I consider myself anti-American inasmuch as I become annoyed whenever I find her popular culture and vocabulary drifting into other places. I am happy to talk about computers and babies here, though I must insist I discuss Rechner und Säuglinge. It is rather a general preference for linguistic and cultural integrity than anything against Washington specifically, though the degree and spread of American influence in recent decades accentuates the point.

Probably a reasonable complaint. Not really a form of the radical ideology I have in mind though. An Australian I know dislikes American burger joints supplanting homegrown places for example. So he's oppressed with cheaper American hamburgers.

Trying to stop the encroachment of the English language is difficult. Special measures should be taken if one wishes to preserve one's own language as needed. Even Quebec does this.
