Hi, I'm looking for a country whose people or government mainly support my values. I'm looking for a country that:

supports wildlife protection
supports eco-friendly things and solar/wind energy
supports freedom of expression and does NOT criminalize queer people, be it trans, gay, bi, pan, intersex, asexual, etc.
peaceful, low crime
community-oriented
equal and just
very friendly towards animals, filled with animal sanctuaries and no-kill shelters
free education and/or healthcare (preferably education and healthcare are free/government-funded)
high taxes are therefore fine to me
compassion-oriented
affordable food with low unhoused rates and high employment rates

I’m looking for a country whose people or government mainly support my values.

For what purpose? Are you in a position to live anywhere in the world? The best most people can do is work toward improving the country they live in. Not many can simply go window shopping.

Many people also need to flee their countries, e.g. trans and foreign born people in the USA which are being hunted and incarcerated in awful prisons right now, or Palestinians which are being bombed and raided by Israel right now. Or Israelis and US-Americans who don't like their genocidal government.

That said, the grass is always greener on the other side of the barbed wire fence. I often think about leaving Germany but the alternatives might not be ideal for me.

Well, if you have no kids, dont have strong roots and maybe even have saved a bit of money, I don’t see why you shouldn’t look into migrating somewhere else.
