- [Briggs] What is going on, everyone?
[2]
Welcome back to "The World According to Briggs",
[4]
and a list about the most hated countries on the planet.
[7]
Yeah, people hate different countries.
[9]
Several different organizations do different surveys
[12]
on what country is the most hated or disliked on the planet.
[15]
Reputation Institute, Pew Research does this thing
[18]
called attitude towards different countries.
[20]
I looked at all the different surveys that I could find
[22]
and I came up with a list of countries that most frequently
[25]
show up on these studies or surveys,
[27]
whatever you want to call them.
[29]
There are a lot of different reasons
[30]
people from other countries may hate another country.
[33]
It could be things that happened in the past or now,
[37]
it could be for economic reasons or military reasons.
[40]
For whatever reason, people hate.
[42]
It's just a fact.
[43]
This is a very interesting list.
[45]
I've found some on the list,
[46]
they really haven't done anything horrible
[49]
in decades and decades,
[50]
but people hate them going back
[52]
hundreds and hundreds of years, it's really strange.
[54]
All right, let's see what people say
[56]
are the most hated countries.
[58]
(electricity crackles)
[60]
- Number 10, Saudi Arabia.
[62]
Saudi Arabia is an oil rich country in the Persian Gulf
[65]
and everyone's heard of Saudi Arabia.
[66]
This place is highly dominated by religious laws
[69]
and go all the way to medieval punishments like stoning,
[71]
lashing, amputation for thieves,
[73]
women really get a raw deal here, too.
[76]
With lack of most freedoms that we take for granted
[78]
here in the United States,
[79]
that are just part of our normal life.
[81]
I was reading some of their laws
[82]
and thinking why would they stop a woman from doing that?
[85]
One of their laws that just baffled me,
[87]
which I knew about it for a long time
[88]
I just thought it was strange,
[89]
started reading about it.
[90]
Was women, when they go outside the home
[91]
have to cover themselves from head to toe,
[93]
including their faces.
[95]
And they're not allowed to go any place alone.
[97]
They have to take a male relative with them,
[99]
could be a brother, could be their husband, whatever.
[101]
I'm sure that it gets old quick for both the woman
[103]
and her brother, who every time she's gotta go to the store,
[107]
and if her husband's working, she gotta call
[109]
her loser brother to come over and escort her to the store.
[112]
They got a whole bunch of other reasons
[113]
that rub outsiders the wrong way here.
[115]
And that's what gets them on lists like this.
[118]
Most tourists will tell you
[119]
to stay away from this place
[120]
because it's kinda boring to visit.
[122]
(electricity crackles)
[124]
- Number nine, Turkey.
[126]
Turkey has had a love-hate relationship
[128]
with the world for centuries.
[130]
Turkish people are great, I know a few of 'em,
[132]
all of 'em are wonderful people.
[133]
What's putting them on the list,
[135]
according to several sources is their current government.
[137]
And actually their past government,
[139]
when they were the Ottomans.
[140]
When you go way back,
[141]
Turkey is hated because of the Armenian genocide.
[144]
The massacre was carried out by the Ottoman Empire
[147]
and resulted in the deaths
[149]
of 1.5 million people, Armenians mostly.
[152]
If you don't know the Ottoman Empire,
[153]
it's probably 'cause you're from the United States.
[155]
We kinda just brush over it in our world history.
[158]
But the Ottoman Empire was basically big in this area
[161]
and it all came from Turkey.
[162]
And I just totally broad brushed that again,
[165]
but give you the idea what's going on there.
[167]
Although the massacre is widely known,
[169]
it is still denied by the Turkish government.
[171]
It's like, they know it happened,
[173]
everyone else knows it happened,
[174]
but if they don't admit it, it didn't happen.
[177]
It's weird.
[178]
(electricity crackles)
[180]
- Number eight, Iran.
[181]
I know many Persians,
[182]
I've worked in Beverly Hills for a lot of years
[184]
and it's filled to the brim with Persians.
[186]
Like Turkey, the people are kind and decent,
[189]
very smart and friendly.
[190]
It's their government.
[191]
It supports terrorism around the world,
[193]
has horrible human rights record,
[195]
keeps threatening the world with nukes
[197]
and it likes to piss off the most powerful nations
[199]
on the planet.
[200]
The people are great though.
[202]
And it's not just the United States
[203]
they like rubbing the wrong way, everyone.
[205]
If you're a major power in this world,
[207]
Iran's gotten under your skin at some point.
[209]
(electricity crackles)
[211]
Number seven, India.
[213]
If any country excels in discrimination, it's India.
[216]
This is one of the main reasons people hate this place.
[219]
The Indians believe that hating you
[221]
for your color, race, gender is perfectly a normal thing.
[224]
Now I'm not saying all of 'em,
[225]
this is just a general feel.
[227]
I'm sure you could run into a lot of really nice Indians.
[229]
This, as you can imagine,
[231]
puts a bad taste in a lot of people's mouth
[233]
and it kinda keeps 'em away from visiting India.
[235]
The country isn't safe, especially for women.
[238]
They are cracking down on this,
[239]
but it isn't terribly rare to find out
[241]
that some woman was attacked by a group of men.
[244]
For a while there, it seemed to be happening
[246]
like every week.
[247]
I mean, brutal stuff too.
[249]
Not like touching on the bus or something like that,
[251]
it was ugly.
[252]
On top of that, they aren't the best neighbors
[254]
to other countries around them.
[256]
They have a really bad reputation for that.
[258]
(electricity crackles)
[260]
Number six, the United Kingdom.
[263]
Yes, believe it or not, the United Kingdom
[265]
is hated by a lot of people
[267]
and it's not so much as what's going on now,
[270]
it's they have a terrible past.
[272]
it's thought by many around the world
[274]
that the UK is extremely greedy
[276]
and it ruled about a quarter of the earth at one point.
[279]
It was one of the first in the world
[281]
to bring in a slavery system.
[282]
It encouraged civil wars,
[284]
oppressed and looted many countries
[286]
and is responsible for the division
[287]
and destruction of several countries
[289]
in different continents around the world
[291]
and still involved in most of the major wars
[294]
that happen on the planet.
[295]
But if you go way back, I mean,
[297]
look at anything to do with history,
[299]
especially here in the United States,
[300]
you could tell England was kind of,
[302]
they were kinda a-holes.
[303]
And the arrogance they had back in the day about it
[306]
was just incredible.
[307]
One of the best scenes, there's a movie called
[309]
"Last of the Mohicans"
[310]
and Daniel Day-Lewis is this scout woodsman
[314]
and this British officer, he saves him.
[316]
And then he's all, how is it you came across
[318]
this war party of Native Americans
[320]
that were attacking the British?
[322]
And he goes, well, we were headed to Kentucky.
[323]
He's all why are you heading to Kentucky?
[324]
All of our scouts are heading to someplace else.
[327]
And he goes, well I ain't one of your scouts.
[329]
I mean, the British officer's demeanor
[332]
was like, what do you mean?
[333]
He's all, yeah, I'm just not doing that stuff.
[335]
Great movie though.
[336]
One of the reports I read,
[337]
there's a big problem with the British.
[339]
Obviously they were in India for a very long time
[341]
and I don't know all the ins and outs of it,
[343]
but it seems very interesting,
[344]
but it's a little more time consuming
[346]
than I wanted to get into.
[347]
They say the UK destroyed India
[349]
and ruined its education system.
[351]
What'd they do, like steal all the teachers?
[353]
What went on there?
[354]
I gotta read about that.
[355]
(electricity crackles)
[357]
Number five, China.
[359]
China has a lot of people
[360]
and they execute a staggering amount of 'em.
[363]
They have forced labor camps,
[364]
ugly history and cheap exports.
[366]
They've been accused of currency manipulation
[368]
and have decided that the island of Taiwan belongs to them.
[372]
They're always, something going on between those two.
[374]
Some of their low cost products include medicine and food.
[377]
On a few occasions, they've decided to use materials
[381]
that are less expensive so they could drive up profits,
[384]
make the product cheaper.
[386]
The downside is this has caused some deaths.
[388]
That type of thing has gone on for decades with them.
[391]
So many times, they found out some toy
[393]
that was inspected before,
[395]
all the sudden they switched it out
[397]
to having lead-based paint or something like that
[399]
because it's cheaper, on a kid's toy.
[402]
As you can imagine, all those things
[403]
have gotten them on this list.
[405]
(electricity crackles)
[407]
Number four, Israel.
[409]
Israeli people and the Palestinian people
[411]
have been going at each other's throats
[414]
for decades and decades.
[415]
They fire rockets at each other from across the border,
[418]
the politics and the drama that has gone on here for,
[422]
like I said, decades and decades is just far too complicated
[426]
to cover in a 10 minute video.
[428]
But whenever you have warring neighbors,
[430]
the one that's usually doing the most damage
[433]
is the more powerful one, which brings on a lot of hatred
[435]
and that's part of Israel's problem.
[437]
I mean, there's a ton that goes into this,
[440]
but basically the war that they've had
[441]
with the Palestinian people
[443]
and the fact that there are Jewish nation
[444]
surrounded by Muslim nations,
[446]
probably doesn't help matters either.
[448]
(electricity crackles)
[450]
Number three, Russia.
[452]
Russia has a history of being aggressive to its neighbors,
[455]
not just in military terms, economics, hacking,
[457]
forcing a bunch of countries to join the Soviet Union
[460]
and before you say it, yes, some went willingly.
[462]
At least the people in charge went willingly,
[465]
it's really hard to find average Joes
[467]
from the old Soviet Union
[468]
that were on board with this whole operation.
[471]
Russia likes to create conflicts
[473]
between major nations of the world,
[475]
which is designed to be beneficial to Russia.
[477]
They like to kill people that disagree with them,
[479]
no matter what country the person happens to be standing in.
[483]
You know, like Russians go someplace else,
[484]
they've been talking to the media
[485]
bad about Russian government
[487]
and next thing you know they've been poisoned with uranium
[489]
or something weird like that.
[490]
They're, right now, in the news
[492]
because they have jailed an opposition leader
[494]
that's been on a hunger strike.
[495]
This isn't the first time they've done that either.
[497]
All those things and some other things
[499]
make Russia one of the most hated countries on the planet.
[502]
(electricity crackles)
[504]
Number two, the United States of America.
[507]
Yeah you heard me, my country, our country,
[509]
if you're watching from the United States,
[511]
is the second most hated country in the world.
[513]
Now it's hard to believe if you're from the country,
[515]
much like if you're from Russia,
[516]
you're probably wondering why people would hate Russia,
[519]
that's just how things are.
[521]
We're kinda designed to be that way.
[523]
The United States of America is hated by many
[526]
because of its vast military and economic power
[528]
over the rest of the world and that's just a fact.
[531]
We've been involved in so many different conflicts,
[533]
which have just angered people from the areas
[536]
and in the countries that the conflicts happened in.
[538]
They're in a lot of cases wondering why we got involved.
[541]
You would probably have to go back to the Korean War
[543]
and World War II to find a time that we were truly justified
[548]
by going to war there
[549]
and the people were probably happy with it 90% of the time,
[552]
I mean the people from those countries.
[554]
But considering we've been involved in all these conflicts,
[557]
we are one of the wealthiest countries on the planet
[560]
and we have the largest military,
[563]
it's hard not to be hated
[565]
by Third World countries because of that.
[567]
There are so many other things for all of these really,
[570]
not just the United States, but for all these countries,
[572]
there's thousands of other reasons
[574]
people might hate that country.
[576]
And I'm sure we're gonna see a lot of 'em
[577]
in the comments section below.
[578]
Keep in mind before you tell me I forgot something,
[580]
or I didn't include somebody, this a 10 minute video,
[583]
I'm not gonna get to everything.
[584]
I'm just kind of giving you an idea,
[585]
but it is a very interesting subject
[588]
and it's worth doing some reading on.
[592]
And before we get to number one, don't forget
[594]
we have another channel called "On This Day".
[596]
There is a link down below.
[599]
We'd love it if you went over there,
[600]
watch a couple videos, maybe subscribe.
[602]
All right on to number one.
[604]
(electricity crackles)
[607]
And number one, North Korea.
[610]
Who didn't see this one coming?
[611]
You know, when you put as much effort into hiding
[614]
what is going on in your country as North Korea does,
[617]
you know what's going on isn't good.
[619]
North Korea has been a big pain in the ass to everyone
[622]
for a very long time.
[623]
We know their people are starving, jailed, executed,
[626]
they disappear in the middle of the night
[627]
and they're subjected to an insane propaganda program.
[631]
They're told that their leader
[632]
doesn't have to use the restroom
[634]
because he works so hard for the North Korean people
[636]
that he burns off all the calories he takes in,
[639]
so he never creates any waste.
[641]
They also tell the people of North Korea
[642]
that he has to take phone calls from other countries
[646]
to solve problems that other countries can't figure out.
[650]
They also have their own Netflix knockoff called Manbang.
[653]
I'm not kidding, it's called Manbang.
[655]
I don't even know how to explain
[656]
they came up with that name,
[657]
but it doesn't mean what it sounds like to Americans.
[660]
I'm sure it means something different to them.
[662]
This is a streaming service that has three channels.
[664]
Two of which are government news channels
[666]
filled with nonsense and one channel
[668]
that shows government approved movies only.
[670]
Those who live in the country
[672]
suffer from restrictions of freedom,
[673]
as their internet access is heavily censored,
[676]
poor infrastructure, low standard of living.
[678]
And the reason they're all poor
[680]
and their infrastructure is crumbling
[682]
is because they put all their money towards nuclear weapons.
[685]
This is an obsession with the North Korean government.
[687]
It threatens the world with nuclear war,
[689]
like on a weekly basis.
[691]
They have an aggressive attitude
[692]
towards neighboring countries
[693]
and this has caused them to be pretty much isolated
[695]
from the rest of the world.
[697]
And people go on to believe that they're just totally evil,
[699]
which I'm sure the people are just fine.
[701]
It's just their government is just whacked.
[704]
The outside world knows very little
[706]
of what's going on in North Korea.
[708]
Every once in a while, we'll get someone that defected over.
[711]
They finally got out of the country
[712]
and they just tell us horrible things.
[714]
I remember there was this soldier
[716]
that jumped across the border not too long ago,
[718]
he was starving.
[718]
He had seeds from trees in his stomach
[721]
that he just couldn't get enough food,
[722]
so he was actually eating these big seeds
[724]
that weren't digested and it was kind of sad.
[727]
(upbeat music)
[730]
All right, that's today's list.
[732]
Hope you guys got some information out of it,
[734]
hope you guys enjoyed it, it's kind of weird.
[735]
And it's really weird to have to say that yeah,
[738]
the United States is one of the most hated countries
[740]
on the planet, I love my country.
[742]
It's just I had to go by what the survey said,
[745]
trying to give you guys the most accurate information I can,
[747]
don't hate the messenger.
[748]
All right, everyone have a great day.
[750]
Be nice to each other.
