… alongside the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Italy, Pakistan and Serbia.
Historically, Tiwana said, the US has been “considered the beacon of democracy and defense of fundamental freedoms”
What a fall from grace. Il Duce would’ve been glad.

It’s always funny to hear stuff about “leftists” ruining things when “rightists” 100% tried to overthrow our government - like physically broke in to the Capitol and tried to kill our leaders (while injuring dozens of police officers. “Back the blue” right? “Thin blue line!” Right?).
If the RIGHT can’t have it their way, they’ll literally try to overthrow a fair election. A bunch of spoiled brats trying to kill people because their (now felon - 34 counts!) president wasn’t re-elected. (EDIT: the original post was removed, and this paragraph was using their words. They called left leaning people spoiled brats, so I was just reframing that here.)
Oh no, am I mentioning January 6? You bet I am. The right has lost all credibility after that event. No amount of people throwing dog turds on teslas will be worse than that. (Also, why would anyone be defending the Nazi car guy?)
What’s really going to be funny is seeing the right blame the democrats in a few months (maybe a year) for how shitty everything is after this idiotic trump admin has gutted all public services. Somehow that’ll be the democrats’ fault to them.
Additionally, the guy who blew up the Tesla at the trump hotel was a trump supporter, via Wikipedia:
He [the guy who did it] additionally criticized Kamala Harris as a “DEI candidate”, expressing pleasure that the United States elected "a real president instead of Weekend at Bernie’s. He argued that people should unite around Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to promote national hegemony.
The alt right has big abuser energy. Projection party.
I’d check for worms if I were you. Thoughts and prayers
Trump has failed so many times I can’t count them all. I have yet to see America succeed at anything under his “leadership”
You make the extremely faulty assumption that Trump both wants to and is able to help America succeed when he’s incapable and couldn’t care less.
the left
Go back to bed grandpa and listen to dennis prager complain about the left from a blow hole
You are so wildly disconnected from reality. Please start getting news from unbiased sources like AP or Reuters instead of your conservative echo chamber. Look at a media bias chart and see where your sources are at, then move to less bias and more factual ones.
Here is a recent one for reference: https://adfontesmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Media-Bias-Chart-13.0_Jan-2025-Licensed-Unprotected.pdf
This says “Removed by mod” but that’s exactly along the lines of what I was going to say. Censorship has been going on for a long time. Lefties don’t like civic freedoms anymore than the nazi right psycho’s do. We just have multiple echo chambers where you either fit in or get silenced.
This is some gourmet stupid bullshit right here, well done.
support a fasc, get bashed.
human rights are the only rights that deserve to exist.
Name one thing that travesty of administration is doing right, I’m genuinely curious!
Look, ma! We’re on TV!
You ever heard The Clash’s “I’m so Bored with the U.S.A.”?
That’s how most of us even here in the US feel
The U.S. is always on TV and it’s depressing af. I have a co-worker here in Australia parroting American neonazi talking points.
You need to be quarantined.
The U.S. is always on TV and it’s depressing af.
Its even worse living next door to them.
You need to be quarantined.
They really do. For the good of the world.
Can I get out first? I don’t care to see if they decide to imprison me for being trans or put me on a work farm for taking psychiatric medication.
LPTs for anyone considering:

- look for immigration short lists per country, e.g. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/skilled-worker-visa-immigration-salary-list/skilled-worker-visa-immigration-salary-list - note there’s also unskilled work included in these, notably carers on the seperate (see link) healthcare list

So fucked up, hey? Move now. I can recommend Australia if Canada doesn’t work.
Gotta take the power back.Make the billionaires scared to show their faces
“Land of the free”, they said. Freedom of speech, and all that.
Land of the free, whoever told you that is your enemy
The use never was free, other countries consistently had actual freedoms that the US never had
The one major freedom that the US just only had the freedom to have guns, no matter how stupid it was. You’re a 5 year old? Here, shoot a gun!
Land of the free, whoever told you that is your enemy
They tell themselves that lie every morning.
I blame Francis Scott Key.
Free to pay.
Money is speech, after all.
just now?
Right? Remember Habeas corpus? Nobody does because Dubya signed it away to do some shit.
I’m imagining they don’t do a full audit too often
Is there an EarthNoodle and a FireNoodle? Do they combine to form PastaTron?
No, I am not an elemental noodle.
Just watched a part of Clinton’s speech in post-war Slovenia (after separated from Yugoslavia) where he says that democracy and freedom must prevail around the world. Oh Billy…
He passed NAFTA which was the stake in the heart of the US union movement guaranteeing corporate fascism would ascend unchallenged. Citizens United only a few years later and it was over.
Reagan signed the original NAFTA agreement in 1988 (between Canada and America), then Bush worked on it a bit, then Clinton ratified the final agreement between America, Mexico and Canada 1994.
Two decades of mostly uninterrupted neoliberal rule.
Cheaper Mexican labor was the end of the US middle class for most and broader social stability. As Canada is more expensive than Mexico, the impact of the original was nothing compared to the latter.
Your jerbs!
Civicus, an international non-profit, puts country alongside Democratic Republic of Congo, Italy, Pakistan and Serbia
Italy?
little something called Belusconi also ring a bell?
Uhhhhhhh Meloni is also a medium-far right semi-crazy. She’s not sig heiling but she’s in the same league as AfD.
Melōni and Her crew attended the same far right neo fascist meetings as Polish neo fascists so I was afraid about her but since she took office even Donald Tusk said that she is a reliable partner so I get the impression that at least in Brussels couloirs she baheves reasonably. How does she look from within Italy? Did she take a turn to reason or is it just a theatre for outsiders?
Ever heard of the Mafia? Ever looked into the Meloni family?
The only Meloni family I know
Why did it take so long
So, what paths are still available for us to preserve and restore those civic freedoms?
Not much that won’t land us in prison or dead
Well, that’s concerning. Wonder what made them take notice?
So do country that don’t have programs like US aid for other countries or who have tariffs on imports all have a low freedom ranking?
It seems rather absurd.
Perhaps it’s more about the rollback of rights for anyone who isn’t a straight white man.
See that makes a lot of sense on something like abortion, it really muddys the water and makes it seem more like a fake hit piece when you include things like US aid.
No no, it’s all countries that have a capital that starts with ‘W’, that’s why the US made it on the list.
It just took them long to notice, it’s all.
