Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

"stop importing American culture" - you blame the consumer here no?
"diverse" so long as you like the ubiquitous: hamburgers, Taylor swift, marvel movies. Increasing American cultural dominance is the opposite of diversity.
At some point to become a consumer your money and/or attention is voluntarily given to A Thing. That’s a choice. But with internet cookbooks, bandcamp, IMDb, CrunchyRoll, etc etc you have the ability to seek out precisely what interests you, with the only burden being discovery. Monoculture died with the internet, you being on Lenny is a testament to that.
My sides.
Right, pretty funny that this is parroted so thoughtlesly. I mean i see where it comes from but also... so obviously false.
