I’d very much like to see a correlation plot here, i.e. if someone likes Mexico, do they also like China? You would need the raw response data for that though.
There is one by political affiliation in OPs link. It looks like what you’d expect.

The fact that Americans still hate Iraq after 20 years of a puppet regims is insane

Who are the 13% with a favourable opinion of North Korea? I get that between Muslims and tankies you might be able to scrounge up that many who like Iran, but North Korea? How does that one rise above Lizardman’s Constant?

Reverse this order for Private Bonespurs, except for Iran.

When only 17% of Americans view Russia favorably, while 63% view Ukraine favorably, shows why Trump so clearly favoring Russia over Ukraine in the war goes over like a lead balloon, even among the MAGA base.

Who the hell are the 13% of people that see North Korea as favorable. Wonder how this would change if you only accepted results from people that could identify these countries on map.
10% of people dont like Denmark – who are these people?

I can’t overstate how important it is to mentally separate the inhabitants of the country from the government of the country. I lived in Russia for 2 years. I think their government is a disaster. But I know many extremely good people who live there. It would be easy to make the exact same statement about the United States.

Looking at Denmark.
Would like a scatter plot.
percentage of Americans that have positive view of <country> vs percentage of citizens of <country> that have a positive view of the US.

10% of people have an unfavorable opinion of Italy?
Japan probably also has the biggest opinion flip and I won’t be close lol.

Of all the countries on this list I count only 4 we haven’t dropped bombs on. I’m probably forgetting something though.
India, Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia.

I feel like surveys need to clearly distinguish countries from a government vs. cultural context in the context of its framing.
Seems like everyone is rizzing up Italy cause they like spaghetti & pizza but know nothing of how it operates as a country

What’s your least favorite country, Italy or France? Nobody ever says Italy

Propaganda works! Isn’t it crazy how our belief systems are aligned with our geopolitical and capitalist system based interests? 😂

Why North Korea (and Japan, too), but no South Korea? Maybe that’s where the 13% went…

to have people liking north Korea shows an abject failure in reality.

I would like to know how the question was phrased. This is so vague. Are we rating the government? The people? The culture? Geography?

How do 13% of Americans support NK?

I need to know why the 10% has an unfavorable view of italy, what could be the reason?
Like Japan, I could understand it can be due to anti Japan during world War ii or in case of Denmark, could be due to recent trump’s remarks to takeover Greenland. So what’s the lore behind italy’s unfavorable %?

I worry for the people that like North Korea and Russia.

What pop culture dominance and pacifism can do

I find it interesting that Israel is split 50/50. It really explains the divisiveness we see in politics. Half of the population is brainwashed by a cult leader. The other half is the rest of us that are tired of this shit and want the entire system to come crashing down.

Is there a datapoint for United States?
LurkBot9000 on
I know its a limited poll but there’s a huge difference between not liking a country because of it’s government and not liking a country without regard for it’s government.
Id love to be able to visit Iran. The people who arent about the theocracy, the culture, the food. All are probably great.
The government can go though (just like the US gov too IMO).

I just think it’s curious that the average person’s view on Saudi Arabia is on par with that of Cuba, China and Venezuela, yet the US has been propping up the Saudis for the greater part of a century. It’s like “we know you guys hate these people, but we’re gonna help them anyway”.

I’d love to see which of these countries those same Americans can point to on a map.
