This hatred (or at best illogical dislike) has been an increasing trend since ......... well, since when?
Since we joined the EEC maybe?
Has all their propaganda worked to such a degree?
If you look at Yanks for example, even now at the height of difficult times they almost universally love their country.
They are extremely patriotic.
A poster in these forums I've noted is an Aussie and I can just imagine what he'd say to somebody decrying his country.
But when you speak to EUropeans (as opposed to Europeans; ie: EU citizens as opposed to those living in Europe but not EU citizens) that post in these parts of the forum there seems to be a common adoration of the EU above country.
There is no logic to it if they would take the time to closer-examine what the EU has done, but these people adore the EU.
Not Germany; not The Netherlands (as with those I have experienced here) but the EU.
So the EU's propaganda has worked.
On the gullible at least.
