Considering how many places are actively going to sh*t in the world right now, I'm not surprised that people have grown weary of keeping track of which are the 'bad' countries we're supposed to dislike, at the same time, thanks to globalized work and social media, people have realized that people are people everywhere, and governments are varying degrees of shitty in every country, with people even in the supposedly more democratic ones feeling powerless in affecting how they are governed.

I know a ton of Russian emigrees, and basically nobody gives them grief (until some of them start talking politics).
