Why are yanks so obsessed with '''''''''''freedom''''''''''' when they barely even have any?
>>62005234
we've been brainwashed with the idea of "american exceptionalism"
>>62005748
>he escaped the brainwashing
are you new in america my friend
>>62005748
Yes, instead you've been brainwashed with liberal idea of "America sucks."
I'm pretty sure Denmark is also a monarchy, why aren't they in the rectangle?
>hong kong

How did they calculate the freedom index? Seems weird that Europe with several thought crime laws and gun bans would rank higher.
>>62005234
I hope you understand that the only things that really factor into the "freedom index" is how cucked your country is by religious, ethnic, and sexual minorities.
>>62005234
It's literally because every faggot who makes one of these indices thinks we have a police problem, where we incarcerate to many blacks, versus a black people problem
>Hong Kong

relates to the british empire lad. USA broke away from the empire for MUH FREEDOMZ yet the ones who stayed loyal ended up being more free

>america doesn't have a police/private prison problem
o-ok whatever you say yanky wanky
>>62005234
>the number one country in "freedom" isn't even an independent state
I genuinely believe that a lot of these lists rank the United States so low just be contrarians. I'm not saying our country doesn't have problems and I would never say it's the most free country on the planet, but clearly American citizens have greater freedom of press, speech, and defense than the United Kingdom

We don't have a private prison problem. 8.4% of prisoners in the United States are in a private prison, unlike the UK, which was the very first country on the planet to have private prisons and houses 15% of their prisoner population in private prisons. The idea of cops throwing people in jail to make corporations money is a lazy fantasy popular with community college students to explain away the complexities of the criminal justice system
>>62005234
Denmark, Sweden and Norway are also monarchies.

Do you not know what a private prison is? Don't reply to me if you're incapable of reading my post

Thanks for scribbling our Ireland from the unfree monarchy cucks lad. It's a shame about you though.
>>62005234
16 out of 196 isn't that bad desu but still not as good as it could be
>>62005234
Your country literally banned knives. I'm gonna go ahead and say this chart is bullshit.

I like how Ameroca equates a few "negative" liberties like constitutional carry jurisdictions, no or helmet seatbelt restrictions, access to firearms, etc, as muh freedoms.
Take a look at things like your economic system, or media, that's where freedom are and yours is substandard
>>62005234
Ah yes very impressive

At least I can still post offensive shit without a visit from the cops.
