America's millennials, Gen Z are leading America away from American culture. I don't think its surprising to see it in other parts of the world.
To the contrary, they're defining the American culture of their era.

#12I'd be willing to bet most of the worlds youth are less enthused about American culture after the last 4 years. Would be interesting to compare sentiments between other countries. The box office thing just seems to be that domestic filmmakers are producing better stuff.
Agree - while the rise of woke and cancel culture in America have affected people's perception of American culture in the last few years (e.g https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/09/world/europe/france-threa... https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-02-18/u-k-an... ), I think the lack of quality entertainment from Hollywood over the last few years (reboots, superhero movies etc) are a much bigger reason for the r…
they are related. Hollywood movies get worse the more they push the woke religion. it's a lot like Christian rock.

This take is insanely disconnected from reality.

#17The Communist Party in China has led an economic boom over the last 40 years absolutely unprecedented in human history. That earned them a ton of credibility with their citizens. You can commit atrocities and few people will care if you also lift 500M people out of crushing poverty. At the same time, Chinese soft cultural offerings like movies and music have gotten decent if not good. Why would they look up to America at this point?

It's not a "take", leftist self-loathing is a real, measurable phenomenon, and they're the only group who do it: https://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-news-and-politics/284875/am...

The kind of people in France who have negative feelings towards America because of 'woke culture' are not Gen Z or Millenials, but largely conservative or upper class older cohorts, like say the French arts community. The kind of people who think of the US as prudish and would go out and defend Polanski, that kind of stuff.
There's no significant difference between young Europeans and young Americans or even young Chinese when it comes to social issues, and trying to shoehorn cancel culture in there is just a bad attempt to hijack the discussion. No youth outside of the US things the US is too left-wing, lol.
The reason why the Chinese youth nowadays is more anti-American than their parents has nothing to do with cancel culture in the US, they don't care. The reason is that they're tired of being caught up in another countries dream. Many older Chinese still can't shake admiration for the US and liberal values out of principle. When they grew up, the US was the only game in town. Newer generations are more ambitious. They want their own culture, they don't feel like they owe anything to the US, and they perceive liberal democracies largely as a dysfunctional mess. They didn't witness cool Britannia and the fall of the Soviet Union.
