The US gets a lot of hate because it lacks an expansive welfare state and because of it's Middle East foreign policy.

Almost half of the people who voted chose that retard for your president. Don't be mad when everyone thinks Americans are stupid.

It has a culture of corporate exploitation of that counts.
>>
>>3290863
They don't. Europeans who think they're smarter than they actually are dislike America.
Their dislike of American culture stems from the fact that it is largely universally accessible. For many people "culture" is a way of showing their superiority over the common herd and you can't really do that with American culture because the janitor also watches Breaking Bad and eats at Burger King.

I guess you could consider McDonalds, Hollywood and Monstertruck Rallys culture but that's really strechting it

Only half the voting population voted at all, which is pretty standard for our elections.
>>
>>3290863
US culture is so pervasive that no one even sees it as a culture anymore
>>
> Why do smart Europeans hate the US?
Hard to say, everyone has their reasons.

> And does the US really have no culture?
It certainly has culture, it just has much less than cities and countries that have been around for millenia.

The US came about too late to participate much in Western high culture in its own right, before mass consumerism came along. They do have some beautiful old buildings and some writers of note, though. The US is also the dominant political power today, but see pic related. Too many internal issues and poor foreign policy choices.

What would a people with no culture even look like? They would have to never interact with anyone or anything or express themselves in any way.
>>

Not an argument.

French intellectuals very obviously hate the U.S. out of butthurt over American hegemony in Europe and the world making France irrelevant. You can see it very clearly because they didn't hate the U.S. before 1945.

Before 1945, the Europeans who hated the U.S. were usually far-right elitists but not really smart.
>>
They can be smug all day long, but the USA is number one in the world at many things. Canadians are the same - they may laugh at us, but then all their best professionals come here.

I do agree that at least Europe has some claims, since the USA has simply not been around for nearly as long as them. I would say that our culture revolves more around religion and patriotism rather than food and literature, for instance. We do have quite an interesting history though. Also the first and second amendments are a blessing to the country.

The people who have disliked America did so long before I cast my vote for Trump, and will continue to do so after.

Name one 'smart European' who hates America.

To be blunt, if you hate any one race then you're retarded because exceptions exist in everything

Most people dislike americans because of the constant flux of retarded shit coming from your country through the media. Obese people, worldstar, politics, blacks, rednecks, big companies, reality tv, star scandals, ect
>>
>>3292608
Our politics is a matter of superiority for us relative to Europe. European politics is boring and predictable as hell, whereas US politics has been made almost into a sport or tv series and is actually interesting.
