Shit, I'm American and even I'm anti-American.

I'm a human before I'm an American and America isn't acting very humane.

Act like trash, get treated like trash.

A number of companies have noted this trend. David Gibbs, CEO of KFC and Taco Bell parent Yum Brands, told analysts in late April that the company was closely monitoring the issue and its impact on consumer behavior, but added that there had not been an observable impact on its sales.

I'm surprised its mild enough for them to claim this so far.

I know the Canadians are pissed, but are all y'all's peers on other continents mostly... indifferent? I guess it's egotistical to assume people generally follow American news, but some of it really seems hard to ignore.

lots of folks in my circle also boycotting american products and services. in the cross hairs here are Amazon, Google, any american food, booze, clothing, cars, etc. Most in my circle dont watch american news. its depressing to see a country descend into third world status so quickly

The effects are definitely felt in Germany as well. It started (or can so far be traceable in the news) with Tesla. Not sure about any other sentiment, but I genuinely wouldn't be surprised. This is the first time there's news about things other than Tesla.

But yeah, I personally started going more for European products and that is also the policies pushed by some European countries atm. It might be a coincidence, but I switched away from MAMMA where I could (with Win10 support running out, I went over to Linux, I. e.; or I switched my default browser away from chrome and search engine away from google).

Here in Europe I know plenty of people who avoid American stuff where possible.

Easy solution: Don't be a dick to regular humans and human rights and the Anti-American Sentiment will fade.

I think that Coke know that, that's because in Mexico there is a logo "Made in Mexico" in every coke.

Huh, weird. who could have guessed acting like a douche would make people hate you? It's almost as if everyone could see this coming.
