Person A: Hating on America is a great sport abroad. It is a great way for Americans to make friends. (Or at least in some parts of the world.)

Person B: Yup, it's an awesome way for Americans to make friends in the fickle world of most of Europe. Ah, to be accepted by the people who enslaved most of the known world and yet judge everyone for not being liberal enough. I for one can't wait to disparage my country in front of other people so that I can be looked upon as acceptable by the masses.
