"Maybe my indirect reading is biased by the most prominent cultural exports of the US, or their the most vocal representatives"...
Most of the cultural exports of the US are driven by economics, i.e. what can sell to worldwide audience.
Having lived in the US and traveled extensively throughout the world, it is my opinion that the average people in most countries are much more similar than different. People are people. The people in power may have slightly different agendas and by pushing slightly different things, but that doesn't fundamentally affect the citizenry.
