Yes of course, what you say is all correct. But there used to be in Europe at least a strong alternative voice and point of view, while now the subordination to US ideology and goals is complete and unchallenged. My perception is that something new has happened. In part it's the end of the cold war and Soviet Union that has deprived Europe of an alternative ideological center; in part I think it's the rise of social media and the dominance of US internet companies that has wiped any cultural border between the US and Europe (but with information still flowing in one direction only).
