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.

    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.
