    Yes Hail everything! Hail Kim! Hail Saudi-Arabia! I love those states! They do nothing wrong, they are the best places on earth! Or what?

        Well, apparently for you nothing is a regime, and all countries are the same in everything?

          All countries have different cultures, history, material conditions, and forms of governance that result from that. Westerners portraying their system as the sole legitimate form of governance amounts to nothing more than modern-day marketing for colonialism, serving as a pretext for Western invasions and global atrocities masquerading as benevolent civilizing missions. The fact that you think that the regime you live under is somehow special shows a profound lack of cognitive development on your part.

            I can at least objectively compare countries and governments. And in those, quality of life is objectively worse than that in Europe. Not because of the people, but the governments and systems in place. And that is my point, the countries that you, and apparently the US, listed are just some of the many, many countries that are untrustworthy in themselves - as political body to interact with. And for most things, especially to do with cyber security and privacy, I also include the USA and partly even Germany and the rest of the EU due to recent political motivations towards mass surveillance. Yet, it’s better to live in than those countries.

                What has wealth do to with everything? Thinking money has anything to do with happiness is the stupidest take I’ve seen in day. Not months because there’s still the AfD.

                Also, everything is built on exploitation. And again, I’m not saying our government and system is good, it’s just not as shit as others who surveil and execute their citizens.

                  Once again you honor us with a reductive argument based on a soundbite you heard and didn’t spend any time actually thinking about. The reality is that wealth beyond a certain point stops making people happy https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/does-more-money-correlate-greater-happiness-Penn-Princeton-research

                  Also, everything is not built on exploitation. Only an utter ignoramus brainwashed by capitalism would believe that.

                    So if your whole live is surveiled, you are on the brink of being executed if you are different, you work 9 to 9, you are then happy because you are slightly more wealthy and can do … well what? Pay Xi to be more free? Bribe the Maktoum? Or just do drugs to not suicide?

                    Which countries are actually free and not build on exploitation then, excluding the arctis?
