Remember Rule 1 people.
Remember rule 1, people! We can’t have any truth leaking into our aggressively-censored (lemmy.world) echo-chamber that so closely resembles the smug Reddit hive-mind that it’s hard to discern between the two!
It's 4 days late, but I'll wade in.
It's possible to express an opinion without being an asshole about it. That's what Rule 1 is about. Not censorship.
I don't like (factual) Y about country X. <- Doesn't breach Rule 1.
The people in country X are all shit stains <- Breaches Rule 1.
Diplomatic honesty is fine (at least with me).
What isn't fine are:- Personal attacks,
- Doxxing, trolling, sealioning,
- attacks on whole groups of people because of:
- stereotypical characteristics.
- ingroup-outgroup bias,
- readily disprovable dis/misinformation.
In summary, respectful debate is welcome. Nastiness is not.
All countries are shit. Fuck borders. Let's just be earthlings and chill the fuck out.
That’s what I wish for. But the Monkey’s Paw says the entire earth is now governed by Kim Jong Un.
Yes, let's be total normal people from planet earth.
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.
That doesn't seem very
demuremindfulyesman of you.“Do you hate the country you’re from?”
Demacia from Runeterra. They claim to be morally right and superior whilst also doing eugenics. Bloody bastards.
Spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin
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.
I wonder what the farthest you can be from a Walmart and an Applebee's in any populated USA area.

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, 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.
This thread will either be all american hate or super racist, there's no in between
Probably the ones who oppress their own people, wage war, manufacture weapons and death, spread terrorism... I'm not singling out any specific one. It's difficult to compare which atrocity is the worst and choose a winner.
Great answer. You managed to put it in a way that can’t possibly offend while also being honest.✊
Countries I like in no particular order: Canada, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Denmark, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Malta, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, New Zealand
Good choices, especially for Taiwan.
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.
Why is this posted twice by two users on two instances? OP I think you exposed your alt.
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.
Not that I'm not famous for saying it already (and I should clarify I hold these sentiments for national governments and the cultures, not civilian individuals), but the British ranks on top for their overreach, if not also Japan and Russia for the weight their cultures put on people.
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'm not well-traveled internationally. Outside of America I've only ever been to Costa Rica, which was a great experience. I'd like to visit Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Germany, and Canada.
Outside of the obvious despotic and corrupt nations, I've watched enough Amazing Race to know that, sorry, I'll never go to India.
