Ok, something is wrong with the USA. Shouldn't it be at least in the top 10. When did the USA mess up?
It's realy shamefull.

Because one side has decided it's in their best interest if people don't vote and so they decided to try and make sure people don't vote. Which is ironic because said side is now freaking out about the erosion of democracy because one side has talked about packing the court, while ignoring the fact their own side has expanded the supreme court in a bunch of states when they were in power because there were too many judges that belonged to the other side. Pic related is a sitting United States Senator.
Here is the list
Sorry, I guess you have to be so meta, because of the no politics rules of Zig Forums
But rank 86 is realy bad under the premise that every crime made in the name of the USA allways immediatly supported with a choir of Americans proudly promoting the endless freedom of the USA.
Looks like the endless freedom is essentially two liberties
#1) the freedom to carry weapons
#2) to teach intelligent design in biology classes
Canada is ranked 98. You just have to look at Canada and do it the way they do it! They also can carry weaopons! No 2nd amendment drama would ensuit if you just copy them neighbours.
Hmm,
Germany should also follow Canadas lead.
>freedom house
Elaborate!
>Freedom House is a U.S.-based, U.S. government-funded
So?
The CIA world fact book is too.
Still a pretty good resource.
No it's not, no government funded be it any government in the world is going to be honest to you.
Especially when they go on rating "freedom" which isn't really as easily measured as much of the stuff in the CIA fact book.
and voter ID is racist im sure
Then why is the USA rated so low?
Are witnessing a "Dolchstoß Legende" live in the makeing?
>Freedom House is a U.S.-based, U.S. government-funded
You are an idiot m8.
I don’t really give a shit what any “index” or “rating” says as I’m quite certain that we have far more freedom than at least most European countries but it’s true that we have significantly less than we used to have if you define freedom in a certain way.
basically we tried to enforce our borders, some random schizo killed mexicans, and a president got impeached. so it is just some pozzed nothingburger
When you close every single DMV in a minority area as states have done, yes.
*beep*
us press is too political to be really free
He is right about democracy. The US just isn't democratic despite one party being called democrats. It aims at other things. Don't know if that is good or bad. The two party system in poison though.
I worked both sides of the Atlantic. There is no West-European country that has less freedom than the USA.
What is the bases of your asumption?
not him, but Can't you get locked up for holocaust denial? or fines for hate speech or something? also you have less lax gun laws
USA should just have a mandatory photo-ID for everyone 16 and above, that hs to be kept up to date by the ID-holder.
Because it makes everything inclueding demanding your rights, easier.
Just use Polity IV
These rankings are obviously a joke. There's no way europeans who live in literal police states are freer than latin americans. Of course the methodologies used in these rankings ignore that and equate "freedom" to stuff that has nothing to do with it
Freedom is difficult to quantify. I think the left does more to get rid of freedom of speech in the US than the right. Some part of the left in the US is more rabid, about trans rights, their stance on African American issues etc. than in Europe.
In the Netherlands it is illegal to discriminate, I think the US is getting in dangerous waters discriminating against people on the grounds of political affiliation.
You get fined for holocaust denial in Germany. Will you get fined pissing on a grave in the USA?
You don't get fined for hatespeech. You can get fined for steering up the masses to commit genocide.
Our gun laws are absolutely fine. You can have everything you need.
PLUS our policemen respect our freedoms! I even have the right to legally escality the confrontation with a policemen if they violate my dignity.
Let me watch you escalate a confrontation with an impolite policemen and survive it!
The empire of satan is always the opposite of what it proclaims to be to the entire world.
Its part of the grand strategy of political smoke and mirrors...aka "demonocracy"
Always get people saying we live in police states but never get an actual explanation of why that is
'a totalitarian state controlled by a political police force that secretly supervises the citizens' activities'
Don't think that's many western countries at all
Growing up in the USA and living extended several months in most European countries including yours.
then why the hell would they rate the usa that low?
>Don't think that's many western countries at all
Dude...
>I think the US is getting in dangerous waters discriminating against people on the grounds of political affiliation.
That’s true but that is social more than legal and ironically, many political opinions are even more taboo in Europe.
>CIA world --------------------->fact
Which western counties are totalitarian states controlled by a political police force?
Didn’t you just lock all your college students in fences like livestock?
Whats that got to do with the definition of a police state? Disease lockdowns clearly aren't anything to do with a secret police force are they?
I didn’t say you live in a police state but it sure sounds to American ears like that’s a step towards one. In the least, it’s a severe restriction on freedom.
>many political opinions are even more taboo in Europe.
I'm not sure about that. Political opinions in Europe vary wildly. There are some very right wing parties here, the most right wing are in Eastern Europe though.
In the US there are two political parties that have any place in the political system, in Europe there are hundreds. It makes it hard to compare.
Lol
Surely if the government has one job its to stop people dying, even the most die hard small government libertarian yank weirdo would agree with me there. Thats what the lockdown is for. Arresting criminals reduces freedom too but a justice system is essential, got nothing at all to do with being a sinister police state
All of them.
They’re biased. They want to demoralize us.
Fun fact: America IS the freest country on earth. We were literally founded on the principles of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Fuck yuropoors and fuck china
Ah yes, the classic meaningless autist response. Stop being embarrassing
I mean, I just really don’t agree after having spent time in Europe. There are things I could say casually in the USA even if only in jest that I would never say in most of Western Europe. At the end of the days, it’s hard to measure like you said.
