No country is even close to perfect, but I can’t think of any other developed country where climate change is successfully becoming a de facto illegal topic in schools, bodily autonomy laws being set back decades, etc.
I don’t find “nowhere is perfectly civilised, so really we’re not that different” to be a particularly helpful stance to take when we see bs like this.

You’re letting perfect be the enemy of good here.
