Okay, even said; that really doesn't apply at all. Here's why:

Quote:

"Powerful and continuing nationalism"


There is too much dissent and apathy on this subject for it to be remotely relevant. Most US citizens don't care about their country beyond what it can give them for free.

Quote:

"Disdain for human rights"


That's why we're one of the countries that routinely tortures and kills its own citizens for protesting the government, and why social services are non-existent. We also don't provide any type of free medical services. We're pretty much the United Syria of America.

Quote:

"Identification of enemies as a unifying cause"


This applies to many countries, not just us. I fail to see the reasoning here. It's easier to get the populace behind an idea than it is to get them behind a set of ideas that describe a variety of situations and people.

Quote:

"Supremacy of the military"


The military answers to the people, not vice versa. Only in rare exceptions does this not apply, e.g. Area 51 and other top-secret bases.

Quote:

"Rampant sexism"


Like Europe is enlightened on that subject? You people are practically where this shit started.

Quote:

"Controlled mass media"


By whom? Businessmen? That's new!

Quote:

"Obsession with national security"


I'd wager that less than half of our populace gives a thought to national security on a weekly, if not monthly basis. There are other things people care about more, such as: food, fucking, sleeping, etc.

Quote:

"Religion and government intertwined"


See: ACLU; also see: judicial activism against religion in government.

Quote:

"Corporate power protected"


By what? Congress? Osamabama? Corporations get a lot of free rides but they aren't "protected" by any means. See: AT&T, Microsoft, etc.

Quote:

"Labor power suppressed"


Suppressing themselves? Sure. We'll do that. Ask General Motors what they think of labor power and you'll get an idea of why labor, at least in the automotive sector, is suppressed. Fuckwits nearly destroyed their respective industry.

Quote:

"Disdain for the intellectual and the arts"


Plenty of "intellectuals" have issues with other "intellectuals" and the "arts". Whose definition are we going with here? Some obscure image whose definition of "intellectual" and "arts" is nebulous at best?

Quote:

"Obsession with crime and punishment"


Well, yeah. Don't do that shit if you don't want to go to jail.

Quote:

"Rampant cronyism and corruption"


Found in any government. Tada!

Quote:

"Fraudulent elections"


Are we referring to the attempt of Al Gore to steal the election from G.W. Bush by excessively litigating over "hanging chads" and "voter intent" based on said chads, dimples, etc in voting cards? Or are we referring to the rampant ignorance of the US population (and the world, it seems) on how the government's elections have worked for the past 200 years and more?

The image is propaganda. Nothing to see here.
