I feel like so many people were already fed up with the us for a long time, but because everyone is now being offended at the same time and everyone is reacting simultaneously, it is now much more visible.

Not really: until now it was mostly done as a joke, sometimes the far-right/ far-left were a bit more serious about their loathing. Now it's way more diffused throughout the society and it's humourless. Dead serious.

The tone hardened for sure, and it definitely wasn't as serious as it is now or as diffused throughout society as it is now; but I'm convinced there has been a lot of dislike for American culture (ok, mainly fastfood) and disagreement of American geopolitics / warmongering for a long time now. Even if it was said jokingly, there was a truth beneath that. I don't believe anti-america movement just came into being in just a few months or years.

Don't forget America's role in the spread of capitalist extremism among employers and politicians. I think that has impacted people's lives a lot more than American culture even though the latter played a role in the propaganda arm of that operation of course.
