I don't see any good future for my current country(India) due to many different problems.

I don't have any motivation to continue living in this country and want to move to a developed country to have a decent Quality of Life at least. I am considering some countries in Europe because they align with what I want for a better QoL.

I am blacklisting war torn countries like the US. Also east Asia is lower priority because the work culture is as shit as India.

What country should I try to move to?

    Germany - 0.0000093% chance of being murdered every year

    USA - .00008%

    It's a bigger number, but it's still a very small number.

      I think you mathed wrong and added a couple zeroes, it's 6.5/100k which is 0.0065%

      % chance of being murdered every year: 0.0065% for Americans, 0.0008% for Germans

      In easier to read numbers: 1 in ~15,000 Americans killed a year, 1 in 125,000 Germans killed a year

      Your chances of being killed across 70 years: 1 in 220 Americans, 1 in 1785 Germans

      So there's about a half a percent chance the average American will be murdered in their life

      If you still think that's something we should trivialize, think about the chance of knowing someone that got murdered. Let's say the average person has 20 close or relatively close friends/family members throughout their life: 1 in 11 Americans will know someone relatively close that got murdered in their life, compared to 1 in 90 Germans

      I know someone who's had a couple friends killed, it's something that would shock white people who grew up in relatively decent areas. Ofc I don't agree with how the media fear mongers crime rates, because their only solution is to either bring more cops in or take guns away from marginalized people, but you can't deny crime is bad in many parts of the country. The American state loves to perpetuate crime in poor and black communities.
