Last year, a medi outlet from the netherlands asked people for their thoughts on cancel culture. The video collected almost 200 thousand views before it was taken down by the journalist. This kind of thing would have been unthinkable a few years ago in the netherland,. And so my general claim here is that we used to export culture, as you said, we exported blue jeans and elvis and hollywood movies. And now we're exporting luxery beliefs. We're exporting cancel culture. It's really, to me, i think it's not a good export. What we used toExport was better. To see the kinds of influence that we're having now is a pretty disappointing thing
