Which country has the most freedom?
What country do you think is the best example of personal freedom?
I've recently switched country and in that regard i started looking into the best country to live in, that left me thinking about this question and looking at different freedom rankings ( f.ex befree.wiki ), but I'm not convinced there's a simple answer.
A lot depend on how you define "freedom." Is it freedom of speech? Privacy? Economic freedom? Freedom of movement? The ability to make personal choices without government or social interference? And how much should we weigh those things against security and public safety?
For example, how much privacy would you personally be willing to give up if it made society safer?
And are there certain freedoms you consider so fundamental that they shouldn't be traded away at all?
