According to Freedom House, the freest countries in the world are Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland are in the top ten. The USA falls way down at 52.
What do you think? What can we do to be more free?
how do you quantify freedom? while using only 3 constants?

Does Freedom House still glows in the dark? Asking for a friend.

(((Freedumb))) literally doesn't exist.

When Germany has laws restricting free speech, censoring the internet, a state monopoly on news, sky high taxes, strict gun laws and political stagnation due to powerful party elites but we`re freer than the US because we have no speed limit on highways and we can drink in public with 16
At least it's still legal here for me to take a piss standing up. These rankings are complete bullshit and you're delusional if you actually believe them. Do you feel honestly free, Swede?
No need to get mad because I speak the truth. We have lack of freedom here too but in different areas compared to your country. >At least it's still legal here for me to take a piss standing up. Things like this is just memes that get picked up, there is no law for this.

Here is press freedom index. Once again Scandinavia ranks at the top with Norway having the freest press in the world. Once again USA is way down at 45. And I expect us to fall even further next year with the recent scandal that our government was tracking journalists...regardless of how severe it was. It's kind of a bummer that our country is so low on these lists.
We need to make a decent replacement for the craigslist casuals section :(
Logan Lopez
Yeah it must be a real bummer when the brainwashing of american exceptionalism crumbles down. All Americans need to castrated

In those supposedly free countries you can go to jail for expressing a political opinion. Clearly the metric is not based in reality.
Jose Murphy
How can you say any countries are free, when none of them have the freedom to put what you want in your own body?

Scandivian press actively hides crime by immigrants. If you believe this is accurate you might be legitimately mentally handicapped.
Jonathan Clark
Uh, yeah, but you have ECONOMIC freedom. And that's what real freedom is.
Nathaniel Morales
Bullshit pinko propaganda. Trump isn't bowing down to progressive values so progressives that write this report thinks the US is somehow less free.
Ryder Richardson
Canada is free solely because of the incompetence of its law enforcement and intelligence agencies. If the government was capable of making us a police state like USA they would. But they can't so I guess we're free.
Angel Torres
The tracking journalists thing is interesting in this context. However, pretty much all of the freedom of the press indexes are weighing America so low because the president is critical of the press.
The people in the press that write these reports don't like it when you talk bad about them.
The freedom of the press in America is top tier. In basically no other country can you get away with saying whatever you want they way you can here.
Jace Martinez
there is no critera on what any of this means. The only thing i can find is this. One of them being "rights of migrants" that is not free. Why dose people who do are not apart of, say america, get to effect how america is "free" since americans will not bend over and take it up the ass.
UPDATE this shit is liberal propaganda. Found the report for america. freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-world/2019/united-states Literally says that Russian effected the presidential election. Hillary won the popular vote. LGBT should be a protected class. How transgenders should use the bathrooms THEY WANT. And then at the bottom talks about minimal wage increases. Christ this shit has Jews written all over it

>nations with hate speech laws have higher rating than nations without What kind of bullshit this?
