Explanation: Ireland was fought and oppressed by England for centuries. Ireland did not become fully independent until 1949 (!). War is still being waged over the north of the island - Northern Ireland - even if it is peaceful at the moment. The wound is fresh.
@@anglosaxon5874 I said "fully independent" - after Ireland also seceded from the British Commonwealth of Nations in 1949. Only then was it completely independent of Great Britain. Believe me 'cause I'm a historian or just read wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland 🙃
@@AtotehZ To this day, Ireland has not regained the population it had before the potato blight. In 1845-49, 1.5 million Irish died of starvation. Another 2 million emigrated to escape starvation.

I’m Irish, from Limerick. I do not hate the English. Governments were/ are responsible not the ordinary people!! The conflict was/is primarily political, fuelled by historical events. I can recall the loan Ireland got from the UK during the last financial crisis. It borrowed £3.23bn as part its international bailout in 2010. Some choose to forget!
Finally a sensible person who can distinguish between a country's politicians and actual normal people who have nothing to do with their nations actions. I'm English (with both Irish and NI heritage) and I don't hate Ireland at all. Even though most Irish people are conditioned to have a blind hatred dor anyone/thing English. It's only those people I don't like, the average Irish person is very decent, friendly and understanding that the past is the past.
@@IlikeTrainsguy100 "Most Irish are conditioned to having a blind hatred of English" By this did you mean having history taught in our schools? It's not our fault ye don't come across well.
I dont think Europeans hate americans. But the Bibel belt, religious madness, greed, no trust in others, wellfare, hospitals system, endless wars for other countries resources is not much liked... Personally i see USA as a mememememe community.
I'm from Canada but a person I met on facebook from England keeps referring to political things and uses turnips when talking about political things. I don't quite understand why but he will post pictures with turnips replacing the heads of political figures.
Kinda sad that people in the replies here don't get your reference to the Irish Potato Famine where millions of Irish people were starved to death because of the English
As a Korean myself: Why on earth would some person in Ireland hate North Korea? What did they ever do to anyone outside of their fellow Koreans? Is this an American thing, where the bullies need enemies to justify their bullying?
That's exactly what it is. This dude knows absolutely nothing about North Korea or it's people. Just repeating what politicians & talking heads on the television programming brainwash him with. I'm English and also subjected to the same brainwashing only I see straight through the bull shit propaganda and made a choice around 4 years ago to not watch television at all anymore. When the fear propaganda is on a slow month the British Brainwashing Corporation always roll out the North Korea bogey man stories. Having not watch T.V or listen to politicians for some time the propaganda is glaringly obvious to me these days.
It's partially an ideological thing and in parts also a hate born from existential dread. Since the cold war has "thawed", we like to imagine that the world in its entirety has made huge leaps in progress towards world peace and global cooperation when in truth it is still the case that multilateral agreements are forged only between countries that are ideologically close. Naturally there are treaties between countries that have different forms of government or even different ideologies but these are always formed in the interest of mutual benefit and never because of benevolence of one party toward the other. Rather than answer the specific question of 'why some person in Ireland would hate North Korea', I would put forth an explanation as to why any person living in a democracy would hate any country that is not democratic. To further preface this subjective analysis of mine I will add that in my experience the people living in a democracy can be divided into two main factions: pacifists (former isolationists) and crusaders - I would count myself among the latter. While in the past, isolationists were content with leaving other democracies' problems to other democracies, pacifists nowadays are content with forming diplomatic agreements with any and every other country in the world, whilst declaring that would peace has been achieved. On the other hand, crusaders actively work towards supporting democracies around the world against and sanctioning authoritarian regimes. It is thanks to the ones that I classified as "crusaders" (and you dubbed them "bullies") living in the U.S. that this American country entered World War II and essentially lead a crusade against the authoritarian regimes of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan - ultimately enforcing a democratic regime in occupied territories. From the perspective of a democratic crusader I can tell you that though I hate countries such as Russia, China, North Korea, Turkey that does not mean that I hate all Russians, Chinese, Koreans, Turkish - on the contrary! I wish for them to be able to govern themselves and for every single citizen to enjoy the greatest possible amount of freedom in civilized society. Simultaneously, I have to live with the fact that those three countries (Russia, China, North Korea) are ruled by megalomaniacs with access to weapons of mass destruction. There you have it: ideological aversion and existential dread are my causes for hating certain countries (not the populace though).
I mean i have to agree though. It's a dictatorship with brutal conditions for the people. I don't hate the people of north korea, nor would i hate the people of russia currently. But the country in terms of it's government? I definitely would say hating north korea or russia in those terms is justified for someone who's far away from it. Why? Empathy for the people living there simply.
I am amazed (yet again) by the lack of knowledge on the truly awful past relationship between Ireland and the UK (Greatbritain, or more colloquially used here as "England") in the USA. We (in Europe) learn at school so much about how the USA were founded after they fought the War of Inpependence against their colonizers, about the treatment of the Indigenous people there, about the Civil War and slavery, about conquering the West (well, partly the Wild West, of course) and spreading over the breadth of that huge land. Yet, no one there seems to know anything about European history, apart perhaps from WW II and Holocaust, and maybe a tiny bit of French Revolution. It is shocking, truly.
to be fair, as European, we don't study any of the asian history. I remember in high school that Japan only got like half page in my history book , China was completely absent or at least i don't remember it being ever mentioned. The only things that i know about the wars happened between Korea, China, Japan etc. is stuff that i'm learning NOW on youtube on my own
@@gianlucaangelibut for Americans they should know a little bit about Europe. Especially Britain and Ireland as a lot of them come from there. I don’t expect them to know every European country history but Britain and Ireland they should know. Also the troubles weren’t that long ago. My parents were alive during the bombings.
@@gianlucaangeli To be fair there is not too much time in the school years for everything and for some weird reason a 300 years old american country takes up kinda a lot of school time and lot of pages, waaay too much. While there is other more important countries to learn about in history class. The whole usa thing should be only 4 pages on maximum. Even funnier is that some european countries even have to learn the names of american states on geography class for some unknown reasons. While americans only know the name of some countries like as russia, germany, italy, UK, france, spain on a maximum. It's just ridiculous how their education don't give a s**t about the world outside of them but the world needs to learn every little detail about that 300years old foreign country.
When I was a student in the UK, a lot of foreign students were confused. By the way Brits can "hate" a country, but not "hate" the people that come from there. We often treat a country's government and it's actual people as two different things. I suspect the Irish do a similar thing.
That's very true. There are a few countries I don't like (not hate but yeah) but it's towards the country and it's politicians itself, not the actual people. There are one or two countries where I feel the opposite but it's very few.
I hope that's the case aswell here in the Netherlands. Can't say for sure since I am not very social, and I often think different than others. Anyone else here classifying killing flies as a kind of murder? Even mosquito's only get killed under strict circumstances. Predator animals get less mercy though, although I find actually killing hard. (Makes me feel bad)
I like the way he suggested England to those who couldn’t decide, even though that’s down to history but when the guy said Japan he said that’s sometime ago. Perhaps if it been a recent video they might have had a different answer.
Personally, I don't hate any country. I disagree with certain governments/politics/attitudes of other countries - the same way I do when it comes to these things in my own country. And I have preferences where I would like (or could imagine) to live and where not. That's it. As for the obvious example: I lived and worked in the US for some time. The nature is great, some people I met were great and most people I met were at least okay, excepts the occasional complete a-hole you could encounter anywhere. I may even make a few bucks more each year, bottom line. But I also can't imagine to permanently settle down in the US. The inherent "nice cluelessness" of big parts of the population would enrage me at least twice a week and what left of my nerves would get utterly destroyed by concerns about What-ifs. What if I get sick, what if I lose my job, what if some random nutjob decides to go on an armed rampage? Long story short: I don't hate the US. But I would love what the US *could be* if they would open their minds and get their shit together.
In Greece we don't love McDonald's It was a big failure, they didn't manage to have a lot of restaurants in our country because local people don't prefer it.
Ireland was occupied, oppressed, and exploited by England for centuries. During the famine in the 19th century, which some call a genocide, food was grown in, and exported from, Ireland while the Irish people ate grass and starved. The Choctaw people sent relief money from America to Ireland during the famine. It’s sad to think they may have had more understanding of Irish history than Americans today. It’s not a football thing! England still occupies Northern Ireland.
@@susannepalm9740but didn't they choose to, since it's a democracy and the land of the free? Always pointing at other counties like, a well, North Korea.....but doing worse themselves?
You should visit the place before judging it. Also the people there are used to those conditions since the first second of their life time, so it's the normal for them.
Neighboring countries often have that "frenemy" relationship where they either love or hate each other depending on the context. We in Finland are the best friends with Sweden when it is about defence politics or such, but in the ice hockey rink we are mortal enemies. It's a bit like siblings: on normal days they call each other stupid, but if something serious happens, they'll go to any lengths to defend each other.
The Irish and British history is very complicated. It’s that complicated, if I tried to explain it. I will probably make it worse and start another civil war 😂😂😂
Brit here. We oppressed and tried to starve the Irish for years. Its no wonder we're not popular. Ireland and Irish people are my favourite cultures/people in the world, but we can't do anything about our shameful history.
@@DarrenFord11111 I beg to disagree. I've experienced when I was young the hate that many Dutch people felt towards Germany, which was logical because the Nazis had occupied the Netherlands a couple of decades earlier. Now that the generation that lived in that time has mostly died, most of the hate has melted away. I don't think you can say that experiencing a violent occupation counts as "being ignorant". On the contrary: you might say that war trauma is an education in itself.
@@DarrenFord11111you can find ignorant people in every country. That would mean no one would like anyone. Most people hate couloirs England (which is small on the map) because of its brutal history. Do you think Indians hate the uk because of ignorant people or because of the number of genocides they committed when they were in charge?
It is funny the fact that the Americans -who have invaded half the countries of the planet and have organized coups in the other half- expect the world to like them and dislike random countries, like North Korea or China, that have not bothered anyone. I like you Ryan but in this video you sound like a real american. Also, if you allow me, I would tell you that it is nice to learn about the culture, architecture, food of Europe, etc., but it would also be good to learn the history and geopolitics of the world. There are two interesting series ("Geography Now" and "History Now"), an interesting channel ("History Oversimplified") and a video that many TH-camrs have reacted to, entitled "History of the entire world, I guess".
Yeah he act indeed like a real one this time. About history I would love to hear how Americans talked about a country which invaded their homeland. But till this day they were so lucky because of the huge bodies of water at both sides
This is a TH-cam series which in every video he asking people from a different country. Although indeed many people says that they hate US (because of wars), also many people hate neighbor countries because of their history and the conflicts. For example in this video the Irish hate England because until this day England occupies the north area of the Ireland island. Edit: As for the North Korea... actually the Americans are the people who hate North Korea. And the people in the countries that US controls. The rest of the planet don't have any problem with North Korea. Not really. And why should have. North Korea didn't start any war.
Yeah America many years ago was fine but now it's a lot different. Yes the politics plays a big part but also in general the people have become loud and obnoxious and full of themselves. Generally there's a lot of good and nice Americans but as a whole for society it's the worst.
When you ask people what country they hate they try to comply with an answer. Irish people don't hate the English. It's just expected that they'll say that so they comply.
Americans in general. Simple example, American women go mental for a 'British' man. Since peaky blinders the numbers of them are crazy, they love Cillian Murphy's accent so much.........
I wonder how native Americans or Hawaiians would answer that particular question. I guess maybe for many Americans history doesn't matter because you don't learn about it and don't care about it, but for most of the world history is very important.
Yes, history is an important thing to learn about. Because history is what made formed the world and the people to be what we see today and also we can learn from mistakes of the past and try to not make the same mistakes again.
I think it stems from the time when the Irish invaded and took slaves from England 500-900 AD [at the same time as the Vikings/Angles/Saxons/Jutes invasions]. So when England formed 'proper' under William the Conquer, and the Normans became more 'English', they decided to get their revenge and started to take over Ireland [it did take 400 years because of distractions].
@@anglosaxon5874 Interesting justification attempt but incorrect. Ye invaded because 1. Land grab and 2. Fear Spain or France would use Ireland as a staging point for invasion.
@@Steve-gr6jm NO you are incorrect. Once we had a strong army we invaded Ireland to stop them attacking us and when we saw they were all divided clans, we decided to conquer. Spain wasn't even around then not for a few hundred more years. You don't even know your history!
Southern Ireland is a fully independent country. Part of the EU. People on here talk nonsense about the "ongoing war" with Britain. Ulstermen and women (Northern Ireland), are happy to remain British. Americans have no grasp of the situation in Northern Ireland, just a simplistic colonial out-of-date view that Britain is somehow still an "oppresser". That is absolutely not true.
Northern Irish people have the option to choose their nationality. Don't just assume they're British because you want them to be. Many are Irish, and choose to be, some choose to be British. This number has heavily decreased since Brexit of people choosing British as their nationality
@@DarrenFord11111 So Scotch are not that proud to be British... Esspecially after that Brexit BS... The UK always was dominanted by England over the centuries...
You don't speak for the majority of Catholics in Ulster so please do stfu. It comes across as gaslighting and makes us want to do things ye label us as terrorists for.
True, the question in on itself is really dumb Why would you hate an entire country? People in there, especially lesser educated ones, could be easily manipulated by this or that big actor, usually the politicians, so what's the commoner guilty for?
I think when someone says that they hate a country with a democratic regime, the hate applies to the populace but when the target of hate is a country with an authoritarian regime, it is only the leader/leading party/leading dynasty that is the intended target of hate. Maybe this only applies to me, but when I say that I hate North Korea, China and Russia, that should not be taken to mean that I hate all Koreans, Chinese and Russians. And if I were to declare that I am concerned for the U.S. then that would indeed mean that I am concerned for the general US populace in regards to where they are steering their country ^^
About USA, the most people is not that they don't like the country or the people, they don't like the foreigner policy of the country and also the high racism there is in some states. You can search on Internet for the history of 20th century about facts you will not learn at school, because that will be not so patriotic for the US educational system. Not only about inventions and conflicts in other countries, but large interference and influence in the internal affairs of too many countries, almost in all countries of the world. They wanted, and still want, to influence governments or even change governments if it was not in the interests of the USA. Interests, of course, primarily economic, commercial, but also in the long term, strategic or about the oil. And for this whole situation we can't just blame the Cold War or Russia and China today, but the political-military establishment and multinational lobbies, they call it "Military-Industrial Complex". Because it is very complex indeed. It is not only strategic and entangled interests of the government in foreign policy, but issues of promotion and protection of the interests of the American Multinationals, primarily the oil companies, because the protection of the oil reserves is of course always a priority.
Ryan, sorry, but instead of always just this little North Korea, I would suggest Russia on current occasion, that would be a real candidate, Russia is currently a lot more dangerous to world peace than North Korea has ever been ... please, don`t listen always only to American media, press and politicians, I guess you must have noticed that this is not always a good thing to form a really informed own opinion from the many videos you`ve seen about comparisons between the USA and the rest of the world.
As a Russian, even I agree with you on this point. I only don’t understand foreigners, who blame Russian ppl for this, like we are not protesting or we brainwashed… maybe those “brave” ppl from the west world could try to protest in Russia at least. I am sure that after that they would change their point of view (you know, after being jailed for 5-7 years 😢)
@@alinarizvanova934 Now it's me who agrees 👍 Exactly this aspect is reported and discussed again and again in Germany, where I live, so everyone is aware of it or should be.
HAHAHA!! Irish guy says he dont like England, coz "they dont know how to drink" 🤣🤣🤣 i can confirm this, as every summer, English guys come to Denmark, my homeland, and they can barely walk when drunk, going around vomitting all over the place... every country the English go to, for drinking, have some messure in place, JUST for them 🤣🤣🤣
Thing also IS that Wars Europe had are far différent than modern usa ones, except independance and somewhat pearl Harbor, you Never lived (or Heard by from your parents/grandparents) under occupation or constant fear to be under bombs. Why would i hate North korea ? I don't like their ideology, but i Never even met one. I feel like for americans it's more an abstract concept
Ryan there is a long ,complicated and bloody history between Ireland ( both the Republic and Ulster) and the UK. Plus us Irish, Welsh, Scots feel its our duty to jokingly 'hate' English people (most of us arent serious about it)
So funny , no where I'd rather live than America. I've been to the UK a few times. Was always so glad to be home. They are patronizing and think they know it all , even the chavs. They always seem so depressing and miserable. So when I touch ground back in the U.S. , I feel elated !
Ryan, look at context. Ireland has been invaded, settled, etc. for centuries, when the 13 colonies were revolting, Ireland had been formally under the government of England for two centuries. The long term grudge is because of the long-term history, it's like the feuds in American communities, ie. "John is bad because his grandfather stole the neighbours great-grandfather's car, and his mother had our cousin imprisoned on jumped up charges". So there was the independence movement in the 20th century, officially declared in 1949, but there's still Northern Ireland, the Troubles, and that is still not settled. Like the Korean War it's not over, just on hiatus.
America is technically the United States of America and is part of the continent called North America which also includes Canada, Mexico, Greenland and a large amount of islands. By the way Canada is a separate country, we are Canadians, not Americans!
@@peggyfraser-smith9325 I was not aware that North America and South America are separate continents and that Greenland is part of North America. Thank you for the correction. 😁👍
As a european, I would never want to live on the USA, but I don't hate you, its just a different culture, that I respect. In fact, I'm always suspicious about people that don't love their own country, besides North Korea or something like that .
I wouldn't say I hate a country per sé, mainly because I've only been to 7 countries. It's more the people. There's good and bad in every country. It's the ignorance of the people I hate and yes this also unilateral. Alot of Europeans and British slag off the US. As we all know, there's alot of ignorance about history of other countries, biased teaching about the States being the best and centre of the universe. In my experience, Americans I've spoken to have genuinely been interested, they seem to be wise to the fact that they are taught/brainwashed (as one put it) wrongly. The majority are great people. There's simarlily ignorant people worldwide. It's usually because of a religious belief or political reason, I'm looking at Russia and the Middle East here, that turns me off a 'country' but Im not stupid enough to blame the whole population. As with Britain, there's always some who agree and some who dissagree with politics, social issues, immigration issues etc. Try being English, living not far from the Welsh border, going into North Wales. You get ignored when you speak English, but other places are fine. Luckily I speak some Welsh 😅
I can’t believe you don’t know why Irish people hate England! And no the troubles weren’t 200 years ago. They didn’t finish until 1990 with The Good Friday Agreement. despite that they are still rumbling on. If this question had been asked in any other country the answer would have been America. Mainly because you are oblivious to anything going on in the world that doesn’t affect you. Sorry to vent but I’m totally shocked.
As a European myself, the moment I realized that they were asking Irish people, I knew the great majority of them would say England - and also why. I don’t know everything about the history of the two countries, but still enough to get an idea. But hey, European history with all our conflicts is confusing enough for us Europeans. I can only imagine how hard it must be for people from the US to get it, even for those who are interested. I can see where you are coming from, though. The ignorance of many people from the US towards the rest of the world sometimes makes me aggressive, too. It wouldn‘t hurt them to learn a little bit more about other countries. This American here, Ryan, tries at least! Let‘s not be mean to those who try.
I don't like countries where the sharia is still in place and those on which there's a lot of poverty, corruption, terror, etc (like Somalia eg). That didn't mean that there aren't good people in those countries, but I would never want to live there or even visit. The government, laws, social structure etc is just terrible imo.
It is an obvious answer, if you ask an Irish man, for the 99% of the times, they will say "England". A piece of their island is still under the british control.
Weirdly enough, Germany has quite amicable relations with France. Since both countries are democracies, it stands to reason that the quiet majority of people does not in fact resent the other country or its inhabitants.
@@prixtront7240I am half German half American and I have been living in southern France for decades. When I first moved here, there were a lot of resentments ushered against germans. Americans not so much. Now the tables have turned quite a bit, they seem to accept germans much more easily and I keep my mouth shut about my US inheritance. Trump and what is playing out now has done enormous damage to the US image in Europe in general. We're watching in horror, as we do right now for Israel.
It would take me weeks to wrotte down all the countries and reasons what i don't like and it wouldn't be hate but i think like 90% of people would agree they don't like their country becose of their goverment
Absolutely North Korea. Russia and China a bit aswell, but that is more dislike. Also, all those countries are bad IMO because their leaders. When talking abouyt the civilians in them almost all of them are quite good.
Of course differs per person. Western countries also have a lot of hooligans. Also didn't wanna aggrivate anyone by going extreme, plus I don't know anyone from there so I can't really say to sure. Also, did you actually mean Asian as in Chinese or one of the other countries I named? Because Asia is a lot bigger than just those. Russian people mostly don't even live in Asia but Europe, so far I know at least. Asking because I know there are people who see Asia pretty much as one country, and I obviously have no idea who you are apart from that one reaction.
To find out why the Irish don't like the English, just study the History of Ireland! And, to eat American junkfood doesn't mean that the person should like the country it comes from ...
This vox pop is asking Irish people who they don't like , the English ruled Ireland for 800 years and there's a residual dislike for them. Hatred is too strong a word .
The question should've been, which leader of a country do you hate the most? My top 5 most hated are 1 Vladimir Putin Russia, 2 Joe Biden USA, 3 Justin Trudeau Canada, 4 XI Jinping China, 5 Kim Jong Un, runner up Anthony Albanese Australia! Top 3 were hard to choose the order but I settled with this order! What leaders do you hate?
*it's like asking what substance is wet... and if it weren't because you don't know your country's name, bless you, I'd think you're trying to avoid blame lol or both... and the fact your country as a whole is being the definition of narcissism and doesn't want to do&be better & be good humans as a whole...*

I don’t really hate America. But I really hate the fact that America has all the possibilities to truly be the greatest country in the world, but any of them are used. America could be a blessing to ALL its inhabitants and even the rest of the world but instead the government chose to shape it into the capitalist hellscape it is today, aided by ridiculous amounts of propaganda. There’s a lot of countries that could use some serious improvement, that’s just the way the world is, but the US are the only country in the world that has the tools to massively improve but they don’t use it.
Why would you hate North Korea? Because you were taught to hate it? I don't remember any war North Korea started or fueled on the other part of the planet.
I do not hate other countries. Why would I? To hate North Korea does not make any sense. They do not threaten any other country. North Korea is terrible for their own people, but they are not the only country that treats their citizens bad. Russia is also a nice country, and China as well. I do hate the war In Ukraine and all the other wars that could continue because of the military supplies from the west. There should be negotiations to stop it. It is important to stop hating and stop wars.
"There should be negotiations to stop it" Statements like this are so unfathomably asinine they can truly only be made by one who has lost all attachment to reality. In case it is not clear to you: Russia wants something which right now is in the possession of Ukraine. Ukraine is not willing to give Russia what it wants. Therefore Russia ABANDONS NEGOTIATIONS AND DECIDES TO USE MILITARY FORCE instead to try to impose their will on Ukraine. "The west" has decided to support Ukraine with military supplies, while politically condemning and economically sanctioning Russia. Where do you see room for negotiations? Also, how would you stop an ongoing war?
And a Taiwon, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and pretty much everywhere else in South East Asia thing. Military intimidation, controlling the seas, building islands to use a military bases in places that don't belong to them. You must be European to not know how hated China is.
Pearl Harbor - Hiroshima and Nagasaki 😢. Seriously “don’t mess with Americans…” better think more about it. USA is still involved in a lot of wars they don’t have the right to be on.
whats your problem with North Korea? did they bombed your city? I come from Serbia and the Americans bombed my City but even i wouldnt say that i hate America.
If you would ask me this question, I would reject the word hate. Why should I hate a complete nation a whole civilization? Also with the Russian Imperial Invasion on Ukrain, I don't dislike the whole country. I dislike Putin and his regime of murders and also the stupid side of many people which don't reask the situation and talking the same fake news like the Russian television and supporting the murder. This makes me also really sad! But besides that, there are many good things about Russia. Those Russians or Russo-Germans I know, are very friendly people and those I know, reask the situation. Generally talking, if I am talking negativley about nations I don't have any or I have only a view bonds to, it is mainly the anti democractic political situation, also right wing and conservative movements, agressive attitude, extreme religious situation, anti human rights and anti openes, anti equality, anti freedom, ... social situation there. So it is more an ideological kind of criticism. But beneath this, the most criticised country from my perspective is my nation of orgin, the land I am living in😂! And secondary those countries I have a closer relationship to, including the USA 😂😅

I’m Irish, from Limerick. I do not hate the English. Governments were/ are responsible not the ordinary people!! The conflict was/is primarily political, fuelled by historical events.
I can recall the loan Ireland got from the UK during the last financial crisis.
It borrowed £3.23bn as part its international bailout in 2010. Some choose to forget!
Finally a sensible person who can distinguish between a country's politicians and actual normal people who have nothing to do with their nations actions.
I'm English (with both Irish and NI heritage) and I don't hate Ireland at all. Even though most Irish people are conditioned to have a blind hatred dor anyone/thing English.
It's only those people I don't like, the average Irish person is very decent, friendly and understanding that the past is the past.
@@IlikeTrainsguy100 "Most Irish are conditioned to having a blind hatred of English"
By this did you mean having history taught in our schools? It's not our fault ye don't come across well.
I dont think Europeans hate americans. But the Bibel belt, religious madness, greed, no trust in others, wellfare, hospitals system, endless wars for other countries resources is not much liked... Personally i see USA as a mememememe community.
Irish and Europeans hate Trump and the capitalist idealogy of the USA. We lean more on socialism

England vs Ireland is not a soccer/football thing, its a potato thing....
It is more England invaded Ireland in the Middle Age and has part of it still under it‘s thumb
not everything in the world revolves around scoccer or football, there are much more important things
I'm from Canada but a person I met on facebook from England keeps referring to political things and uses turnips when talking about political things. I don't quite understand why but he will post pictures with turnips replacing the heads of political figures.
its actually an invasion and occupation thing. We have our own football
Kinda sad that people in the replies here don't get your reference to the Irish Potato Famine where millions of Irish people were starved to death because of the English
As a Korean myself: Why on earth would some person in Ireland hate North Korea? What did they ever do to anyone outside of their fellow Koreans? Is this an American thing, where the bullies need enemies to justify their bullying?
That's exactly what it is.
This dude knows absolutely nothing about North Korea or it's people.
Just repeating what politicians & talking heads on the television programming brainwash him with. I'm English and also subjected to the same brainwashing only I see straight through the bull shit propaganda and made a choice around 4 years ago to not watch television at all anymore.
When the fear propaganda is on a slow month the British Brainwashing Corporation always roll out the North Korea bogey man stories. Having not watch T.V or listen to politicians for some time the propaganda is glaringly obvious to me these days.
It's partially an ideological thing and in parts also a hate born from existential dread.
Since the cold war has "thawed", we like to imagine that the world in its entirety has made huge leaps in progress towards world peace and global cooperation when in truth it is still the case that multilateral agreements are forged only between countries that are ideologically close. Naturally there are treaties between countries that have different forms of government or even different ideologies but these are always formed in the interest of mutual benefit and never because of benevolence of one party toward the other. Rather than answer the specific question of 'why some person in Ireland would hate North Korea', I would put forth an explanation as to why any person living in a democracy would hate any country that is not democratic. To further preface this subjective analysis of mine I will add that in my experience the people living in a democracy can be divided into two main factions: pacifists (former isolationists) and crusaders - I would count myself among the latter. While in the past, isolationists were content with leaving other democracies' problems to other democracies, pacifists nowadays are content with forming diplomatic agreements with any and every other country in the world, whilst declaring that would peace has been achieved. On the other hand, crusaders actively work towards supporting democracies around the world against and sanctioning authoritarian regimes. It is thanks to the ones that I classified as "crusaders" (and you dubbed them "bullies") living in the U.S. that this American country entered World War II and essentially lead a crusade against the authoritarian regimes of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan - ultimately enforcing a democratic regime in occupied territories. From the perspective of a democratic crusader I can tell you that though I hate countries such as Russia, China, North Korea, Turkey that does not mean that I hate all Russians, Chinese, Koreans, Turkish - on the contrary! I wish for them to be able to govern themselves and for every single citizen to enjoy the greatest possible amount of freedom in civilized society. Simultaneously, I have to live with the fact that those three countries (Russia, China, North Korea) are ruled by megalomaniacs with access to weapons of mass destruction.
There you have it: ideological aversion and existential dread are my causes for hating certain countries (not the populace though).
I don't hate anything,but the condotions for the people in North Korea is horrible ! I feel deeply sorry
If anything we would hate Russia
I mean i have to agree though. It's a dictatorship with brutal conditions for the people. I don't hate the people of north korea, nor would i hate the people of russia currently. But the country in terms of it's government? I definitely would say hating north korea or russia in those terms is justified for someone who's far away from it. Why? Empathy for the people living there simply.
You cannot hold such an interview in the US as they do not know any country or the actual meaning of that word.
Or why there’s bad blood between the Irish and English
Americans would mention other states
Most of them will say a city in the states .
I am amazed (yet again) by the lack of knowledge on the truly awful past relationship between Ireland and the UK (Greatbritain, or more colloquially used here as "England") in the USA. We (in Europe) learn at school so much about how the USA were founded after they fought the War of Inpependence against their colonizers, about the treatment of the Indigenous people there, about the Civil War and slavery, about conquering the West (well, partly the Wild West, of course) and spreading over the breadth of that huge land. Yet, no one there seems to know anything about European history, apart perhaps from WW II and Holocaust, and maybe a tiny bit of French Revolution. It is shocking, truly.
Ignorance, sadly.. may be bliss.
to be fair, as European, we don't study any of the asian history. I remember in high school that Japan only got like half page in my history book , China was completely absent or at least i don't remember it being ever mentioned. The only things that i know about the wars happened between Korea, China, Japan etc. is stuff that i'm learning NOW on youtube on my own
@@gianlucaangelibut for Americans they should know a little bit about Europe. Especially Britain and Ireland as a lot of them come from there. I don’t expect them to know every European country history but Britain and Ireland they should know. Also the troubles weren’t that long ago. My parents were alive during the bombings.
@@gianlucaangeli To be fair there is not too much time in the school years for everything and for some weird reason a 300 years old american country takes up kinda a lot of school time and lot of pages, waaay too much. While there is other more important countries to learn about in history class. The whole usa thing should be only 4 pages on maximum.
Even funnier is that some european countries even have to learn the names of american states on geography class for some unknown reasons. While americans only know the name of some countries like as russia, germany, italy, UK, france, spain on a maximum.
It's just ridiculous how their education don't give a s**t about the world outside of them but the world needs to learn every little detail about that 300years old foreign country.
@@tovarishchfeixiao I'm American, & don't think you need learn every little thing about our country.
When I was a student in the UK, a lot of foreign students were confused. By the way Brits can "hate" a country, but not "hate" the people that come from there. We often treat a country's government and it's actual people as two different things. I suspect the Irish do a similar thing.
You mean. They hate the people and dont care about the Royalty? :D
@@elisterr
Government != Royalty.
And that has been the case for centuries.
That's very true. There are a few countries I don't like (not hate but yeah) but it's towards the country and it's politicians itself, not the actual people.
There are one or two countries where I feel the opposite but it's very few.
Doesn't sound like it in this video
I hope that's the case aswell here in the Netherlands.
Can't say for sure since I am not very social, and I often think different than others. Anyone else here classifying killing flies as a kind of murder? Even mosquito's only get killed under strict circumstances.
Predator animals get less mercy though, although I find actually killing hard. (Makes me feel bad)
The third guy interviewed was a genuine Leprechaun, so don't say Leprechauns don't exist.
I like the way he suggested England to those who couldn’t decide, even though that’s down to history but when the guy said Japan he said that’s sometime ago. Perhaps if it been a recent video they might have had a different answer.
Personally, I don't hate any country.
I disagree with certain governments/politics/attitudes of other countries - the same way I do when it comes to these things in my own country.
And I have preferences where I would like (or could imagine) to live and where not.
That's it.
As for the obvious example: I lived and worked in the US for some time. The nature is great, some people I met were great and most people I met were at least okay, excepts the occasional complete a-hole you could encounter anywhere. I may even make a few bucks more each year, bottom line.
But I also can't imagine to permanently settle down in the US. The inherent "nice cluelessness" of big parts of the population would enrage me at least twice a week and what left of my nerves would get utterly destroyed by concerns about What-ifs. What if I get sick, what if I lose my job, what if some random nutjob decides to go on an armed rampage?
Long story short: I don't hate the US. But I would love what the US *could be* if they would open their minds and get their shit together.
True say, I'd love to visit USA, dare say they wouldn't let me in for my views.
Ive had plenty of Irish people tell me they dont like the English.

Ireland was occupied, oppressed, and exploited by England for centuries. During the famine in the 19th century, which some call a genocide, food was grown in, and exported from, Ireland while the Irish people ate grass and starved. The Choctaw people sent relief money from America to Ireland during the famine. It’s sad to think they may have had more understanding of Irish history than Americans today.

Neighboring countries often have that "frenemy" relationship where they either love or hate each other depending on the context. We in Finland are the best friends with Sweden when it is about defence politics or such, but in the ice hockey rink we are mortal enemies. It's a bit like siblings: on normal days they call each other stupid, but if something serious happens, they'll go to any lengths to defend each other.
Yeah it's the same with us Australians toward New Zealanders.
As a swede I can confirm that is true

When ye have that attitude we don't make an issue of it. When you have Darren's we tend to turn our backs.
History is indeed the key to most country dislikes.
Typically it's ignorance.
@@DarrenFord11111 I beg to disagree. I've experienced when I was young the hate that many Dutch people felt towards Germany, which was logical because the Nazis had occupied the Netherlands a couple of decades earlier. Now that the generation that lived in that time has mostly died, most of the hate has melted away. I don't think you can say that experiencing a violent occupation counts as "being ignorant". On the contrary: you might say that war trauma is an education in itself.
@@DarrenFord11111you can find ignorant people in every country. That would mean no one would like anyone. Most people hate couloirs England (which is small on the map) because of its brutal history. Do you think Indians hate the uk because of ignorant people or because of the number of genocides they committed when they were in charge?
It is funny the fact that the Americans -who have invaded half the countries of the planet and have organized coups in the other half- expect the world to like them and dislike random countries, like North Korea or China, that have not bothered anyone. I like you Ryan but in this video you sound like a real american. Also, if you allow me, I would tell you that it is nice to learn about the culture, architecture, food of Europe, etc., but it would also be good to learn the history and geopolitics of the world. There are two interesting series ("Geography Now" and "History Now"), an interesting channel ("History Oversimplified") and a video that many TH-camrs have reacted to, entitled "History of the entire world, I guess".
Yeah he act indeed like a real one this time. About history I would love to hear how Americans talked about a country which invaded their homeland. But till this day they were so lucky because of the huge bodies of water at both sides
Ok? Same thing goes for germany, uk, france ect.
Don't hate any country. Ireland is probably one of my least favourites though.
Ireland is beautiful and the people so generous. Love it there..
This is a TH-cam series which in every video he asking people from a different country. Although indeed many people says that they hate US (because of wars), also many people hate neighbor countries because of their history and the conflicts. For example in this video the Irish hate England because until this day England occupies the north area of the Ireland island.
Edit: As for the North Korea... actually the Americans are the people who hate North Korea. And the people in the countries that US controls. The rest of the planet don't have any problem with North Korea. Not really. And why should have. North Korea didn't start any war.
Yeah America many years ago was fine but now it's a lot different. Yes the politics plays a big part but also in general the people have become loud and obnoxious and full of themselves. Generally there's a lot of good and nice Americans but as a whole for society it's the worst.
How far back are we talking?
“hold some grudges.” i mean dude, it hasn’t been that many years. ireland is literally still broken into 2
When you ask people what country they hate they try to comply with an answer. Irish people don't hate the English. It's just expected that they'll say that so they comply.

@@cart4062 Are you sure you responded to the correct comment??
I wonder how native Americans or Hawaiians would answer that particular question. I guess maybe for many Americans history doesn't matter because you don't learn about it and don't care about it, but for most of the world history is very important.
Yes, history is an important thing to learn about. Because history is what made formed the world and the people to be what we see today and also we can learn from mistakes of the past and try to not make the same mistakes again.
They would hate Europeans I guess.
Many white Americans don't seem to realise they're European too.
oh shut up
For hundreds of years the English was particularly harsh to the Irish.
So naturally they hate us! 😂
I think it stems from the time when the Irish invaded and took slaves from England 500-900 AD [at the same time as the Vikings/Angles/Saxons/Jutes invasions]. So when England formed 'proper' under William the Conquer, and the Normans became more 'English', they decided to get their revenge and started to take over Ireland [it did take 400 years because of distractions].
Harsh? Now there's an English response. Utterly deluded.
Who hates who? I'm English, don't hate the Irish. My Irish family, don't hate me. So.... huh?
@@anglosaxon5874 Interesting justification attempt but incorrect. Ye invaded because 1. Land grab and 2. Fear Spain or France would use Ireland as a staging point for invasion.
@@Steve-gr6jm NO you are incorrect. Once we had a strong army we invaded Ireland to stop them attacking us and when we saw they were all divided clans, we decided to conquer. Spain wasn't even around then not for a few hundred more years. You don't even know your history!
Southern Ireland is a fully independent country. Part of the EU. People on here talk nonsense about the "ongoing war" with Britain. Ulstermen and women (Northern Ireland), are happy to remain British. Americans have no grasp of the situation in Northern Ireland, just a simplistic colonial out-of-date view that Britain is somehow still an "oppresser". That is absolutely not true.
What about Scotland trying to become independent?🤔
@@martinkasper197 And your question is?
Northern Irish people have the option to choose their nationality. Don't just assume they're British because you want them to be. Many are Irish, and choose to be, some choose to be British. This number has heavily decreased since Brexit of people choosing British as their nationality
@@DarrenFord11111 So Scotch are not that proud to be British... Esspecially after that Brexit BS... The UK always was dominanted by England over the centuries...
You don't speak for the majority of Catholics in Ulster so please do stfu. It comes across as gaslighting and makes us want to do things ye label us as terrorists for.
Why would you hate NK? We should hate the Kim dynasty, not the entire population of oppressed folks
True, the question in on itself is really dumb
Why would you hate an entire country? People in there, especially lesser educated ones, could be easily manipulated by this or that big actor, usually the politicians, so what's the commoner guilty for?
I think when someone says that they hate a country with a democratic regime, the hate applies to the populace but when the target of hate is a country with an authoritarian regime, it is only the leader/leading party/leading dynasty that is the intended target of hate.
Maybe this only applies to me, but when I say that I hate North Korea, China and Russia, that should not be taken to mean that I hate all Koreans, Chinese and Russians.
And if I were to declare that I am concerned for the U.S. then that would indeed mean that I am concerned for the general US populace in regards to where they are steering their country ^^
There are no bad countries,it's the leaders/regimes
About USA, the most people is not that they
don't like the country or the people, they don't
like the foreigner policy of the country and also
the high racism there is in some states.
You can search on Internet for the history
of 20th century about facts you will not
learn at school, because that will be not
so patriotic for the US educational system.
Not only about inventions and conflicts in
other countries, but large interference and
influence in the internal affairs of too many
countries, almost in all countries of the world.
They wanted, and still want, to influence
governments or even change governments
if it was not in the interests of the USA.
Interests, of course, primarily economic,
commercial, but also in the long term,
strategic or about the oil.
And for this whole situation we can't just
blame the Cold War or Russia and China
today, but the political-military establishment
and multinational lobbies, they call it
"Military-Industrial Complex".
Because it is very complex indeed.
It is not only strategic and entangled interests
of the government in foreign policy, but issues
of promotion and protection of the interests of
the American Multinationals, primarily the oil
companies, because the protection of the oil
reserves is of course always a priority.
Ryan, sorry, but instead of always just this little North Korea, I would suggest Russia on current occasion, that would be a real candidate, Russia is currently a lot more dangerous to world peace than North Korea has ever been ... please, don`t listen always only to American media, press and politicians, I guess you must have noticed that this is not always a good thing to form a really informed own opinion from the many videos you`ve seen about comparisons between the USA and the rest of the world.
As a Russian, even I agree with you on this point. I only don’t understand foreigners, who blame Russian ppl for this, like we are not protesting or we brainwashed… maybe those “brave” ppl from the west world could try to protest in Russia at least. I am sure that after that they would change their point of view (you know, after being jailed for 5-7 years 😢)

Thing also IS that Wars Europe had are far différent than modern usa ones, except independance and somewhat pearl Harbor, you Never lived (or Heard by from your parents/grandparents) under occupation or constant fear to be under bombs.
Why would i hate North korea ? I don't like their ideology, but i Never even met one. I feel like for americans it's more an abstract concept
You might wanna have a look at irish-english history and youll understand why the english arent that popular in ireland
Ryan there is a long ,complicated and bloody history between Ireland ( both the Republic and Ulster) and the UK. Plus us Irish, Welsh, Scots feel its our duty to jokingly 'hate' English people (most of us arent serious about it)
So funny , no where I'd rather live than America. I've been to the UK a few times. Was always so glad to be home. They are patronizing and think they know it all , even the chavs. They always seem so depressing and miserable. So when I touch ground back in the U.S. , I feel elated !
Ryan, look at context. Ireland has been invaded, settled, etc. for centuries, when the 13 colonies were revolting, Ireland had been formally under the government of England for two centuries. The long term grudge is because of the long-term history, it's like the feuds in American communities, ie. "John is bad because his grandfather stole the neighbours great-grandfather's car, and his mother had our cousin imprisoned on jumped up charges".
So there was the independence movement in the 20th century, officially declared in 1949, but there's still Northern Ireland, the Troubles, and that is still not settled. Like the Korean War it's not over, just on hiatus.
As far as I know, America is a continent, not a country. 😁

As a european, I would never want to live on the USA, but I don't hate you, its just a different culture, that I respect. In fact, I'm always suspicious about people that don't love their own country, besides North Korea or something like that .
People cant love there own country when the world brings you down because of loving it.
I wouldn't say I hate a country per sé, mainly because I've only been to 7 countries. It's more the people. There's good and bad in every country. It's the ignorance of the people I hate and yes this also unilateral. Alot of Europeans and British slag off the US. As we all know, there's alot of ignorance about history of other countries, biased teaching about the States being the best and centre of the universe. In my experience, Americans I've spoken to have genuinely been interested, they seem to be wise to the fact that they are taught/brainwashed (as one put it) wrongly. The majority are great people. There's simarlily ignorant people worldwide. It's usually because of a religious belief or political reason, I'm looking at Russia and the Middle East here, that turns me off a 'country' but Im not stupid enough to blame the whole population. As with Britain, there's always some who agree and some who dissagree with politics, social issues, immigration issues etc.
Try being English, living not far from the Welsh border, going into North Wales. You get ignored when you speak English, but other places are fine. Luckily I speak some Welsh 😅
Well said.
I can’t believe you don’t know why Irish people hate England! And no the troubles weren’t 200 years ago. They didn’t finish until 1990 with The Good Friday Agreement. despite that they are still rumbling on. If this question had been asked in any other country the answer would have been America. Mainly because you are oblivious to anything going on in the world that doesn’t affect you. Sorry to vent but I’m totally shocked.
OMG Lesley, relax. "Mainly because you are oblivious to anything going on in the world that doesn’t affect you." Who made you the judge and jury?
As a European myself, the moment I realized that they were asking Irish people, I knew the great majority of them would say England - and also why. I don’t know everything about the history of the two countries, but still enough to get an idea.
But hey, European history with all our conflicts is confusing enough for us Europeans. I can only imagine how hard it must be for people from the US to get it, even for those who are interested.
I can see where you are coming from, though. The ignorance of many people from the US towards the rest of the world sometimes makes me aggressive, too. It wouldn‘t hurt them to learn a little bit more about other countries.
This American here, Ryan, tries at least! Let‘s not be mean to those who try.
2:09 that is more of an american thing to hate these 2 cause of american propaganda
A lot of American people say that they are from Canada 🇨🇦 while travelling overseas
I don't like countries where the sharia is still in place and those on which there's a lot of poverty, corruption, terror, etc (like Somalia eg). That didn't mean that there aren't good people in those countries, but I would never want to live there or even visit. The government, laws, social structure etc is just terrible imo.
If i was asked this question i would've said INDIA by a mile
'America' is NOT a country - it's a continent. Now, if they had said the USA...
Wow. What did North Korea ever do to you?
It is an obvious answer, if you ask an Irish man, for the 99% of the times, they will say "England". A piece of their island is still under the british control.
They don't like England for political reasons. In Ireland it's not an unnusual response to the question.
The Celts hate the English, the feelings mutual.
Ryan, you shouldnt hate hole North Korea - just its ruler Kim...
Also he shouldn't just repeat what he is told, don't think he can answer you why.
As a German, I can confirm that we are not very liked in the countries we have invaded. I could imagine it being the same with the USA.
Britain must be well up there for the colonial days.
Weirdly enough, Germany has quite amicable relations with France. Since both countries are democracies, it stands to reason that the quiet majority of people does not in fact resent the other country or its inhabitants.

Also, did you actually mean Asian as in Chinese or one of the other countries I named?
Because Asia is a lot bigger than just those. Russian people mostly don't even live in Asia but Europe, so far I know at least.
Asking because I know there are people who see Asia pretty much as one country, and I obviously have no idea who you are apart from that one reaction.
England has been invading and occupying Ireland in different ways for 800 years. They only got independence from the UK in 1922 after fighting a war.
To find out why the Irish don't like the English, just study the History of Ireland!
And, to eat American junkfood doesn't mean that the person should like the country it comes from ...
Macca's is definitely my least favourite American fast food chain store.
An Irishman wouldn't like Saudi Arabia because alcohol is banned there. You can get imprisoned or lashed for drinking it!
This vox pop is asking Irish people who they don't like , the English ruled Ireland for 800 years and there's a residual dislike for them. Hatred is too strong a word .
The question should've been, which leader of a country do you hate the most? My top 5 most hated are 1 Vladimir Putin Russia, 2 Joe Biden USA, 3 Justin Trudeau Canada, 4 XI Jinping China, 5 Kim Jong Un, runner up Anthony Albanese Australia! Top 3 were hard to choose the order but I settled with this order! What leaders do you hate?
Right wing Aussies, making us all look bad :(
Man said Putin as 1 and Pedo-Biden as 2 lmao 😂🤡
how is kom jong un only place 5?
Sure, very comparable people. Are you also aware that this statement would put you in prison in Russia for example?
Albo, deserved to be on the list . Plus the other tyrants.
Do you have problems figuring out why the Irish dislike England, really?
France
*it's like asking what substance is wet... and if it weren't because you don't know your country's name, bless you, I'd think you're trying to avoid blame lol or both... and the fact your country as a whole is being the definition of narcissism and doesn't want to do&be better & be good humans as a whole...*
1:52 british colonialism ? maybe thats something that people dont like ? especially if you are the ones being colonized by them ?
I mean Northern Ireland, Scotland and Gibraltar are the last remnants of that in europe...
I think those girls chanted "we're number one" aka stereotypical American behaviour 😂
I'd just love to see you on a road trip in Europe
It´s not a football thing, it´s a colonialism thing.
I don’t really hate America. But I really hate the fact that America has all the possibilities to truly be the greatest country in the world, but any of them are used. America could be a blessing to ALL its inhabitants and even the rest of the world but instead the government chose to shape it into the capitalist hellscape it is today, aided by ridiculous amounts of propaganda.
There’s a lot of countries that could use some serious improvement, that’s just the way the world is, but the US are the only country in the world that has the tools to massively improve but they don’t use it.
The related video was 2 years old. If you ask now, I probably say, that 80-90 % of the west, would say Russia.
And the rest of the wolrd would say the US.
And it's much more people tant the West 😏
How comes nobody says Russia??
Irish people do not like England because they were colonized by Englands before that is why. That is in my own perspective.
The lrish thing is totally political..........it always has been............ Who cares,....... l never inviited them ........
How can you not know of the longstanding enmity of Irish people to England?
Ryan, I'm from Russia. I have a question for you: Can you explain why you think that North Korea is most easiest answer on the question in this video?
Why would you hate North Korea? Because you were taught to hate it? I don't remember any war North Korea started or fueled on the other part of the planet.
I do not hate other countries. Why would I? To hate North Korea does not make any sense. They do not threaten any other country. North Korea is terrible for their own people, but they are not the only country that treats their citizens bad. Russia is also a nice country, and China as well. I do hate the war In Ukraine and all the other wars that could continue because of the military supplies from the west. There should be negotiations to stop it. It is important to stop hating and stop wars.
"There should be negotiations to stop it"
Statements like this are so unfathomably asinine they can truly only be made by one who has lost all attachment to reality. In case it is not clear to you: Russia wants something which right now is in the possession of Ukraine. Ukraine is not willing to give Russia what it wants. Therefore Russia ABANDONS NEGOTIATIONS AND DECIDES TO USE MILITARY FORCE instead to try to impose their will on Ukraine. "The west" has decided to support Ukraine with military supplies, while politically condemning and economically sanctioning Russia.
Where do you see room for negotiations? Also, how would you stop an ongoing war?
North Korea IS far away from Europe. They never murdered and starved Irishmen to death.
i feel like the china hate is an american thing
And a Taiwon, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and pretty much everywhere else in South East Asia thing. Military intimidation, controlling the seas, building islands to use a military bases in places that don't belong to them. You must be European to not know how hated China is.
So clueless you are 🙄
@@mjones8170 not any more than the us in the rest of the world i guess
@@mjones8170ye but the people aren't hated
There's many Chinese people
And friendly as well
@@mjones8170but I don't think of politics that much
Pearl Harbor - Hiroshima and Nagasaki 😢. Seriously “don’t mess with Americans…” better think more about it.
USA is still involved in a lot of wars they don’t have the right to be on.
I don't like McDonalds but love the US.
American here, I don't like McDonald's either, I only eat there when nothing else is open!😂
@@Timbothruster-fh3cw The only thing I'd order there is a McRib. But that one is very easy and cheaper to make at home.
whats your problem with North Korea?
did they bombed your city?
I come from Serbia and the Americans bombed my City
but even i wouldnt say that i hate America.
Maybe you should watch the movie "Michael Collins". It might give you a little bit of an idea why the Irish aren't too fond of England.
Look up the troubles as it's weirdly called, it might give you the answer to why a lot said England lol.
If you would ask me this question, I would reject the word hate. Why should I hate a complete nation a whole civilization? Also with the Russian Imperial Invasion on Ukrain, I don't dislike the whole country. I dislike Putin and his regime of murders and also the stupid side of many people which don't reask the situation and talking the same fake news like the Russian television and supporting the murder. This makes me also really sad! But besides that, there are many good things about Russia. Those Russians or Russo-Germans I know, are very friendly people and those I know, reask the situation. Generally talking, if I am talking negativley about nations I don't have any or I have only a view bonds to, it is mainly the anti democractic political situation, also right wing and conservative movements, agressive attitude, extreme religious situation, anti human rights and anti openes, anti equality, anti freedom, ... social situation there. So it is more an ideological kind of criticism. But beneath this, the most criticised country from my perspective is my nation of orgin, the land I am living in😂! And secondary those countries I have a closer relationship to, including the USA 😂😅
Ireland vs England : history! Until this day with the North.
