Are you not sick and tired of a colonial propaganda of attributing everything to the west.
I pity people who actually believe Renaissance or Industrial revolution was something that happened overnight.
Even as the "liberal" elite and evangelists try to force their agenda on the rest of the world, their own homesteads are turning more dharmic.
They are verses that specify that one must perform ones caste duties ("dharma") no matter what even if you are better at other things. Why on earth would United states turn dharmic?
You should perhaps watch some videos of what actual Hindu gurus say.
Westerners misusing Indian terms to suit their own desires should be pushed back on. It sometimes seems like a deliberate strategy to confuse and therefore hide the philosophy conveyed by those terms even though much of that philosophy is universal and nonsecular.
Also, in reading threads on this forum over the years, it is quite clear that many fall into the classic trap of confusing ethnicity with religion. Leaders that call for extremist measures are usually promoting the interests of some subset of their community - not promoting the ideals called for by their religion - but many of their followers don't understand religion well enough to realize that. This is just as applicable to the west as it is to other places.
I am watching videos of what actual hindu gurus are saying and quoting hindu texts

Right from the horses mouth. Quoting prabhupada.

More knowledge from Prabhupada. Click on the video to hear him explain clearly.
"The word dharma is used. Dharma means occupational duty. Dharma does not mean some religious sentiment. No. Natural division and the occupational duty."
Mixing of varna is deleterious to society.

Where do you find a fault in this?
The greatest sages and kings are famouly NOT born into families of priests or nobility.
"The shudras are the only section of society allowed to accept another’s employment"
As I am an employee now, as are many of my brahmin friends, are we shudras now? If I start teaching the holy books, do I become a brahmin?
What the hell does duties according to ones nature mean? Who decides ones "nature"? A single person can be an employee, warrior, priest or businessman. What is the point of forcing people into categories?
What does it mean to perform your caste duties and nothing else, even if I am better at something else? How does that jive with "duties according to ines nature". If I am an employee, can't I have a side business.
Why is there so much worry about marriage across caste lines? Why fret about varna sankara? It is obvious that you get your caste by birth, not by your acts. If you perform your caste duties without asking questions you get an upgrade to a higher caste in the next birth. Ultimately, becoming a brahman. You can cross check with any guru in a temple you like, instead of arguing with me.
Examples of shudras becoming brahmins are pre-bhagavata gita. After the gita, such a caste transition is only possible via the cycle of death and rebirth.
Yes that is right, if you become a teacher, lawyer, guru or advisor, you become a brahmin as intended. You need to be guided by the guidelines meant for a brahmin, do not be driven by wealth or power or accumulation of land.
Birth based assignment of varna has always been debated as wrong interpretation most famously in the Mahabaratha.
Unfortunately, it is human nature to assign birth based privileges. Most famously by projecting Rahul Gandhi as the only viable opposition leader, by birth privileges.
Ironic considering Modi the son of a tea seller is demonised.
Your obsession with dead people and their lies, does not apply to a living tradition like Hinduism.
Btw, 2 of the gurus I cited are alive.
And a breakthrough or political condition that favors a change.
You are seeing that today with China and the US.
