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

Well, Merz is a rich right wing politician most Germans didn’t vote for who is fearmongering to pin it on the poors, disabled people and foreigners, instead of the rich ruling class he’s actually part of.
That guy voted against parts of legislature which made rape within a marriage illegal (especially an “oopsie don’t want to press charges” clause) in the 90s. Women are organising a strike against him and similar people on the 9th of March 2026. He made some remarks on the cityscape being ugly, insinuating he wants to eradicate foreigners and homeless people to make the cities look nicer. Just some of his “achievements” to undermine my opinion:
I’d never trust anything this snake spits out before verifying with at least ten different sources, even if he’s telling me water is wet.
This is not about the Right ruling Germany. It’s about the rich elites. And again, Merz is not representing a majority of the country.
Germany isn’t ruled by the majority, but by capitalists, same as the rest of the west. Merz directly stating that they are cutting welfare and implementing austerity is because imperialism is decaying, and the capitalists can’t give out some of their spoils as bribes any longer. The solution is socialism, not trying to keep imperialism going strong.
No, actually Merz is just fearmongering. They have the money to solve lots of issues in education and healthcare, but choose to spend it elsewhere (on war and tax cuts).
The German economy is doing great compared to how it should’ve tanked under rampant mismanagement in most companies, it’s actually just rich people, inequality, incompetence and bureaucracy standing in the way of the welfare state.
But surely you know more about Germany than me, I’m just a local lobbyist, not a federal one 😅
One thing you actually got right: the solution is socialism (not communism, that never worked so far, maybe in a few hundred years). We need to tax the rich until there are no rich people left, only wealthy ones.
Lol
Thank you for this meaningful and insightful contribution! 😊
