A word of clarification. A lot of people think "insert any national entity and any government" represents the "people."
We lived as legal residents in Germany for decades, and I have worked and lived in twelve countries for extended periods. I find lovely people and some less than lovely and only a small percentage of jackasses wherever. We now retired and back in the state. More lovely people and some less than lovely and only a small percentage of jackasses, as elsewhere. For this, I reject the "evil" tag laid on any people, per se.
Our "Vietnamese" family have been back "home" quite a number of times, but still come back to their "new" home. Just as I called a number of places "home" and then went home again. You might too. Everywhere I have traveled and worked, I have found such beauty in the differences and similarities that I think the world and its people have much to offer.
Well said.
