    So if the west indeed is more free, why are people getting arrested, beaten, scolded and losing jobs for supporting Palestinians

    You are incapable of non-binary thinking? It’s more free.

    There are people much smarter than you or me who try to quantify freedoms and you know what’s never doing well on these evaluations? China.

      I write a whole comment for you to just take a snippet of, reply with snark and then send a link that ranks the US democracy index at 81/100.

      I very much doubt the intelligence of these people if they call the US a “flawed democracy”. It’s an oligarchy that knows enough buzzwords to sound correct.

      But sure. While China develops their economy, ensure their citizens are well and educated, and act as the only big power actually doing something about climate change, keep deluding yourself that the US is somehow better.

      Stupid fucking American.
