> This is another article in a long tail of anti-American and anti-Western content that has been cropping up online for about two years now. It's getting to be a very popular subject.

1. Finland

2. Denmark

3. Iceland

4. Sweden

5. Netherlands

It's just an interesting assertion you're making, I suppose.

For example?

If you are also including this article.. I mean, it's not anti-western and I can't even see how it's anti-American. It's reporting survey results.

Here is how I read OP:

It is anti American not in the sense of “I think America is a bad/immortal place” but much more in the sense of “we objectively can measure that in accordance to Americans, America is bad for Americans”.. Now this could be true or not. It is anti American. If it is fair/true or not it’s an other question.

It’s pretty wild how people lump the collective West and the US together. Maybe that worked in the past, but the US as it is today is definitely not how one would imagine a western country.

Being the dominant western force, it is the current model for “the west”. It’s pretty wild how people say “the west” and are intending to not include the US front and center of that.
