For that is your perception which you are basing on what a lot of internet trolls say in order to flame, annoy, and perturb other people..

Because of how corrupt and immoral they perceive our country to be...

Although, I don't promote hate I do see their point. Seems like most of us have thrown morals out of the window...

the sources of their hate is different depending of the area. i think most of us think of americans of anti intellectuals. most of them know no more than one language. Another one (for latinoamericans and people who are politically aware) is that the us government had a hand in putting middle eastern and latinoamerican dictators in power and contribute to the poverty of many countries in result.

Perception The fact that there is so much spin on everything.

People have a issue where if one person or more) does something bad then THEY ALL ARE THE SAME. Something us humans need to work on. However, I have friends from all over the place. In Europe, Asia, South America. none of them hate Americans. Most people when they say they hate someone it's usually because of someones personality....not because of where they are. However, for the most part our gov can be a bad representation.

If you mean USA, I think few who haven't been to these parts have any understanding of how very diverse we are.
They go by what they see and hear in the media. Have we made mistakes? Sure. All countries have. We aren't perfect but what we have has worked most of the time and we have a means of changing things without overthrowing anyone. Show me a country which hasn't made mistakes. I certainly agree that we have gotten in other countries business too often BUT if people don't want us in their business, they should not take our money. And, of course, we are likely to support those who are more likely to agree with us. Human nature. Indeed, I sometimes wonder why we help people who openly hate us, but we do.

If people could see the variety of our population instead of thinking we are all alike, they would understand us better. California is not like New York is not like Mississippi is not like Texas is not like South Carolina is not like Missouri is not like Alaska is not like Hawaii! We are a very varied people.
United STATES of America. Most anyone anywhere could find someone here very much like them!

Those who have power are often hated. We do seem to have a lot of people who want to come here, so they must not hate us all that much. Perhaps those who have so much are always hated by those who do not have much.
