McDonalds restaurants can be found in 118 countries. Even in Gibraltar and Guam! And, of course, there are tons of other American companies located around the world. Can you spell: homogeneous?
When everyone is eating the same burger and talking on the same phone and driving the same car … they might start thinking alike. They might look to America as the Great Fatherland, where we must all head to on pilgrimage, obey and bow down to, and, ultimately, call god.
This is the way the capitalist world works. Everybody is the same. If it doesn’t have American approval, it shall not stand! (By Frodo!)
So whatever cultural things a country has that aren’t “American”, they must go away. Does your culture have some lovely dance or outfit or sport? Camel jockeys at the Kentucky Derby? Fuck that shit! (Unless McDonalds can slap its logo on the camel’s ass as it runs.) Everything must become one to make peace and conformity, and that way, the nearest Walmart will have police to knock on your door if you dare shop locally, even if the price is cheaper.
Your wonderful heritage will crumble – be crumbled, self-imposed crumbling – when the corporations of America tell you what you can be, how much, and is it too much, maybe take it back a bit, nothing too ethnic in the McWorld.
And that way lies hell …
