The world is getting more homogeneous because American mass media coevolved with consumer taste for a long time, and when people in poorer countries got access it was hyper-optimized to be way better than local stuff.

As a result, cultural norms got a lot closer to American norms, really fast. But that reduction in cultural diversity means we’re globally vulnerable to the same bad ideas.
