. In fact, following all the events of the past years, a more accurate title would be "USA's soft power remarkably resilient"
We have a very good reason to hate USA and other so-called allies. We also have bad-blood with most of our "neighbors" because of our Ottoman and Seljuq past.
If Turks hate you, you are:
1) Historical enemy.
2) Butthurt ex-colony (there is no colony mindset in Turks, but i can not find another word for it).
3) Peoples who dont defend their country and fled to Turkiye(young males). Peoples who dont help their brothers/sisters and caused them to fled to Turkiye(Gulf Arabs). Peoples who directly caused them to fled Turkiye (Russia, Israel, whole west again).
Does Latin America & Africa forgets about CIA Coup the oppressing people?
The sample of that poll is so incredibly skewed towards western countries...
Gee I wonder? Supporting Israel clearly doesn't help it's international reputation.
60 years of imperalism will do that to a country
America needs to base its support for a country on their favorability score in said country. Countries with negative views should get less.
Australia how? That's surprising. I thought the British Empire still favors the US.
Half the media here is owned by the Murdochs and there is a constant effort to export US politics here to Australia where it only half fits if at all.
Also, it's kind of hard to see the US as a true democracy anymore between the gerrymandering and Trump being allowed to get away with Jan 6th and a lot of other things, even being given another real shot at the white house.
You haven't done anything to deserve favour
Australia has had a lot of immigration from countries that literally hate America. It is now reflecting in political preferences. There's also a strong anti Jewish/Zionist vibe to the zeitgeist in Australia at the moment.
Country selection for sample size is ridiculous
I think the major problem is expectation.
America has been described as the land of opportunity. But we have seen for years the mistreatment of minorities, the abuse of police power, the extreme wealth disparities, and the unfairness of those with the most money paying the least in taxes.
America has been described as a safe country. But we constantly see gun violence, even at the school level, we see guns in public life, we see a drug crisis, we see people ringing doorbells and being shot at, we see mass murders so often, we've become immune to the horror and the American response has always been to have more guns. It's horrendous.
America has been seen as the land of justice, and yet we see time and again immunity for the rich, most recently that tRump, who has multiple felony convictions, who has trounced the rule of law innumerable times has faced no consequences for his actions. tRump is a convicted rapist, twice impeached, and absolutely a horrible person and president by any measure, and yet he is running for office again with a good chance of winning.
American is also turning into a theocracy. The rights of women being turned back centuries, the rights of minorities being turned back decades, with the SCOTUS as corrupt as any justice panel in the world.
So there's the expectation that Americans will do the right thing, that they belive in justice, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, that they are Superman standing on the hill, doing the right thing anywhere, everywhere. But we see over and over again that Americans have failed themselves. They have failed to live up to their own ideals. America is no longer a special beacon of hope on a hill, but a darkness to be worked with and around. No country wants to be America anymore.
Sounds more to me like the problem is people paying too much attention to sensationalist headlines.
Global opinion- Zero mention of India and China's opinion. Oops we missed out 45% of the world 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The reason why the US democracy isn't a good example anymore, is because the two major parties have Consolidated power and made it much more difficult for any third party to get established legally.
Even independent candidates who don't affiliate with any party are legally required to obtain a specific amount of signatures from legal voters to legally be allowed to run for office.
The second reason is because of the constant in fighting, lack of compromise, identity politics, and a refusal to let states have more autonomy in making their own laws, that last part also coincidence with both parties constantly trying to force all states to conform to their way of life via federal law.
Well thats hardly the only reason unfortunately
FYI every candidate has to achieve so many signatures before they're allowed on the ballot, not just independents/3rd parties. There's no real legal hurdles against third parties, it's just a consequence of how the system is, combined with the fact that the major two parties have more support structures in place to help out their candidates.
You like to ask of us to be caught in your loop which is refreshingly honest, but also unpleasantly suspicious
As an American, I can really care less what the international community thinks.
They're not paying my bills nor supporting my household, so they can worry about reputation all they want, it means nothing in the long run
So you wont mind if the world switches to using the Chinese Yang instead of the US$ for Global Trade then?
the US Economy is ENTIRELY Dependent on other countries using the US$.
@0fficialdregs
Truth be told, Americans who lose sleep over our tarnished reputation around the world are a dying breed. Only 15% of our GDP is foreign generated, and over half of that is NAFTA 2.0. We're almost completely self-reliant, defended by two large oceans on either side of us. Also, the American electorate has become increasingly more populist since the fall of the Soviet Union, and we no longer want to pay for a large navy patrolling the seas for the benefit of China. In short, we're retreating from the world stage, but not because we've been forced to. It's because we just don't need the rest of the world like we used to. As Mel Brooks said in History of the World Part 1, "It's good to be the king."
@disco1974ever
No, we don't mind because it will never happen. The Chinese will drop the value of the Yuan and drive all of your manufacturing out of business as they artificially price you out of the market.
The Yuan will never overtake the US dollar as the fiat world currency because it's too volatile being pegged to the whims of the CCP. The same goes for the Rupee, Ruble, petro dollar, and crypto. BRICS is a joke. Besides, what fool would trade in their US T-bills and government backed securities for Chinese bonds?
Gold and precious metals are too precious and won't keep up with demand, so they're not a viable alternative either.
As for the Euro, well, I've got one word for you: "Cyprus." When European central banks toyed with the idea of confiscating 10% of private bank accounts in order to shore up debt, that knocked the Euro out of fiat consideration forever. Also, in case you haven't noticed, there's a war going on in Europe right now, so the Euro has no stability, and no stability means no confidence.
Whether you like it or not, the US dollar is king and will be for our lifetimes.

Needlessly inflammatory statements such as "America’s Global Reputation Has Collapsed" - which I consider absolutely ridiculous and severely underinformed - are causing me to watch fewer TLDR videos.
The title statement is so poorly considered that I would expect it to come from an ill-informed 11-year old child.
“Untied States” in the chart title is a good one
0:51 This is perhaps the most skewed data set in the history of data sets. A handful of country in Africa, Israel as the single one in the Middle East ( unless you count Turkey as middle Eastern), no China (i.e. the second more populous and powerful state in the world), no Russia, no country in Central America… Basically no one with grievances against the U.S.
bigger vountries were reviewed, Turkey is middle eastern, no china and russia bc they hate the us anyway
To think USA's democracy is exemplary you reeeaaally need to be absolutely clueless about how USA's democracy actually works.
Really that’s why everyone wants to immigrate to the USA
its not the highest on the totem pole on where people want to move. there are other options

Jokes aside, good work, keep up the independent journalism. ❤
So the poorer the country, the more favourable...
As someone from tunisia, I'd like to disagree lol
Ah yes Poland and South Korea both known for being soo poor...
In poor countries most people don't care about politics, so they don't tend to have a strong opinion on anything
@@HidekiRyugaxx Poor countries and countries who The USA helped through foreign aid or military intervention like in South Korea and Poland. Like shit if The USA is the reason you're a sovereign state and why North Korea hasn't tried anything then yeah you'd probably like The US, likewise if your Polish and The US helped during WWII you'd probably have a favourable opinion of them.
You'd probably not like The US if they exploit/ed your country and attempted/executed multiple coups on your sovereign democratically elected government.
This video literally demonstrates that there's a way higher percentage of people who see the US favourably in less developed/poorer countries on average compared to developed/wealthy countries, this is obviously multifaceted.
@@HidekiRyugaxx I'd also say that Poland and South Korea aren't exactly known for being particularly rich/wealthy or desirably to live in compared to other developed nations like Switzerland, both are export manufacturing economies and it's important to equate the quality of life of the median citizen over the total GDP, I wouldn't call either countries poor by any means, I was just saying that the poorer the country the more favourable to The USA they are on average, your 2 statistical outliers are not contrary to my point.
I shocked when saw singapore have more unfavourable view on USA
They hate us cause they ain't us 💅💅💅

@@ChrisJohannsen he US is the richest nation in the world, has the strongest military, largest economy, most influential politically, best universities, best sports nation, dominates music, movies, TV shows, top companies, top internet sites, most diverse, immigrant nation, most Nobel Prize winners by far, first nation to put a man on the moon, fought off Germany and Japan and rebuilt Europe through the Marshall Plan, protected Europe from Communism and fought off communist Soviet Union, US gives more foreign aid than any other nation in the world. The US also provides the breakthroughs in much of medicine and technology that Europeans then use, without having created with their system. Europeans are able to live in a peaceful world order where they can spend less on military and focus on their homogenous societies. But that doesn’t happen out of a vacuum. It comes from the Pax Americana the US provided. If every liberal democracy was Denmark, fascism, communism, authoritarianism and/or Islamic fundamentalism would dominate the world and nations would all be immeasurably worse off. Not to mention that besides other smaller nations having their quality of life because of the U.S. created world order and US advancements, no nation in human history as large and diverse as the US has had as high a quality of life as the US. The only nations that can have a higher quality of life than the US are nations much smaller, more homogenous, which benefit from the US created world order and US advancements, and which are specifically smaller and more homogenous than most large countries. Of course the top nation in the world will always be the most targeted, it’s always been this way. A truly mediocre nation would not be as targeted, because people have the inclination to try to take out the guy at the top

The real surprise is that anyone bothered to ask a bunch of nobodies about their opinions of the US.
it can be chalked up to four things.
1. Trade war and actual war
Massive countries, particularly those in BRICS, are trying to veer away from american and western influence in a sort of ad hoc attempt to disengage culturally and socially with the US and its cultural power. a mostly knee-jerk response that wont last in the long run, since america is still a major trade partner through sheer size and production alone.
2. Republicans
The republicans are responsible for some of the biggest hits to america's reputation, from the stalling of aid to Ukraine to the crackdown on protests against Israel. but perhaps most directly worrying is the recent string of extra-judicial and anti-democratic moves that crack down on religious and physical freedom for people. the unraveling of roe v wade, a legal precedent with decades of backing, was perhaps the most clear cut example. we also have republicans fighting to re-introduce child labor, to defend child marriage and to ban books. If trump becomes president its very likely the US might cease to be an ally of the west all-together.
3. Ukraine
i really need to emphasize the slowness of the american response in regards to sending aid to Ukraine, because whilst republicans were responsible for stalling it, Biden has been pussyfooting as well. the same country that shoveled its resources into maintaining afghanistants weak and tenuous government drags its feet in regards to helping in the defense of a fully fledged sovereign democracy that is aligned with the west and being attacked by the rivals of the US. the fact that a country can be beset by russia, china, iran and North korea and not recieve full american aid was unbelievable, and its a wakeup call to europe on several levels.
4. Israel
Hamas is bad, Palestine is not innocent, but we are watching an active genocide (by displacement and replacement) occuring in the occupied zones of palestine, as Israeli bombardment and soldiers push the palestinians to become refugees in their own lands, followed by hordes of z ionist settlers stealing palestinian land for new settlements. we are watching imperialism in real time and the US refuses to acknowledge it.
Perfect summary
Very well summarized
The whole Ukraine thing is a very strange reason to not like the U.S. I could see it as a good reason if you or your countrymen supported Russia instead, but if you support Ukraine, then the U.S. has given more support to Ukraine than anybody else, even more than all of the EU has given. Yes there's been some delays and resistance to it, but even with that taken into account, the U.S. has given far more than others have. It's like if your fridge broke down and you asked your friends for help- all your other friends hand you $5 or $10, but one friend gives you $100, but then says he'll have to have a chat with his wife before he gives you any more money. And then you and the friends all get mad at the friend who gave the $100 for not forking over more cash right then and there, despite him helping more than anybody else did.
@@adamperdue3178
Except most of the American Ukraine aid goes back into the American pocket.
The US donates some old weaponry, then buys new expensive weaponry for itself, and then adds the price tag of its own new weapon to the aid price tag.
To use your analog, it would be like if a bunch of dudes gave a homeless guy 10-20 bucks, then Jeff bezos comes along, proclaim loudly "I will give this homeless man 100 dollars", but then turns around and puts 90 of those dollars back into his own pocket.
@@boarfaceswinejaw4516 Which is unlike everybody else how, first of all? Keeping with the analogy, it'd be like one friend just giving you their old (but very much functional) fridge, and then going out and buying themselves a new one- saying the money's just somehow magically going back into America's pocket is a delusional take, because the money still having to be spent to buy those replacements.
It's also important to keep in mind that not everything is from old stockpiles- a lot of the aid given is fresh off the production line (especially things such as shells and other ammunition), and a lot is direct cash payments.
Jeez, who made the Biden Gaza bar chart?! How can the higher disapproval number have a smaller bar length and when roughly equal still wildly different too, several times I see this. Very sus...
Kinda surprising that most ordinary Russian have a better view of the US than most ordinary Americans.
The only critique I hear of America as a South African is their unconditional support of Israel, especially now. I'd say that South Africans are still obsessed with American media and culture.
Watching American movies and hearing American songs doesn't nessarly means supporting or loving American government. Alot of these American movies and songs are eather neutral or activity critisizening the American government and their role in the world
How on earth Japan was high approval despite Hiroshima bombings?

I think this is interesting analysis with some good points, but I’d be curious how this compares to other ratings across the board. What countries have had improved reputations? Or is this a case of everyone disliking other people as usual?

Ohhhh better not check those freedom rankings buddy...
Something to add is that despite the war in Ukraine the reality Americans increasingly don’t want to play a major role in Europe any we see our interests as being as being more in the Asia Pacific now a days so we probably aren’t putting as much effort into winning hearts and minds in Europe as we once did.
