The "truth" you see is the designed outcome of soft diplomacy through the export of US culture via movies, television and the internet.

I know lots of non-US folk who love the values and opportunities they experience in America. But I also know lots of others who don't.

I see my own country adopting more and more aspects from America: individualism over community, the excessive consumerism, the Starbuck-ification of every facet of our lives, that I think are more harmful than beneficial.
