Only decent country in Europe change my mind.
only colonized country in Europe is the best country in Europe. imagine my shock
what’s y’all’s pick for second best European country?
Death to America
I would say the Netherlands but 1 month out of the year its a Justin Trudeau costume party and that doesn’t fly
Netherlands is a racist shithole idk how anyone can think it’s the second best Euro country except for reasons like “they have good rail / bike infrastructure”. Just off the top of my head the Scandinavian countries are “better” by pretty much every measure that matters, Iceland is better, Portugal in some ways, and uhhhhhhhhhh uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Also everyone in the Netherlands snitches on each other (anonymous reporting on you by your neighbors if you’re on state welfare and you do some undeclared work is very common) and everyone is very egocentric and apathetic with regards to other people’s wellbeing and politics. Lastly, the rules are holy and deemed to be unchangeable, even if you’re a politician whose whole job it is to change rules and laws constantly.
As Marx supposedly said, the Netherlands will never have a revolution, because you’re not allowed to walk on the grass. (walking on the grass is actually allowed in nearly all places, but it’s a fun metaphor to highlight how strictly the Dutch follow the rules)
Infrastructure is fantastic and well fare / social security is still quite decent despite decades of austerity, but other than that, fuck my country.
I was thinking Portugal too but they were knee deep in imperialism early on. They eventually lost out but still.
Belarus
Anti-imperialist, lowest inequality on Earth, do not reject their socialist origins and policies via reaction like all other post-Soviet nations. They are certainly the best European nation, even ahead of Ireland which is now a colonized neoliberal tax haven
Feds are known for their love of Belarus
A half-remaining ex-Soviet state with an anti-imperialist posture is better than every European nation, who are all imperialist racists
