And do you care to know what others/foreigners/liberals think about you?
I think they can be separate questions. I was reading the thread about China and their views on us and it just got me thinking. What is the rationale behind not giving a hoot about how others view us? Whether "us" means Americans, gun-owners, etc. I understand there is a difference between knowing how they view us and not caring VS not wanting to know at all. Where do you stand and why? |

Wife, dad, sister, in-laws, boss, really close friends, some co-workers.
That's about the whole list. |
|
Kinda. I want foreigners to like America and Americans, I don't know why but I do.
Me, personally? I don't give a fuck what you think of me. |
|
As an individual, I don't care what anyone thinks of me. As a citizen, I do care about what others think of our nation.

I'm a successful, hard working white American who has raised a beautiful little family of 5 and give back to my country, church, and community as often as I am physically able. I live in the greatest country in the world, and have everything I could ever need or want.
There is literally NOTHING that anyone could ever say about me or accuse me of that would knock me down even a little bit. Nobody who isn't a hard working American has ANY right to comment on the goings-on in our country. |

Huh. There seems to be a few IDGAFs. Any reason why one would not want to have information on how others view them/their nation? I don't think I would turn down information. What could hurt by knowing how others see you? It would give you an idea of how you might expect to be treated, interacted with, etc. Just more insight overall. Also I mainly lurk, to explain my post count.

As an ally, yeah it's important. But when so-called allies would intentionally try and screw us over as some tried with the Paris Accord...That'll force you to take a step back and think.
ETA: And then attempt to sway our brightest minds into leaving? That's not an ally. |

If you aren't my family or Jesus, I honestly don't give a fuck about anything you think.

I also had the Left in mind when I made this thread.
I want to know how they see us. I want to know what they think our weakness is. I want to know what their main points of attack are and their strategy. You think they don't follow arfcom posts to gain insight? Because they do. I know many of you have a don't care attitude but that is where the left will beat us with their sneakiness. Why are we not willing to be as cunning? Why are you guys being so stubborn? This has nothing to do with being knocked down a notch or whatever, this is about being open and receptive to public image and knowing more about improving image for an overall advantage. |

I care if others think that I'm honest. I don't care if they think I'm a jerk.

"I don't care what anyone thinks about me!"
"Hive look at my/recommend me a/this happened to me what do I do?" lol. |
|
Most people like Americans,with the exception of some of its closest allies. That is a little weird but whatever.

I don't give one single fuck what other countries think about me. I don't even pay attention to them, I couldn't tell you shit about 99% of people from other countries because I'm too busy worrying about my own shit here. They should do the same and stop being jealous crybaby fucks.

I barely care what my family thinks about me never-mind strangers.

Nope, they jelly.
Fake news watching commies, need to watch their own bobber. |
