Radical Americanisation 

Share definition Flag
The spread to the rest of the world, particularly western nations, of the 'look at me' type of social behaviour perpetuated (and often glamourised) on US centrered social media. Examples can include when non US citizens use the American Constitution, FDA rulings, etc as a cornerstone for shaping their views on the internal goings on in their own countries, common crutch relied on by people many would consider 'conspiracy theorists' and others seeking validation through moral superiority.
"It's kind of sad how everyone is unfriending Ludwig" "Yes, his radical Americanisation has made him unbearable to be around. Who cares if the FDA has approved it or not? We live in Germany."
