Hey Vietnam, are you alright? 😵
What having a border with china does to a mfer
This one tripped me up, because my friends were there around 10 years ago and they told me their Canadian passport saved them a couple of times from some people being hostile towards Americans.
Your username and avatar gave me a good chuckle. Made me think of the "how do you know someone is vegan? Don't worry, they'll tell you." joke. I do hope you're actually vegan though, and it's not some shitty parody (I never go and look through peoples comments, just feels shitty, so I don't know).
I'm vegan, BTW.
I’m afraid to engage in international tourism because the country I’m from, the United States, is a goddamn embarassment, and I’m would be apologizing everywhere I go, and silent otherwise.
The world does not hate those, who are awoken from the american dreamnightmare. You guys are just victims.
We really dislike all the brainrotten dimwits who still love all the shit your elite puppeteers do. And how they destroy the way of living, the internet and...gestures broadly at everything
Just research carefully the country you go to. Some places hate tourists with a passion, some see them with curiosity. The country you come from is usually irrelevant (except if it's Israel)
We’re about to head out on a trip tomorrow and yeah, it’s kind of embarrassing. We always say we’re from California if asked, because that feels slightly less embarrassing, though the tech bros have now shown their true colors so it’s less effective than it used to be.
You could say you’re from Cascadia and hope they don’t have any follow up questions.
When I speak, I have vague hints of general commonwealth in my accent, cause I’ve always been lowkey ashamed of being here, except now it’s not so lowkey.
I can’t even afford to leave the country on vacation so that eliminates that fear for most of us
I've travelled out of the country a few times under Trump's rule. I bet clearly make my opinions if Trump known, and can usually find a common ground with the people in interacting with.
Like, wouldn't travel to the middle east and try to play that game, but most people are pretty reasonable and understanding, especially if you're in a touristy area where the economy is almost entirely based on you spending money.
Just try not to draw attention to yourself, be respectful, and talk shit about Trump and his band of merry racist cunts if needed.
Just pretend to be a canadian, thats what americans did when the US invaded Iraq(it was a very unpopular war for europeans). Honestly most people dont care.
Fuck that.
America has ruined its own reputation, they don't get to steal my country's reputation.
How 'bout instead you suck up what you've done to the world and face the music. Destroying another country's reputation with your cuntry's (sic) shitfuckery is ... well, very American.
It's even lower-IQ to pretend to be another country's citizen so that you can fuck up their reputation as well.
All y'all fucking Yanks have been doing that in Europe since the '80s. It pissed me off then, and it pisses me off more now.
I can confirm that I do not like engaging specifically with Americans. No problem with other tourists/visitors
The Italian prime minister (lowkey fascist) kept trying to establish good relationships with Trump, but even she had to give up with how much of an animal he is, lol
I just got back from running around town (our tiny Canadian village has a garage sale day today) and saw a trump hat at one of them for sale for 5 bucks.
I thought it amusing that they didn't want it anymore but still think it's worth something.
Then again they WERE also selling a 1960's style stationary bike for $40 bucks while just down the street was a newer one for free with a digital display.
Must been Pete Hoekstra’s red hat after being told to tone down the 51st state rhetoric.
To be fair, the 60's one probably still kinda works. The digital one is for sure dead.
Maybe lol.. I picked up a newer one with the digital pad thingee at a sale for my daughter two years ago, all it needed was new batteries in the head unit. Didn't look too close at this one, but it looked in really nice shape. Too many people around here seem to buy those things and barely use them.
No Denmark on the graph is disappointing after Trump’s threats to Greenland.
This chart is an inverted 'quality of life' chart. Weird, I wonder how that happened...
Poland, failing again. 55% are fucking idiots, MAGA will abandon your asses if the Russians spill across the border.
Vietnam is on position 4 (consider they were at war 55 years ago), where as most of NATO is at the bottom, even below Russia.
vietnam is pretty friendly of the usa, against china and mostly because of trade and manufactering.
Yah india is another notable but the odds they'd ever actually help America in any way that didn't benifit them is real low, India likes to stay neutral.
My unsupported theory as to what might be going on here with Vietnam, India, and Philippines, is that people consider the USA as a nice migration destination.
There are large asian migrant communities in the US, probably most people in those three countries would have a direct contact or even relative who lives in the US. They would see pictures of them and hear about life in the US and perceive it to be better than their own.
Most people here reading this question think about politics, but plenty of people living in the Philippines unable to buy fuel or gas due to shortages, who would still think "favourably" of the US.
As a Canadian who vehemently hates the United States and everything it represents now, I have yet to actually meet anyone who hates the US as much as I do. Most are indifferent.
Canadian here, I live in a big city so my data is probably skewed, but pretty much everyone I know thinks that America (Republican America especially) is a fucking dumpster fire.
Same here, in a country that's near the bottom. They've killed millions over the past half century, and people just don't care. Then again, I don't know what "views unfavorably" really means.
Bottom of the list hell yeah take that world
I'm happy to see Japan that low on the list. I was expecting them to be right underneath Israel.
Bet Okinawa and other places near forward operating bases are all unfavorable.
One would hope, but like, i've helped with a few of those slideshows about being good citizens in foreign countries (a full bird being assigned to Clark asked me what insight i might have as a civvie i am so sorry for making the powerpoints worse) and there are I'd say a good third to two-thirds of the military folk going overseas that aren't total shitasses at any given time. Right now? My own biases say closer to a third, but I really don't know. A good fair number of them are just average kids who didn't have any good options after high school, foolishly took the recruiters at their word (or talked to their peers and families and they didn't have a better option) and seriously hoped they wouldn't have to kill anyone. The smartest of the bunch all went into the Coast Guard though, those folk actually save lives.
70% of Americans have an unfavorable view of the USA.
Well 38% of Americans need to get off their asses and vote. Cuz only 22% of Americans voted for him in 2024.
A large part of the problem (but not the only problem) is the constant suppression being done by Republicans at every step. If we just had compulsory voting and a day off to vote then they'd never win again. That's why they keep doing everything they can to prevent people from voting.
VOTE THE FASCISTS TO DEATH! BLUE NO MATTER WHO OR YOURE ONE OF THEM! HARRIS-GINGRICH 28!
I'm all for calls to violence against the billionaire class but we could really do without this kind of anti-intellectual bullshit.
Like if you really want the working class to rise up violently than go easy on this cringey edgelord shit that only appeals to 14 year olds.
VOTE OR DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!
Exactly the juvenile behaviour that precludes you from a seat at the adult table.
Ignorance got us into this mess and people like you are just another aspect of the same ignorance.
Those numbers are supposed to be good news, but they aren't. Favourable views are still ridiculously high. I guess the biggest propaganda machine in human history pays off.
Way too low
Funny coincidence. That's about how many of us Americans have an unfavorable view of the USA.
Every Trump supporter who visits Canada should be chastised
they shouldn't be allowed in. they're literally enemies of the state.
No, deported to a third country.
North Korea.
Why would you send them to the best korea /s. Because some nutjobs here actually believe this to be the case.
I hate this timeline so much. Gestures broadly, I get it as someone who lives in the USA…
MapsWithoutNewZealand?
Are we gauging America, or Americans?
Because one third of Americans seem like great people. I only know like a hundred, and only two of those are absolute dicks.
I wonder why there's Israel and Russia but not Palestine and Ukraine. And why "never heard of it" counts as compliment...
that 1/3 of canadians, the fuck kinda hole you living in?

Alberta, usually. Plenty of pro-Trumpers around the country though.
Last I actually spoke to one in person last year, they said the administration was "getting rid of corruption and waste" rather than doing the exact opposite.
THE FUCK YOU ALBERTANS DOING TO MY BELOVED BANFF

Oh come now. We got our idiots (who are in power) but the strongest pro us area in Canada is in Ontario (who also has an idiot in power) around Windsor. Sometimes I think us Canadians just like to pass off national actions as some other province's issues.
I did mention there were plenty around the country, but I used to live around the Essex County area. The border towns will always be more supportive because they generally have stronger business/economic relationships with the US. It's really more of a hostage situation, because manufacturing (huge automotive sector, mainly) wants their metals and gets hit harder during Tariff Tantrums. Plenty of folks also cross over to stores when the exchange rate is good, families might visit each other, someone'll skip SCC or UoW to go to U Michigan, etc. No loud minority with Premier support begging to split from Canada though, last I heard.
Then once you leave the city proper, there just aren't many people around 'til you hit, say, Chatham.
And for what it's worth... despite Ford's long run, Windsor itself used to be very Liberal/NDP (something like 60% between the two) until very recently.
As an Australian, that's a depressingly high favourability rating :(
We have US military bases in Australia, we've already successfully been invaded.
Nope. Mostly gambling adverts. Every other advert, some cuntrag gambling company.
Why aren't you gambling? It's easy, we have an app for it so you can do it on the sly and everything. Do it. Gamble now, all your friends are doing it. Look at all these joyous people gambling, don't you want to be like them? Gamble now!
Not interested. Will never be interested. The more I get advertised a thing, the less interested I get; one of the few useful artefacts of my spergness. Advertising genuinely doesn't have the desired affect on me, it just annoys me and I mentally blacklist any product that advertises at me.
The entire advertising industry is a cancer on humanity as far as I'm concerned. A net drain of resources that serves no purpose other than to prop up the throwaway consumerism that's destroying the only place in the universe known for certain to support life.
Fuck all that shit.
Seen the one where the guy hears a car alarm chirp and it triggers his gambling impulse? Like, he hadn't been thinking about it but every day sounds can bring on the urge. That is absolutely advertising an addiction, crazy that this shit is legal, especially given that they get upset with me for using small doses of opiates to get through my day.
Those numbers will continue to get worse with the death of huge swaths of American soft power.
