Peru/Brazil/Mexico/Chile being so high is kinda surprising.
Poland and the Philippines make me wonder if there’s an emigration/brain drain effect going on.
I’m a student currently. Every student wants to leave. The brain drain is real.
Did they only call people who speak English in South America?
Don’t know about other South American countries, but Colombia (and Colombians) has always been very eager to lick the boot of the US. It’s no surprise it’s one of the only countries in the continent to never have had an openly left wing president or policies until Petro in 2020. Hating the US is something mostly leftists do, and because of the civil war, being a full-on leftist is a bad look for most Colombians.
There’s a Colombian comedian who says that Colombians hate being Colombian, and always aspire to be of some other nationality, but it varies which one by class: High-class Colombians aspire to be and act like they’re European, Middle class Colombians aspire to be American, and very poor Colombians aspire to be Mexican. It feels really true that a lot of people fall into the trap of wanting shit just because it’s from the US, and thinking anything that’s not popular there is therefore bad, like cars or phones.
Source missing from that post, but it’s from the Pew Research Center.
I couldn’t find any justification for their picking those countries (maybe they’re the only countries that let the Pew Research Center establish any presence). And their methodology seems to suffer similar biases these kinds of wide opinion polls typically do (e.g. if you don’t answer the phone or agree to talk to weird strangers you’re not counted), which typically skew towards older conservatives who are sitting at home. Sample sizes also leave a lot to be desired.
Not to say this data is entirely inaccurate, but as with like 90% of these studies, they leave so much statistically uncertain that it’s borderline meaningless.
Luna oi! (Vietnamese youtuber) did a video on a ““statistic”” by the Pew Research Center saying something like “95% of Vietnamese like capitalism!”
obviously misinformation, but she went ahead and translated the original Vietnamese question in English as something like “do you think the Doi Moi reforms were beneficial to Vietnam?”. which like jfc of course they were lol
I remember once reading that Jordan’s approval rate of the USA in 2003 was 1%
Also “Four of five Palestinians disapproved of American leadership, by far the worst perception of the United States globally”
We’re based, westerners aren’t
Based Tunisia.
