Swede here, I worked at an American/Global company's internal IT helpdesk for 4,5 years, and I can't say that I have ever met an american I have actually disliked, at worst I felt ambivalent, but for the most part I just felt generally positive towards them.
Worst users I have worked with based on nationallity tend to be people from UK, it was not unusual for them to act slightly superior to us lowly IT servants, don't get me wrong, most Brits I have met are great guys, but when working with some of them, they seem to be stuck in a strict classist society and be very much aware of that we were below them, which does not work in Sweden.
Very similar experience with Americans. I've spent about 6 months in the country over my life so far. Lovely folks generally. We get loads of American tourists here and they're all lovely.
Obviously there's the occasional cunt but sure everywhere has those.
Americans think everyone else hates them when in fact it's usually just all the countries they've lost wars to.
Europeans literally couldn't care less what the Americans think of them because our day to day lives are so much better in almost every sense, and all they could come up with is "Europoors" 😂
No no, I think everyone else is lurking in the dark and wringing their gloved hands as they salivate and plot to take my precious freedoms.
Not my freedumbs!
