The issue with Western cultures is that all civilized people who want a better life decide they don't want to go through the hardwork, blood, sweat and wars that Western countries had to fight in order to secure their destiny of liberty and wealth.
USA fought off the British to secure their freedom.
Canada fought under the British in WW1 to secure their independence at Vimy Ridge, the Somme and other battefields.
France fought the Monarchy to over-throw their Monarchic autocracy.
The British fought to have a Parliament and take power from the Kingdom of England.
The Germans fought to unite and confederate under a German empire, then kept fighting to re-establish different governments after the Empire didn't quite pan out, but hey, they eventually got it right...-ish.
My point is not that Turkey sucks, or that all these civilizations suck, it's just that clearly they aren't organizing and putting in the effort to reach the point of enlightenment that early classical liberal philosophers had to put in motion the ground works for a remarkable governmental foundation found within the United States and other countries.
People rather leave their ass-backwards country to flee to a better one than to actually educate and inform the people around them to try and have a quiet revolution of their own, or proceed to bring down the corrupt tyranny that currently rules over them.
We can take the piss out of the U.S. all we want, but they're the only ones who have actively fought for democratic freedoms and Western values in other countries and mount efforts to coup countries held firmly by the iron fists of dictators.
