ah I see we're dealing with sophisticated and nuanced racism here
Or do you mean because of the colors?
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?
talking to children whose brains haven't fully developed yet can be exhausting
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.

Not only are you wrong, but you also omit the important fact that the standard of living in Europe is built on brutal exploitation of the people in the Global South being the clown that you are.
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.
The reason you believe all this nonsense is because you’ve uncritically accepted the propaganda that Western governments and Western corporate media have been flooding you with your entire life.
I try to point people toward developing real media literacy.
Adorable you think that your whole life isn't surveiled in the west. Meanwhile, vast majority of people in China aren't working 9 to 9, and in fact are happy as pretty much every survey on China shows. Maybe spent some time actually learning about China instead of making a clown of yourself in public?
You sweet summer child.
you keep on believing that, it's adorable
