No offense, but I do not agree with that. The degree of indoctrination with propaganda is very strong within the USA, and I would even go so far as to say that it's quite a lot more severe than the indoctrination with the western worldview in Europe.
Everywhere you look in the USA, from the education system over the consumerism embedded in US American culture to the mainstream news, you can clearly discern an insular culture of largely uninformed, badly informed or grossly misinformed people. The prejudices about socialism/Marxism only attest to that. Furthermore, nowhere in the world do people gratuitously file lawsuits against one another as they do in the USA, just as that the percentage of people under psychiatric counseling is much higher in the USA than in any other nation.
I do not mean to offend any of our US American members, and I happen to have many US American friends, but in my personal opinion — and it's not just my opinion, because many people here in Europe have already said the same thing — US American culture is very childlike, and at most at the pubescent level.
The average — emphasis on the word "average" — US American is emotionally and spiritually immature, ego-driven, materialistic (and even hedonistic), has a cocky sense of false superiority over the rest of the civilized world, and a bizarre preoccupation with all things ado with sexuality, ranging from the sexual revolution of the 1960s, over sexual orientation and sexual identity, all the way up to the machismo by which the USA as a nation waves its willy at other countries.
So, again in my personal opinion, I don't think that the average US American would necessarily pick the right choices even if those choices were available to them. Hell, even the people in Western Europe can't make the right choices, and — not to put Europe on a pedestal, but — they come from a much richer cultural background and have less systematic indoctrination going on.
Just my two cents, for whatever they're worth.
