🇮🇱: Worst country in the world bar none; gleefully carrying out a brutal genocide 90% funded by US tax dollars after being the victims of one less than a century ago. THE reason for a century of war in the Middle East.
🇺🇸: too many crimes to list (including being under complete control of the AIPAC).
🇬🇧: genocide, repatriating Holocaust victims to Palestine otherwise known as the Nakba. Just as guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity as the US since the end of WWII.
🇦🇺: widespread corruption/genocide support
🇩🇪: supporting 🇮🇱 after being the perpetrators of their own genocide.
I down voted op because it feels like he’s doing the classic bully maneuver where you seemingly either agree with this post, or he’s implied he’ll call you part of the hive Mind or whatever.
Also, personally, I don’t believe op genuinely cares about the answers.
Probably Muricans offended at the healthy dose of reality.
I just had to start this thread after seeing the other one. Honestly, I purposely put it right next to the other one on world because I felt like they needed to hear it more than the less brainwashed .ml version of asklemmy. It’s very telling to see how many people actively, aggressively insist on burying their heads in the sand on lemmy.world. I’d be shocked if this post doesn’t eventually get taken down.
I agree, the ranking is not great. China definitely needs to be on the list, and it needs to be up high, together with Russia, Belarus, North Korea, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Iran. Israel should remain No. 1 though.
You’re clearly a citizen of the most propagandized population in the world, the US.
Thank you for standing up and demonstrating exactly how propagandized American citizens are. It’s as if you live on a different planet with a couple of these.
Afghanistan is a US puppet-government since Hamid Karzai was installed (or as lennybird might say “democratically elected”). 😹
North Korea is an admittedly awful dictator-run country that I might have mentioned but decided not to because their situation is a direct result of US/NATO meddling and embargoes. I’ve been critical of them in the past but someone put it this way to me: Starve a nation and see how desperate they get. They certainly aren’t good but I’d call them victims of meddling by the rest of the world than pointing my finger at them as EVIL.
China is 50-50 for me. I’m anti-authoritarian. So, I dislike that nation pretty strongly. I will say this though that they have over the great satan the US: No one is homeless, no one struggles to pay for medical expenses, no one goes hungry, they’re doing something about the environment, the beat the shit out of the US for trains, etc, etc. The Uyghurs thing is something that has been alleged but not sufficiently proven. I’ve only heard it from the same people that said “Iraq has weapons of mass destruction” so you’ll have to provide better evidence than citing some unfounded CIA hit-piece. I’d be happy to correct myself though if you can provide some evidence of that. I’m no hexbear China supporter but they’re far from the most evil country, IMO.
Be honest, Lennybird. Did you not recognize the Saudi flag?
They were on my list. I know Americans don’t study geography so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. Weirdly, I even mentioned specifically that they chopped up Jamal Khashoggi and you STILL didn’t make the connection. You have an excuse though. America has a terrible school system so you can’t be blamed for being ignorant. Alabama right?
The other most richly comical thing about pompous Americans is that they love to pretend that some foreign nation would brother operating hundreds of LEMMY accounts. It’s usually Russia or China, though. So congrats on being a tad more creative as a gullible sheep terminally infected with CIA brain-worms.
Oh I’ll be honest: I’m just chuckling at your presumptuous nonsense, speculating so desperately over what I do or do not know. Classic over-confidence and arrogance shrouded as confidence derived from intellect. You see it all the time with people trying to project something greater than they are in anonymity.
No, quite obviously I was was referencing the comparative order by which you place Israel higher than Saudi Arabia. That, for anyone with a reading-level above the 8th grade I surmise would grasp pretty easily. Naturally, the selective nature of your response and choice to forego the defense of Israel probably led you to realize that the likes of Middle East states ranging from Saudi Arabia to Syria have both atrocious human rights records and civilian death tolls by their own right. So color me intrigued. Not to say that I think Israel is a utopia… But let’s not forget the prompt here: favorite / least favorite countries… And in that respect, the vast majority of the Israeli citizenry actually detests Netanyahu; and at least the Israeli civilians have some semblance of freedom, unlike the tyrants of Syria, Saudi Arabia, China, Russia, etc. etc. So color me amused how you try to frame this so desperately in this anti-Western rhetoric that is so patently… Primitive. Pardon me for going low, but I have to say that when you try so desperately to sow classic anti-American rhetoric about education when… You know, we’re the leader of higher education in the entire world, and I’m willing to bet that whatever nation you hail from — and conveniently neglect to mention — we outperform both in education attainment and academic achievement. (And say, wait a minute… The device you’re writing to me on is all thanks to American innovation and invention. You’re welcome.)
Please, try again.
And when you muster up the courage, do let me know the utopian nation from where you reside.

🇸🇦: dictatorship
🇶🇦: dictatorship
🇹🇷: dictatorship
🇷🇺: dictatorship
🇰🇾: tax haven
🇵🇦: tax haven
That is the most equal opportunity answer here.
Thanks for giving the correct answers to the rest of the class.
No problem.
Lennybird can’t handle the truth!
😹
Not sure why so many people are downvoting

Idk… Placing Israel as worse than Afghanistan, North Korea, Saudi Arabia especially when considering Yemen seems questionable.
No China considering Tiananmen, Tibet, Uyghurs, sweatshops, brutal suppression of citizens? Also suss.
No one ever said that this was a complete list of all shitty countries in the world.
Nobody said it had to be but even of the countries listed and the low-hanging fruit, their order is utterly shit.

Hahahahahahah, thanks for the laugh. This doesn’t even warrant a rebuke. I rest my case.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think the same thing about you. Turn on a VPN and read some real journalism, propagandized American exceptionalist.
Yikes. Yeah… I can only imagine what wonderful utopia you hail from.
Considering you sidestepped Saudi Arabia it makes me wonder…

Edit: I’m betting money it’s China. Are you even allowed to say Tiananmen Square Protest and Massacre? Are you even allowed to visit this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre — copy and paste the 4th paragraph to confirm!
