I don't know if this comment is out of place, but it makes me realise the 'Americanisation' of the world (whenever that takes place) is not only the exporting of 'democracy', but also USA-style surveillance (and also American prudish cultural values - see Facebook as the instrument of that). It makes me realise that on some level, it's great we see countries who refuse to bow down to such 'americanisation'. I'm certainly not advocating for countries having despotism and corruption in their own right, but on some level, we need diversity.
