There is no evidence that the world does hate America. That is an canard used by those that do hate America to move their agenda along;

It is spread by Socialists in Europe and here in the States. IMHO, the main reason is that with a vibrant capitalistic democracy for comparison, Socialism looks pretty bad. So they are reacting the same way the local prom queen does when she comes face to face with a Hollywood grade beauty.
The focus becomes envy and spite. Tearing down instead of building up.
Or as Gracie said;
“When the truth is found
to be lies.
And all the joy within you dies.”
Capitalism is a celebration of hope. The base of capitalism is that anyone thru their own efforts can be sucessful. Socialism is the death of hope. No matter how hard your efforts, the government gets the lion’s share.
To a true Liberal, Socialism is a religion. So when America is successful, it shows that they are worshiping a false god. The ‘truth’ is found to be lies. The joy within dies and they lash out.
I don’t consider that rational behavior, but then again, I have never seen any evidence of rational behavior by Liberals.
So the Hate America stuff is coming from the left and those despots that actually have something to fear from America. Europe and the Middle East, mainly. The rest of the world is fine with America and even in Europe and the ME it is the self styled elites that are squealing.
The average Joe, if thy think about America at all, it’s on how to get here and grab some loot.
Anyone that needs to be loved by everyone has issues and should seek professional help. If someone that is willing to set an elementary school on fire then use automatic weapons on the children fleeing the flames hates me, I’m OK with that. Proud of it even.
