Can we stop with the "many other countries" thing and just say Western Europe? We all know you're not referring to India.
you mean excluded literal autocratic dictatorships?
that seems implied
For that matter, even "Western Europe" covers a lot. This argument tends to rest on the overall better social safety net policies of those countries. When it comes to gay marriage, trans rights, abortion, or even racism, many of those western European countries don't survive the comparison looking quite so rosy.
