It seems that cultural domination is dwindling. At least in Russia. Hollywood studios left the country themselves in 2022. But also Hollywood movies are of such low quality nowadays that I stopped going to cinema long before that. Also, they're stuffed with current American narrative (like LGBT propaganda) to the top that doesn't look even a little bit attractive to us. Forty years ago we could look at "American dream" in the movies and feel that we're missing something. Nowadays when LGBT narrative is pushed down my throat forcefully from every scene in the movie and every page of their books (even Sci-Fi), I just stop reading or watching. And there's no more "American dream" that we can strive for or that Hollywood movies can advertise to us. Also their dwindling sales show that this narrative is not attractive even for their own population.

American music seems to lost a lot of popularity here as well. When I hear American music on the radio, it is usually 30-50 years old or more, not the current music which feels totally commercial and artificial.

LGBT propaganda... Funny how people who have been gobbling up propaganda about something, always think "the other side" is the one producing the actual propaganda

And yes, i see the irony of this statement

But some dudes kissing in a movie is not propaganda

You being uncomfortable with people different than you does not mean there's a conspiracy.
