It's globalism. The idea that the USA should first use its military to conquer the whole world, put it under the control of the banks, and then become the nucleus for a global governance. You'll notice all of the "enemies list", Venezuela, Iran, China, Russia, etc. are not under the control of our banks.

That's what TPP was all about, creating courts that were above the US Constitution, and then when the American people complained, it would be "Well, can't help it! Treaty! Hands are tied! Sorry everyone!" Then they keep binding together nations in supranational arrangements. This is to the benefit of everyone but us. The American people are the big losers, but our elites are in love with their dream of one world government (it gives their lives meaning) so they'll never stop.

I am so sick of America being blamed no matter what. If we help, it was too late. If we leveled the enemy it was using inhumane tactics (Atomic bomb). If we're attacked we deserve it and if we invade we are imperialists.

That's the beauty of being anti-American. You don't have to take any stands. You don't have to decide what's good and what's not. You simply look at what the Americans are doing and take the opposite stance. You can see why it's so wildly popular in Europe.

Most Europeans are not properly educated on how much they depend on the US. The US is almost exclusively depicted in a negative way and blamed for stuff, while the US is almost never depicted in a positive way and given its due credit. A lot of Europeans directly link their view of their own individual countries and the EU/Europe as a whole to their view of the US as a point of contrast. Because they see things along those lines, and because they want to depict themselves as being superior to the US, they must as a matter of necessity see the US in an unrealistically negative way. Acknowledging that the EU is dependent on the US doesn't help the cause. There are definitely leaders in Europe who are aware of how much Europe depends on the US for defense, but this fact is not in anyway conducive to the larger political agenda and geopolitical outlook in Europe which is all about integration and European unity. In fact, support for the EU is very closely related to anti-Americanism. On reddit you'll see a lot of Europeans admit very openly that they support the EU because they see it as a rival to the US.

A lot of hate Europeans have for the US is not only a product of their ignorance of their dependence on the US, it's also because of their dependence on the US. Europeans take the US for granted and many of those that are aware of their dependence on the US still hate the US because playing second fiddle to the US stings their pride.
