Hi, I’m looking for a country whose people or government mainly support my values. I’m looking for a country that:
-
supports wildlife protection
-
supports eco-friendly things and solar/wind energy
-
supports freedom of expression and does NOT criminalize queer people, be it trans, gay, bi, pan, intersex, asexual, etc.
-
peaceful, low crime
-
community-oriented
-
equal and just
-
very friendly towards animals, filled with animal sanctuaries and no-kill shelters
-
free education and/or healthcare (preferably education and healthcare are free/government-funded)
-
high taxes are therefore fine to me
-
compassion-oriented
-
affordable food with low unhoused rates and high employment rates
“equal and just”, “low-crime”
You can be equal and just within a country and imperialist outside of the country. I’d say there’s a huge difference between inner and outer politics and policies.
The amount of crime also depends on what the country sees as a crime. Since Germany likes to not prosecute tax evaders if they do it with millions of Euros, and lots of Germans are victims of scams and fraud, I’d say crime there is bad in terms of monetary crime.
In contrast to that, physical harm is more rare than financial harm in German crime, so I’d say if you value not being financially sucked dry by the rich go somewhere else, but if you mostly value your physical safety and health and don’t care if you’re fleeced by the super rich Germany is pretty good.
but OP didn’t specify that they only care about low-“interior”-crime, so what are you talking about then? “interior”, physical crime might be your first thought when you read those words, but OP is very obviously concerned with the overall progressive & ethical situation of the country that they move to, so while the distinctions that you’re drawing are real and could be relevant in some context, they definitely aren’t in this thread.
