Isn't New Zealand the most free?

Our whole system is a corrupted satellite of a political party.
Plus all the media is controlled by banks and diversity of opinion is only allowed under their own marks of "acceptableness"
>>51448127
So """"""""""free"""""""""" speech, according to this study, is being able to criticize the government, but at the same time restricting people in endless because of political correctness. So much for """"""""" free"""""""""" speech.
How can you be free if you live in poverty? And what is freedom anyways? The ability to whore out your time so you can buy the latest product?
>>51448127
It would be interesting to cross this with a map of actual free expression to see which country is the most supportive of it in theory but not in practice
Almost surely USA will have the highest gap since their freedom is quite low but I am curious on other countries
>>51448589
There aren't any free speech restrictions based on political correctness, though.
>>51448646
Maybe not by law, yet, but when someone says something "politically incorrect", even if its within the walls of his own home, and it is found out, he will be shamed and ridiculed until he either wuits everyhring or commits suicide.

And that is a product of a culture. The law has nothing to do with it. I could legally go running down the hall of my apartments screaming, "Death to fags, kikes, niggers, and spics!" That doesn't mean that people won't hate and judge me for it.
>>51448935
Sure, they can hate and judge you, but firing you from your job is simply wrong and should be illegal, regardless of how "offensive" the speech was
How does Canada have less freedom than the U.S.
I mean, I've never been to Canada but I always assumed that they ran their country pretty similar to ours. Same case for U.K., ignoring their "no hate speech" law.

You could say that with the exception of a few countries more red than red white and blue, you rode on the back of freedom, while other continents have millennia of cultural baggage bringing them down.
Honestly I'm most surprised about Poland. Who would have expected that?
>Nigeria is freer than Japan
>>51448993
>less freedom
Simple: their version of the bill of rights is neutered compared to ours.
Literally the second sentence in "Section Two of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms" is
"1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society."

Whereas in our constitution, we used strong vocabulary impossible to misinterpret, such as "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED"

I'd have to disagree on that. Free speech should protect you from any kind of action that can be used against you due to something you said. Being fired from your job because of a tweet is simply lack of freedom of speech.
>venezuela
>>51449725
I'd have to say that the world's more complicated than that.
"Freedom of Expression" is a protected right -- the government can't persecute you for that.
However, government interference in private matters is generally looked down upon.
Capitalism, on which our country is essentially founded, cannot allow any government intervention except to ensure fair business practice, if even that.
For the government to trespass on a subject that can be a very real threat to a business is not only onerous, but also limits the business' freedom of expression in certain cases.
Take an example: Business owner is hardcore liberal
Finds out employee is anti-gay
Fires him because he doesn't support those values.
So are you saying that you will limit that business owner's freedom of speech to protect the employee's freedom of speech?
In current America it is perfectly legal to fire someone for any reason as long as it isn't discrimination based on sex or race.
>>51449219
Freedom of speech means freedom of speech. Nothing more, nothing less. If saying certain things puts you out of employment then your speech isn't quite free.
