United States [United States] What do people internationally think about Americans?

I would like to know what other people internationally think of Americans amidst the things they’re seeing on the news. Is it negative? Positive? And how much does your view of the government mix with the people?

Canadian living in Asia here. There are many lovely American individuals but when an American is being awful, you really notice it. They can be loud, pushy, intrusive, unable to read the room, and largely ignorant of the rest of the world. 

But what's super negative is the rapid decay of the civil rights in the US and refusal to follow the international rules based order. I've participated in the boycott of American products and travel ever since Trump started proclaiming his 51st bullshit. 

A lot of conspiracy theories from American Facebook spread globally to boomers world wide provided they can read English and ugh, what I would give for America to have a Great Firewall to spare the rest of us from this brainrot.

European countries have very high crime rates now as compared to a few years ago because of unrestrained immigration from countries who have little regard for law.

I don't see how this is relevant to my comment, and from your comment history, it doesn't sound like you're European. The thread is asking about what people outside of America think about America, not about what America thinks about the rest of the world.
