Cultural relativism aside, I’m sure we can agree on “terrible” if we talk it out. I’m not asking for a “well X country is worse than Y country, so, Y country isn’t THAT bad”. I’d say for this discussion we can go as far back as 1800 for “past” as I’m currently convinced there isn’t a country with a perfect track record going back even that short a time.
Estonia is pretty decent. They’ve been on the receiving end of terrible shit and haven’t been keen on repeating that in the other direction.
North Korea hasn’t done anything terrible. If you disagree, you just need to spend some time in a re-education camp.
Glory to Arstotzka!
Thats fair lol
Thanks you, comrade.
Tiny island nations that were largely the victim of colonization by others. Trinidad and Tobago. Samoa.
Ask a Tongan why their grandparents don’t like Samoans.
OP said 1800-present. If you’re talking about the 1899 split, then that’s the colonial powers. What am I missing?
Uncontacted tribes probably haven’t done much.
How do we know? We haven’t contacted them.
They likely have warred with other tribes.
Maybe, maybe not. Would have to contact to find out 😉
Iceland or Costa Rica, maybe?
Pretty good answers, thanks!
I’ve never heard anything bad about Iceland’s government
Only govt in the world that jailed bankers, after the 2008 financial collapse. Source.
awesome
Pretty sick
Luxembourg seems to have relatively clean hands historically I think. They were occupied by Germany though in WWII
Yeah seems pretty clean, nice answer!
Antarctica
Too cold to do anything wrong.
Not a country, and does not have a sovereign government.
Woosh
I’m convinced some weird science experiments are going on up there.
Up?
Depends on which way you’re laying on the bed
Correct
No…
Country: no
Government (depending on your definition): probably
Ireland is pretty chill for the most part. Definitely not perfect though.
Yeah, definitely not perfect and have some pretty rough recent historical stuff regarding women. Not that bad though!
Yeah, the catholic church shares blame for that but the state was absolutely complicit
I’d argue that the fledgling state didn’t have much of a choice but to effectively outsource all civil services to the catholic church, considering that they couldn’t afford running it themselves.
Their only fault on their part is how it was allowed to stay that way.
But why would the state need to forcibly send unwed mothers to give birth at these sites and then in some cases involuntarily adopt out the children? None of that was necessary even if they couldn’t afford a state run system.
Heck, I think there aren’t many people who meet that criteria. You’d need some sort of vegan, who doesn’t use any tech made possible with child miners who obviously doesn’t wear sweatshop clothes and probably doesn’t live on stolen land etc…
According to the Lemmyleft the only way to be a country not doing terrible things is to not vote and plan on an eventual revolution where working classes seize the means of production from their oppressors.
In the meantime, ensure everyone lets the fascist elements run the table. Thus our consciences are clear and our morals unbesmirched.

You don’t need to post the DNC platform.
The Lemmyright is insufferable, bringing up their complaints everywhere irrelevant.
I haven’t encountered the right on lemmy yet
According to the genocidal center, the only evil in the world is opposition to genocide.
Seeing how you get downvoted for calling it out, and Optimal gets upvoted for saying genocide enablers are good… Yeah.
The fascists run the table either way. The only thing they let us do is pick whether they wear red or blue.
Facts do not bear this out
No
