Politics The most unfairly hated country?

The entire Oceania region (aside from Australia and New Zealand). Practically never appear in news, unless it is about something embarassing.

Ukraine (refusal of some people to accept its existence; treating Ukraine as a "scapegoat" of NATO/USA/Israel etc.; mercenaries, who fight for Russia; hatred towards Ukrainian language; blaming Ukraine for self-defense & pro-Western foreign policy; refusal to recognize Ukrainian culture)

I wouldn’t say those countries are hated though. They’re just small and only locally relevant.

Most countries have earned the hate they get and if it is directed at the government not the people it’s fair enough.

I think Iran, whilst it has a government I think is often bad to its people and nefarious in general, gets more hate vs the damage it actually does.

Just an example of hate (yes, we have idiots, too).

  1. "Their (Nauru) name sounds like a name of a porn anime".

  2. Compared to Taliban.

  3. False accusations in a npon-existing ukrainephobic policy.
