Only one modification: 5. Germany

I think if I wanted to give an honest ranking based on how absolutely decroded the vibes of a country are, it'd be:

  1. Israel
  2. All Baltic states
  3. Ukraine
  4. USA
  5. Singapore
[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

I think we could rewrite this list a couple of times and it would always feel right.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

1.USA

2.Israel

  1. UK

4.Germany

5.France

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

This is the best list in the thread

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Evil countries based on how they operate on the world stage, the attitude of their citizens, and historical context, probably

  1. USA solidly
  2. UK
  3. Israel
  4. Saudi Arabia
  5. Japan or Canada, but I’m leaning towards Canada, probably because I’m Canadian and I know about all the shitty shit we’ve done around the world and to our native population in intimate detail.

You can bump number 3 off your list, since it's a bullshit country anyway.

Now you can include japan-cool AND kkkanada !

Yeah Pissrael is just the 51st amerikkkan state

the attitude of their citizens

Israelis are at the top of this list if the sole criteria

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I honestly don't know how much worse it gets than Israel on that end. But there also are the Baltic states, where it appears that everyone who isn't a communist like our GOAT Robert Kurvitz and the rest of the Disco Elysium team is an out and proud nazi. It's illegal not to be a Nazi in the Baltic states, even! They banned victory day celebrations (Russian source, take it with the slightest pinch of salt).

Seconding my home and native land of Canada. Our history is soaked in blood.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I think that Japanese history puts it ahead. Beyond what they did in Asia outside their country, they also oppressed Japanese natives, such as the Ainu. Moreover afaik they are even more resistant to owning their own atrocities

international-community-1international-community-2 pick any 5 of these and you'd be right!

Lol you beat me to it.

And why are they all burger land?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I was going to mention some of the other international-community-1international-community-2 but it looks like they're just the US in a trenchcoat

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)
  1. China
  2. Ruzzia
  3. North Korea
  4. Iran
  5. Venezuela

This is common sense, people

~~As a red-blooded American, I feel uniquely qualified to answer this question:~~
~~1. China~~
~~2. North Korea~~

Edit: nm, that joke sounded better in my head

  1. USA
  2. UK
  3. Germany
  4. Israel (only shaves off evil points for being a minion of the west.)
  5. Saudi Arabia. What the ruling class wants Amerika’s endgoal to be. It’s telling when an explicitly fascist state loses out to the rest because it somehow has the least amount of historical baggage.

Dishonorable mentions: Canada, France, Japan,

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think the USA, then Israel, then the remaining three slots can just be shared by the remainder of the imperial core. Plus it's not actually a ranking because they're all beautiful and unique snowflakes who do their own unspeakable evils in their own unfathomably awful ways.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (3 children)

The only country I don't see listed that feels deserving of some hate is Spain. They are much better in modern times, but historically they were evil af

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's just so been like 200 years since they were a meaningful imperial power, so no one really feels the need to go after them. At some point you gotta have a statute of limitations for inactivity. Otherwise Mongolia would be up there.

Fair enough

Spain was once the closest ally of the Soviet Union in western europe tho

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

these days Spain is mostly a back-channel for siphoning Euro wealth back to the colonies

Spanish workers go make money in Germany and send it home. Latam workers go to Spain to make that German money and send it home. Nature slowly heals.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Same for Portugal. The Carnation Revolution was a huge change and afaik the only time a European colonizer just said “go on, you’re free now” to its colonies. But everything before that was :yikes-1::yikes-3:

Unfortunately my grandfather was drafted to fight in Salazar’s wars attempting to keep control of the colonies.

I'd add Singapore to the list but they're technically a city state rather than a country

I think you're referring to the US. Alternatively, you might be confused and be thinking about Palestine, which does not deserve to be on the list as it is currently under invasion from US forces.

USA, Japan, Germany, UK, and France

Just throw all the colonial powers' political class in the bin, they can knife fight it out for the right to be the last to starve.

  1. USA, no contest.
  2. UK and France
  3. Isn'treal.
  4. Australia, mostly because of the refugee stuff
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sadly a lot of countries are pretty indistinguishable from us re: refugees:/

Not that we don't deserve the spot, of course. Aussie Aussie Aussie and all that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

For the most part yeah, but Aus is the only one I know of to legislate that its borders start 50 miles inland so it can still kick out the ones who make it.

  1. USA + israel

  2. UK

  5. For me a toss-up between Canada and Australia
