Are there any books that talk about the Americanization of the world? How everyone has lost their culture and has just taken American culture?

Consumer Culture by Baudrillard. Though, it's not specifically addressing the US, you can extrapolate from it about the US exporting that ethos -- or just Neoliberalism, in general.

Not bait, that is very British. Take British midcentury modern, replace the pastel earthtone background with white and there you have it, even got in a rounded rectangle. Lines and proportions are all there.

It's an inherently black-pilled subject but yes he is, at least I think so. You could try pic rel, it's not as bleak but from a slightly different perspective of course.

I mean I think you're arguing that this is the British substyle of global consumerism (Americanization). Sort of proves OP's point.

No, that styling predates Americas entrance into global consumerism and the British with their taste for the exotic built global consumerism, they did more to open up all those trade routes than any other country.

Not sure why a high street pharmacy is a staple of Americanisation, or even representative of an British variant.

Centrum is a multivitamin preparation, belongs to GlaxoSmithKine, which is British. It's sold all over Europe. Pretty sure this is Bongland though due to Lloyds.

Ok the tl;dw is “pharmacy” is an American term. Bongs call it a “chemist,” or they did until Americanization
The video is a Scot talking about how he hates Americanization, and he keeps on pronouncing Lloyd’s Pharmacy as “lloydsfarMASSey.”

That's the gayest fucking thing I've ever heard. The British are so desperate to feel special that they see something as innocuous as a word as an affront.
