Good. Americans are usually not aware of the extent of american cultural imperialism which is basically everywhere, not just in Europe but you can see it very strong here

I'm not saying it's bad or good. But I wish we have less Hollywood, less Netflix, less american music, less american videogames, less imported american culture topics etc when actual local music, movies, books, games exist.

It is funny seeing (presumably west) coastal americans take a very milquetoast pro-imperial view of "their country" (insofar as english is a representative weapon of america, despite it having originated ostensibly somewhere else centuries ago) to fight "the europeans"
