I find the US, the UK, China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Israel all absolutely horrific in different but often surprisingly similar ways. Europe, Japan, and a few smaller nations less so - moderately, but not trivially.

There are superficial differences in the tribal totems and rhetorical promises used to promote conformity, and in the mechanics of manipulation and repression.

Beneath that, the dynamics are very similar.

Life can be quite pleasant in any of the above if you're upper-middle class.

If you're on the wrong side of any of these regimes and on the receiving end of institutionalised government violence, it really isn't.
