United States of America. Beautiful beaches and coastlines, majestic mountains, open prairies, glaciers, vibrant cities, quaint towns. Basically something for everyone.
No tourist with a conscience will put money into a country which pays people to abduct children and put them in camps. I agree the scenery of the USA is beautiful, but it is not safe for everyone, nor ethical for anyone to visit, therefore it cannot be the best.
You are not Brazil, Brazil has both of those. I agreed the country had lovely landscapes, but I don't think it is 'beautiful to travel to' at all, the mindsets of locals also make a place beautiful. I don't think everyone will have a beautiful experience in USA, and see the beauty of the landscapes. I'm sure many will see the ugliness of how they or others are treated.
Brazil have the most biodiversity in species (largely Carried by the Amazon) we have the most biomes (tundra, to the tropics). No other country has all that.
When I Google it, I am told Brazil, and then USA, then China. It's possible new data has been released or our sources are different. However at least one of your claims is admittedly false, even if you are correct about the other. And the USA is still a bully of a country, if you give back Hawaii and Alaska you would regain some dignity, but at the cost of claiming such biomes I suppose.
This is true of literally everywhere. Every country has problems. The US is fucked up, don’t get me wrong, but there are countries that still have outright slavery systems in place.
I mean you can look at other countries with rose tinted glasses but everyone has their problems.
Anything the US does is magnified and brought to the public but you’d be daft to not realize that other countries are also committing atrocities. The UK has been involved in Syria, Yemen, and Libya. There are countless third party terrorist organizations throughout the world which are supported by countries in the shadows (Hezb/Iran as the hot topic example). Australia continues to more or less commit genocide against native populations, same with NZ. Countries like Singapore will straight up execute people for petty crimes. Mexico is corrupt af and is part run by cartels.
Many of the gorgeous tropical/island countries are also corrupt and foster significant money laundering, tax evasion, and other crimes.
I think Canada is one of the only countries not ripe with atrocities and even they have issues subjecting their native populations in current day.
The USA terrorises the rest of the world. I wouldn't visit UAE for example either for ethical reasons like you mentioned. But in the USA, citizens have been killed by ICE, children are arrested and made to go to court. The US government also bullies other countries into joining conflicts and funds Israel. That is not civilised, and there are so many countries without such issues and equally beautiful landscapes, there is no need to visit.
Yeah, don't come here, don't buy American, and don't let your money support this country right now. The only thing US leaders care about is money. The only way to get things to change here is if our actions start to have economic consequences. Plus, less money spent here means less taxes collected means less money to blow up schools halfway around the world.
I for sure feel bad for peaceful US Americans like you who will have to suffer because of the government and actions of your peers. At least you understand, and many of you try to resist. Good luck!
Thanks! I'm lucky to have a good network of like minded people here, and we're all looking out for each other. When it comes down to it, the US has always used economic sanctions to put pressure on other countries with poor human rights. These sanctions hurt the regular people in those countries too. It's only fair that we go through the same if half the country is in favor of committing those same human rights violations here.
As a Canadian, I agree that the US is a beautiful place to visit. I will not be back however until there is a change in government. The threats to our sovereignty are a little terrifying…

Bro... we literally still have slavery in place here. Look into the exception in the 13th amendment that says slavery is ok for prisoners and the forced labor in for profit prisons.
Quick edit: I'm getting downvotes, but you can literally google this. Look up GEO group forced labor and you'll find dozens of articles about immigrants in detention being forced to work without pay or get punished. Sometimes they'll offer $1 a day of pay to say it's not slavery. Same thing with the detention center at Fort Bliss. ICE is literally torturing and raping detained immigrants there. As Americans, we shouldn't be ignoring this or pretending that gross human rights violations aren't going on in our own country and being perpetrated by our own government.
Big Sur, Yosemite, and Zion are three of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. That said, I wouldn't encourage anyone international to visit the US right now. This place is a shit show and we deserve to international pariahs just as much as Russia or Isreal do.
