    With the current nation state model, people tend to side with the “lesser evil”. Before the second coming of Trump, people surveyed around the world expressed more favourable view of USA than China, although they trust neither.

      Yeah. Democracy kinda forces lesser evil, no? Like you can’t find politician that has platform of any value to you, but everyone tells you to vote regardless, so you end up voting for whoever looks like a lesser evil.

        I’d say form of governance beyond every person being isolated and only ruling themselves forces lesser evil, it’s very unlikely that any two people would always be in perfect alignment on every single conceivable issue. Of course in some systems you don’t get a say you so you don’t get to pick the option that you’re the most aligned with at all.
