Short thread - America's soft power. So lately we've seen a significant uptick in attacks against American cultural institutions such /1
as the NFL, MLB, 'Hollywood', etc. These org/institutions are part of America's ambit of 'soft power'. These attacks are coming /2
primarily from Trump/alt-right supporters. You may ask what is 'American Soft Power'? Simply put it's America's cultural and its /3
influence around the world. Many around the world look up to, enjoy, and try to emulate American movie, sports, and political stars. /4
In many ways, America's soft power had more influence and persuasive abilities then it's military power. Now you ask, who would /5
gain by undermining and discrediting these institutions? Yes, you guessed it, Russia/China. Why? By discrediting these orgs /6
you potentially undermine American culture abroad. This means less American influence. Why does RU/China control their populace's /7
access to the internet? They realize America and the Western soft power could literally threaten their legitimacy. /end
