Yeah, this does seem like a kind of inaccurate generalization.
Does this mean you honestly wouldn't have a preference if you were dropped into a random "place" in one of these countries' societies and had to live the rest of your life there?
It's easy to say "Hey, plus a few ethnic cleansings, minus an intentional lack of economic development in favor of political corruption, plus a couple of highly extractive, insecure, and immoral sets of socio-economic conditions... and I mean we're all basically the same, amirite??"... But while each country's civil society is kinda fucked in some fundamental ways, they seem like unique ways that are hard to compare "apples to apples".
