In fairness, American political culture does leak and infect the rest of the English-speaking cultural sphere, so we do have an interest in it.

For example, when Americans went nuts and tried to remove/deface historical statues, here in Finland local Leftist party's youth group suggested removing a statue of Mannerheim. Mannerheim was a war leader during the Finnish Civil War and led the Finnish defense against Russia during WW2.

He's literally one of the primary reasons those Leftist youth organization chucklefucks' parents didn't grow up behind the Iron Curtain, yet they wanted his statue removed. They definitely got the idea from the US.
