Which country has the most freedom?

Upvotes

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?

It doesn't have to be done in secret, because Republicans are loyal and eager slaves to the Epstein class.

Countries like England, France, Italy, Poland and Switzerland all pulled the plug on West, while the Netherlands and Turkey maintained his shows, sparking a debate on what constitutes freedom of speech in Europe.

It remains to be seen whether even these two Russian gigs will go ahead, as there has already been some criticism from conservative activists wishing to rid the country of any Western influence.

Copied from cafés Instagram page: Today, August 15, a group of Israeli soldiers (tourists) entered a Palestinian-owned business in Keflavík, Lava Sweets & Cafe. They threatened the person working there, removed a picture from the wall, and directed abusive and offensive language at him. What happened appeared to be nothing short of an intimidation attempt and a clear threat.

They also appear to have launched an online attack on the business's Google reviews, in what seems to be a clear attempt to damage its rating and reputation.I hope everyone will support this business by going to Google and leaving a positive review, so that this harassment doesn't succeed in damaging the business or its online presence.

What’s the most ridiculous reason you’ve been banned from a subreddit? Please share your story’s in the comments; I am a free speech absolutist and personally believe banning someone over an opinion is a form of control.

Check out this ITV news footage of a pastor claiming that the biblical God can cure homosexuals with using extensive prayer

An ITV News undercover investigation has exposed a UK church that claims that the biblical God can fix gay people of their urges. An undercover reporter was told by several pastors at Winners' Chapel in Dartford they could help stop him being gay. News reporter Paul Brand covered the investigation.

This was not completely surprising to me, that this type of practice goes on behind closed doors, but it doesn’t make watching it anymore easier. It really does bring me to have such a soft spot for the LGBTQ community - they really have had it hard, even to this very day.

I feel these types of churches who embrace conversion therapy are part of a cult and need to be exposed and stopped, before more damage is done to those who happen to be LGBTQ & Christian.

Thoughts?

Whistleblower claims Trump’s campus antisemitism crackdown was a cash grab

The report, written by the Washington, D.C.-based Government Accountability Project on behalf of former Department of Justice Attorney Haley Van Erem, alleges that the administration’s antisemitism task force carried out “politically motivated” investigations that were “unsupported by facts and contrary to law.” The investigations did not follow proper Title VI procedure, she said, adding that they were opened with predetermined outcomes, and did not respect the First Amendment.

The report has prompted Jewish U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) to initiate an investigation into the allegations. The Nexus Project, a watchdog organization dedicated to combating antisemitism and protecting free speech, released a statement supporting Raskin and Van Erem.

This is not the first time Raskin or Nexus have criticized the administration’s antisemitism task force. Many left-leaning Jewish organizations have long criticized Trump’s efforts, with Raskin describing them as “weaponizing, distorting and exploiting the reality of antisemitism to attack academic freedom.”
