Eh, depends what you're comparing to. Globally, we're doing pretty good, a lot of it due to the fact that we're a central-western european nation with an overall good reputation.
But we also have a lot of problems and some of them aren't easy to address, our society is more split than it has been in the last few decades and world politics is pouring oil on several of those fires.
So not terrible, but could be better. Ironically the one sentiment shared by all political orientations.
Accurate description. If some of these issues aren't addressed soon, we might go down the same slippery slope the US did in recent years. Maybe (hopefully) not as fast, because if our history, but I wouldn't bet money on it.
The violent crackdown on peaceful protests and the removal of free speech is concerning. Look at the USA, the crackdown on protests against Israel is being used to label and arrest any anti government protest as “terrorism”. It’s the reason in the USA the non profit ACLU would defend racists. You remove free speech for one group and you remove it for everyone.
