My least favourites are in no particular order; Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom. Reasoning is that they have territorial claims in Antartica.

Antartica belongs to the inhabiting wildlife, no one has the right to claim a territory there.

I've visited a scant handful of countries. And you want me to pick a least favorite? Let's start by enumerating my options: US, Canada, Thailand, Mexico, Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Laos.

I guess I'll have to say Jamaica because they were pushy as hell with tourists, but not in a scary way. I don't have anything bad to say about my experiences in any of the rest. Canada gets too cold in the winter, but not while I was there. I could occasionally hear gunfire in the distance from the resort in Mexico, but it was never worrisome—I can sometimes hear a gun range from my house. That's it. I'm pretty easy to please, I guess.

I have no particular dislike for any country. I just don't like some people I know personally or whose actions are known to me.

All countries are shit. Fuck borders. Let's just be earthlings and chill the fuck out.

I hate America, because that's where I'm from and what I know the most about. If I lived in your country, I'd hate it more.

None.

Countries don't have a unique identity I could like or dislike as a whole.

They can vary widely from region to region, city to city, block to block, street to street... heck even person to person. I may not like some people, or at worst some region because of this or that reason but that is all.

What exactly would you call a federal government?

Like, you're taking it as "people from a country" and trying to be high and mighty about it. When literally no one else is having that conversation...

What exactly would you call a federal government?

I would call it a (federal) government, not a country.
How would you call it?

I more than disagree with what our government is doing in my country (and how they are doing it), do you think I should dislike all the people living in it, and all the places of that country because of me disliking a bunch of politicians and their politics? I don't.

Like, you’re taking it as “people from a country” and trying to be high and mighty about it. When literally no one else is having that conversation…

Like, do you really think it's healthy to only answer what people are expecting?

and trying to be high and mighty about it.

In our days and age of constant hastily proclaimed condemnations, I can appreciate you taking the time to better know me before expressing your informed opinion on my person.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why not think of "them" as "people from another country"? That is what they actually are - just people but from another country.

Either you meant to reply to the other person or you completely misunderstood my comment....

Demacia from Runeterra. They claim to be morally right and superior whilst also doing eugenics. Bloody bastards.
