People, most non-educated people, or desperate people, are dreamers.

The world had a couple of billion of such people.

They look for a solution for their problems faraway from where they are.

The US has captured the imagination of those millions of people and they have taken the US thing com gusto.

That is why we had many trying to escape communism. But we know only a few : a ballerina, a tennis champion, a top scientist.

Those who have no chance to escape dreamt. And adopted the US things, rights for this and rights for that.

Nothing wrong with people adopting foreign things. I adopted a lot. And I am grateful for what other people handed over to me free of charge.

I used to say to my friends -who disliked Germans- I've been taking from the Germans the best what they have and disregarding everything else.

The ignorant masses the world over take what is easy to adopt.
Thus the importation of the social: women's rights, gay rights, near unlimited free speech.
