    | I mean there is no such place as a safe or “good” nation.

    you must not know many countries then or your definition of a good country must be weird.

      name me one without a history of war, slavery, genocide, or colonialism. bonus points if its entire history has allowed gay people to exist.

        so if a country has ever been bad in its history, it’s automatically also bad now? so, as i suspected your definition of a good country is weird.

            Is there any human society that doesn’t have a history that can be traced back far enough to find war or violence?

              not that I reckon. however that fact does not mean modern nation states are cool.
