Nitpicking here but they said 'culture particularly in the US' and since the us is the hegemon, for now, their point is cogent.
This is implicitly orientalist thinking. There is no simple cultural binary between east and west.
Modern Finland is politically and economically part of the west, this is true. The current president Stubb is basically a lab-synthesized neoliberal. But there still exist elements of a culture which I wouldn’t call eastern per se, but which originate from before the modern era and are contrary to the puritanical ways of the US.
