Perhaps, but for all their complaints about the dumb hick southerner "Speak American, it's the only language I understand" type, they certainly spend an inordinate amount of time making sure everyone in foreign countries speak American issues and American sensibilities (or Cali ones, at the least).
They don't see it as American issues, they see them as Universal issues. This is the Rousseauian & Leftist concept of a Universal Man that accepts their most recent assertion of a meta-narrative.
This is why it's not really American cultural imperialism. It's not American culture, it's not even pushed by people who see themselves as Americans. They see themselves as "Global Citizens", aka: Socialists espousing Globalism (as a cultural institution) promoting the concept of a Universal Man with universal issues.
That is the cultural imperialism of Globalism. If it were an American based culture it wouldn't explicitly hate America. It's far more revolutionary than that. It's Rousseauian.
It's more of a 'Sweden YES!' or something. Definitely not a very 'MURRCA' type of people.

These are not American sensibilities, they aren't even American issues. These are Universal issues and America just happens to be a topical setting. This is why Barbados has had Black Lives Matter protests.

Only McDonald's homogenizes culture. Having a Golden Dragon in every city never does.
It is very America. "Look, world. Our ideology is right and you are all wrong. You don't like it? I don't care. You WILL obey and follow us."
