Social media reflects a silicon valley perspective and US domestic news have contaminated the entire eurozone since over a decade.

Movies are also a distillate of a local culture often with a rather uniform ideological slant.

AI being a clone army of corporate spokesmen from the US west coast brings sparsely little new cultural homogeneity to the already very smoothed table.

I'd be somewhat concerned that what is actually reflected is a cultures willingness to adopt US (west coast) values over its own. We see this constantly in some European countries where we're willing to adopt US view points and problems over our own. Either because we're constantly exposed the US problems online or because the US problems are simply more "interesting", in the sense that they are more decisive and easier for us to split into right and wrong.

'Some', being which countries?
