Thats what it is about, even if it sounds like cliché - it is no cliché, but socialist ideology.

The EU does exactly the same in Europe, by trying to delete regional differences more and more, habits and characteristics, and demanding that all regions shall run by the same rules, no matter whether said rules make sense in all regions. But the similarity between people on the Balkan and in the Baltic are not going much beyond phonetic similarities.

What is done in the US and the EU, compares to what Stalin did in the Soviet Union, and Tito in Yugoslavia: deleting ethnic and national characteristics of people, and replacing them with the monocultural homo sovieticus, or the Yugoslav uni-identity man.

See how they ended, learn from it. Conflict, hostility, war. Thats what happens when you force together what does not match, and deny people the right to live by their own identity feeling.

Admitted, that is more important for Europe than the Us, since the US is basing on a totally different historic path of origin, being founded not by ethnic and national identity, but migration in the first. Still, the US has since long started to copy EU ways of thinking, and has turned socialist to a degree one would not have imagined possible just some decades ago.

The destruction of the institution of "family" also plays a role here.
