Nope, it's over 60% positive.

What I'm learning the older I get is that once you step out of the discourse the average person does not give a fuck about anything, at all.

Except for their immediate interest - their wage, rent / mortgage, gas, no?

Which.. makes sense.. in the current system which also promotes the everyone-for-themselves independent market-participant (false) narrative.

Compassion is a luxury good for those who have all their needs met. Globalization and third world labor diminished any semblance of that many decades ago, now you have low interest rates and cheap debt being the main thing propping up peoples diminishing lifestyle.

While I can agree with you in principle, these results do not show that.

The US is rated “positive” but dramatically less so that other countries. For the countries shown, the only counties less popular than the US are Russia and China.

Well, the US government isn't openly and directly supporting Russia's invasion, and there's bound to be some goodwill left over from previous administrations. Plus, some individual Americans and US-based charities are probably still trying to be helpful. We can't be sure exactly what respondants to the poll took into account when answering it.

Third worst. But positive (lowest positive). Russia and China negative.

I still don't think we're doing enough.
