The bottom line is: the tolerance policies make the modern society more productive (=more goods and services / money / PROFIT!!!!).
The American government is a true MASTER of propaganda. They just take it to entirely new levels, and they have managed to convince millions of people who have never set foot in America to support their agenda and dream about being American. Not to mention their own population. I hear they get the kids to "pledge allegiance" to the US flag in the schools, every morning and sing the national antem and quote various pieces of legislation. And we have so many examples even in this forum, of Americans joining and starting to rant about the greatness of the American constitution and other things. With such hard indoctrination about how free and democratic and great their country is, no wonder most are unable to snap out of it. I think only China comes close. Apparently everyone in Hong kong (who were previously scared of China) are now becoming pro-China.
