Well in the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Italy, and more, fascist movements are exploding in popularity and the EU is actively trying to break encryption and turn itself into a surveillance state yearly. Also the fact that information is also controlled by a select few mega corporations and oligopolies are almost as common as the US.

Not to mention the UK which has already been a right wing surveillance state for years and is transitioning into a police state and arresting any dissenters constantly.

We like to pretend we are a paradise compared to the US, but we are very very rapidly taking the exact same path, just at an earlier stage.
