@sh76 saidpropaganda.
Very informal metric, I know, but illuminating nonetheless.
After noticing some of these groups on my Facebook feed (yes, I'm old, sue me), I did a little counting:
Facebook groups that are called some variation of "I love USA": 12 groups of at least 100,000 members, including 8 of 230k or more, 5 of 300k or more and 2 of 500k or more.
"I love Europe" One group over 100 ...[text shortened]... ny people still consider it the shining city on the hill?
I have a theory, but I'll listen first.

@zahlanzi saidHmmmm,,the word Hollywood, twice in this thread? Are you jealous foreigners all wild about the beauty of our industries proliferating in the entire world? Your art and your chocolate candy are about the only things that we are envious of. Face it, y’all study our society all the time, and are influenced by it. Hollywood? Just the tip of the iceberg of what we have to offer in this country.
propaganda.

I just googled companies which might move in the Netherlands. Amsterdam production services, and ministry of film are two that I found,… Notice of the word, ministry, which depicts government is front center.
But, has anyone ever heard of any production company in the Netherlands. Have we ever heard of anything in the Netherlands for that matter? People all over the world know Hollywood. I rest my case.

In the Netherlands, the equivellent (although considerably smaller) would be Hilversum. And the media park there.

@sh76 saidPeople who love the USA - mainly Southern Fried Prosperity Gospelite MAGAhatters - also love to bleat about it on Boomerbook.
People who are satisfied living in Europe are not as crass.

@athousandyoung saidJust highlighting its impact on foreigners. USA impacts everything. Hey, did you see where Biden is pandering to our Latin population? Could this be why he opened the border for them to come in?
Are you really bragging about California's accomplishments?

@shallow-blue saidShallow says USA citizens are crass. That, Euroeans are not. So noted, whatever that means. Has he ever watched an American movie?

But, you KNOW Hollywood. Makes my point.

@wildgrass saidI don't think so.
Isn't it just where Facebook users are from?
I have no data on it, as it doesn't seem to be easily collectible, but if you read the posts on those groups, you'll see that the vast majority seem to come from non-Americans.
