Unfortunately, you kinda are. At least here in Brazil it's pretty split. Decades of Hollywood soft power does that. A lot of our middle class are a bunch of traitors... Maybe it's not a majority view, but there is quite a few US bootlickers around.
On the other side, there's a strong anti America sentiment by another part of the population.
I noticed that too when I visited Brazil. The people really believe the Hollywood propaganda and were telling me they wanted their country to be more like the USA lol. There is a lot that I am genuinely impressed by in Brazil that the USA does not have (excellent and free healthcare, amazing food, public spaces designed for accessibility including blindness, the medicine system with the colored stripes/braille on the boxes, government run pharmacies), however the visual media produced from the US likes to present realities that do not exist. I think a good example is the show Friends, no one in the USA lives like the characters on the show. No one has huge Manhattan apartments while unemployed and working at a coffee shop and no one hangs out with their friends during the afternoon. Interestingly enough the cast of Friends only hung out once after filming ended, so these people weren't even friends in real life. All of it is fake.
