As if their Love or Hatred Mattered More than Anyone Elses’

A Discussion on Anti-Americanism is to be found at the EU Referendum blog and forum, and it’s getting quite rich:

As an American resident in the UK, I find that most of the 'anti-Americanism' stems from the very solipsism of which Americans are most often accused: a profoundly rooted assumption in Britain that the European approach to existence is the absolute best, world without end, amen. That Americans are accused of triumphalism and an assumption that THEIR way of life is the best becomes somewhat ironic in this light.

Quite often, I hear remarks along these lines: 'why don't you Americans [all 300 million, presumably] act more like ______?'

Prescient. Do please join in if you wish, and here as well.
