Why are New Zealander, Swedish, and Spanish posters so anti-American? Is is really quite striking. I'm not sure if I've ever seen them say something positive about the US and they are disproportionately representive of those who attack the US on /int/. I understand why Argentinians and French are butthurt anti-British faggots, but why are these countries so anti-American? Is there some historical reason for this?

Probably because any sort of culture they have has been usurped almost entirely by our shitty exported pop culture. it's self hatred in the end. Not that anyone in the US gives one single fuck about it. Most people know Sweden=furniture and New Zealand= somewhere near Australia.

Because New Zealand are a bunch of traitors who abandoned our treaty just because they were scared of a little nuclear power. Spain is still mad about us taking their empire and embarrassing them and Sweden are a bunch of liberals who hate everything the US does.

>>6313471 So it does not have to do with the fact you destroyed the economies of countless countries? that the CIA helped to kill presidents to install dictatorships? According to you is "liberal" to believe that america should not put mass murderers in power? that's "liberal"?

Americans are uneducated, closed minded and very brainwashed. At least most of them are. The brunt is they are proud of it, because they are uneducated I guess. But I don't blame them. I blame every fucking president they had or whoever leads their policies. Worst empire ever. Americans please fight your overlords.

>>6313349 >New Zealander New Zealand went pretty far to the left so a conservative nation like the US looked worse. Also anti-nuclear activism created bad blood between USA and NZ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand%27s_nuclear-free_zone >Swedish There is a subculture of Swedes who like the USA actually, down to confederate flags and American muscle cars. However Sweden's predominately Social Democratic media has a negative journalistic slant on the US. Ironically they also use the USA as a model society when trying to push multiculturalism ("we want to be racially diverse and brown like the USA!") >Spanish No idea at all.

I think we set off some nukes on NZ territory once that they got butt-ached over. Whatever happened it ended ANZUS and they haven't liked America as much since. Spain pulled a france in iraq, which left soured relations and led to a lot of attacks on america in the spanish media(though oddly nobody actually realized it happened over here) Sweden, I dunno. I mean, their social democrats probably don't jibe with the modern US, but other than that I don't think we've done anything to really offend each other.

I think its funny when Yurosemens rave about how terrible the United States in while they post on an American site in English, and then post a .gif from an American movie. My government's done plenty of evil, I'm not denying that.

For Sweden it's mostly being tsundere. Tradtionally we have had really good relations with the U.S except for that one time we ended up on Nixons shit list when our prime minister compared the ongoing war in vitenam with treblinka. Otherwise, Sweden has always been providing the U.S with sigint on the ruskies, traded arms technology, allowed for NATO to host artic military exercises on swedish soil and accepted international missions normally only undertaken by NATO members. Since Sweden's supposed to be neutral we have to be tsundere about the whole thing. >H-here, I packed some sigint for you... >For me? But I thought you where to be neutral? >*blushes wildly* S-shuddup baka! I-it's not like i like you or anything! >*runns of, still blushing* ^^^ common scene if the world was an anime.

I don't think we hate America. It's just that out of all the Anglosphere nations New Zealand is probably the most liberal so politically we tend to clash most of the time. As for the Nuclear thing, I don't really know. I think it was important for the development of our national identity to stand up and tell America to piss off, but realistically, the anti-nuclear thing has just become this weird sort of status quo, like no one wants to introduce nuclear power because 'we've always been green', rather than really sitting down and weighing the pros and cons. Anyway didn't we sign a little treaty a few years ago when Hillary came to visit which kind of signaled a thawing in the relationship?

>>6313349 i should imagine kiwis get quite mad at how their government for some reason seems to bend over and get fucked up the arse by U.S copyright laws. I'm not sure why they do this. I think kiwis are also taught in school about how NZ STRONG from that time in the 70s or 80s where they told USN it couldnt dock its nuke powered ships in NZ, and USA cracked a sook and I think kicked them outta ANZUS, or very nearly. Kiwis tend to be a bit insecure tbh. >>6320296 I refer to them as snow niggers or snow wogs, and I aint jelly because Australia is a far better place to live in every conceivable way. Only reason Norway beats Aus on HDI is because of its oil; when that dries up they will be knocked down to average snownigger-tier like the rest of the snow niggers.
