Hi, I’m looking for a country whose people or government mainly support my values. I’m looking for a country that:

  • supports wildlife protection

  • supports eco-friendly things and solar/wind energy

  • supports freedom of expression and does NOT criminalize queer people, be it trans, gay, bi, pan, intersex, asexual, etc.

  • peaceful, low crime

  • community-oriented

  • equal and just

  • very friendly towards animals, filled with animal sanctuaries and no-kill shelters

  • free education and/or healthcare (preferably education and healthcare are free/government-funded)

  • high taxes are therefore fine to me

  • compassion-oriented

  • affordable food with low unhoused rates and high employment rates

    None tick all of those boxes that I’m aware of. Socialist countries like China, Cuba, and Vietnam are all imperfect even if they have a great track record of improvement, and the capitalist countries with the highest quality of life (ie, the Nordics) are all declining and depend on imperialism.

        Closer, yes, though sanctions have been particularly brutal in the context of recent weather disasters there. China lacks in areas like LGBTQIA+ rights, but is generally doing much better otherwise, same as Vietnam.

      Someone should do a poll in core countries regarding imperialism. It’s hard to know how much of it is obliviousness vs suppression vs ambivalence vs full-throated support.
