Freedom of the press:

Human freedom index
I see no USA.
democracy:
press

I'm talking regular citizens

even the press here is free to say whatever, Alex jones would never be allowed a station for example in those countries
democracies

the countries in green are literally parliamentary governments meaning the people don't even get a direct vote on who leads and represents the country

the bureaucrats they vote in pick amongst themselves

plus those countries are social democracies which literally means big government aka less individual freedoms

your forced for example to pay more taxes in those governments

which means working more for directly for your government (near communism but not their yet)
what happens if you disagree with these governments lets say for example in taxes

well in the US your allowed the freedom of owning guns and the freedom of having small militias so you can tell the government to f*ck off

like the Oregon and Utah militias

those other countries have no power over their state which has more direct rule on them and like I said before have more screened candidates meaning the leader of the country docent even reflect the will of the people
