By American culture I mean the spread of American business, over prevalence of the English language in non Anglo nations, modern films and modern music.
I am very anti globalist and pro nationalist so I would hate American culture being used as a tool to weaken and destroy the culture of other cultures I admire.
In many ways I wish American was more European in our culture in things such as architecture, city design and social etiquette.

On the contrary I am a nationalist but I am also an internationalist.
I am not a petty isolationist, that is one thing I disagree with the founding fathers.
I am for building bridges with European nations and building walls Latin America.
I have a civilizational identity with western civilization and I have a racial European identity. I see America as a product of that civilization so I believe in building stronger bonds with our civilizational “brother nations.”

Because I´ve never been to the US I can´t say much about how American culture works. I would say that American culture is a phenomen and maybe a metaphor of the main vector of globalism which is a liberal and progressive state.
The idea that globalism carries is that I can go anywhere, sell anything and travel with as least problems as possible. That way production for certain products is cheap and it´s possible produce certain stuff in high numbers.
I think American culture is a part of that phenomen since America is lead nation in the West its companies and language could be seen more important than other companies of other countries. Like in sections like IT there are few European companies that could enter a competition with American companies.
But it´s not necessarily the American culture that´s the problem alone but the general idea that values like freedom of speech have to taken absolute to be seen as working. Like you have either freedom of speech anywhere and in any situation or you don´t have it all.
The values are breaking because they´ve become questionable in anyway.
Well, my answer will be nuanced. First of all, we could consider that the United States are largely the product of Europe and its culture, through the fact that the United States were populated and colonized by Europeans and that in a large proportion the American society was largely founded by the philosophers of the Enlightenment.
But yes for example in France the American culture is very largely dominant, turn on the TV in France and there will be practically only American films, songs or series. The English language is also everywhere and in the French societies it is necessary to speak and act "American" even in a simple small country bar, the menu displays English words. Another example of the Americanization of the French society is the fact that in politics before, there were no primaries, but to do like the USA today we have primaries, and for example when Macron sings the Marseillaise he puts his hand on his heart...
But to be honest I am myself very Americanized, I have an iphone, I use Google, I watch my movies and series on Netflix and Amazon, when I listen to music I go on youtube and I go eat at macdo or kfc. And most of my favorite artists are American.
If American culture is so loved, it's because it's simply the best at producing things that work and make people's lives easier, Americans don't force people to like their culture, if American culture dominates it's because people massively adhere to it and if I happen to criticize this domination it's because I'm just jealous that it's not the French culture that dominates as it used to do
If I were American I would be proud of this achievement
I actually feel kind of bad about it because as I said I oppose globalism.
I am not totally against cultural exchange.
I like the fact that I can talk to someone from Europe about an anime or a movie, or a tv show we both enjoy. But I think that sometimes American media overwhelms countries like France.
And I think Hollywood and modern American music has a lot of negative cultural influence.
As I said if it was up to me Americans would have better retained our European roots and culture because now I feel we have become a soulless capitalist society.
(I’m not anti capitalist I just hate when economists overtakes culture)
It seems in many ways Americans lack Etiquette and decorum that is more common in Europe.
Well, as in all things, there is good and bad, but American culture cannot be summed up only in what is happening now with wokism for example.
In short you are an American of the origins, of 1776 lol. You think that the Americans should have remained quietly at home and not to meddle in the affairs of the world
I meant to reply but I accidentally updated the question if you want to read that.
But I would prefer more equal cultural exchange between America and Europe then what we have now.
In my opinion, no. I think globalism is driven by lust for power and control. If certain national leaders are told that there's a way that they can stay in power without having to face another election, essentially be made king over a country or region, human nature being what it is, they're probably going to go for it even if it means imprisoning or killing their own people. I believe Satan is the driver of this movemen and it fits in exactly as the Bible said it would in the end times. A global government and a coming one-world religion. A false one at that.
