What is FREEDOM Like Around the World? (The MOST FREE Countries in The World)

[@IDKersDad]

Dubai. Not the place I would want to be. I watched a story about an Australian who was thrown in jail without due process we are used to and eventually let go. Who in their right mind would allow that possibility to exist in their lives? And the stories about missing princesses. Plus it is hot AF. Pass. I think there is more to life than pursuit of Zero taxes. Pursue low taxes but with freedom.

[@peaceonearth8693]

Hearsay, but I've heard if a little old lady shopkeeper (for example) in Japan, makes a complaint about a foreigner. It could be for any reason. That the foreign person is apt to be thrown in Jail with no hearing for days or weeks. And, not any lux jail but a rice and water sit absolutely still on your knees type of jail experience.

[@andre1987eph]

That happens in the U.S. ALL the TIME. Also men kicked out of college on false accusations.

[@mvp019]

Again, his point is it depends on what your personal need for freedom is and how you define it. I find it laughable that the US considers itself the bastion of freedom in the world when this is evidentially obviously not that case in many instances. (As they dispense democracy around the world one bomb at a time.) "Freedom" in the USA is more a propaganda talking point than an actual thing in many instances...July 4th is my least favorite holiday because it rings so hollow anymore.

I saw somewhere on the Net that Sweden was rated as one of the freest countries in the world. However, given the fact that you can be dragged into court for saying something that displeases the Swedish government, I would write Sweden off ASAP. In fact, if my memory serves me correctly, a Swedish artist was thrown in prison because the Swedish government was very upset over his artwork. In the USA that would never have happened. I also saw where Switzerland was highly rated on the freedom scale but given its attempt to extradite Italian writer Oriana Fallaci so she could be put on trial for some alleged racist content in her book, I would therefore have to write Switzerland off as well. As for the USA, its judicial system is corrupt. American courts follow the U.S. Constitution only when it is convenient for them to do so. The First Amendment is still protected but the second and fourth Amendments are not. So, as it now stands I would say New Zealand is most likely the freest country in the world.

Only if you say things that are deemed "acceptable" to the government and society (or cancel culture).

Topic suggestion: Stepping back a bit from countries. Which cultural groupings are having which problems and which cultures have attributes for all the desirable features. Such as freedom, privacy, etc. I write this because it seems that the Anglo-sphere is experiencing an increase in P.C-ness. And, all that goes with it. Perhaps even moving towards losses of freedom and increases towards socialism. Compared to the Germanic cultural areas for another group. Latin American countries for another group. (Plus maybe, what are the vulnerabilities from Chinese expansion in different parts of the world.) I know that's a lot of stuff, but it's up to you. Key question though is: Are Germanic and Scandinavian cultures more resistant to the dramatic changes that seem to be unfolding in the Anglo-sphere? (I know they are set in their ways, otherwise you could buy milk on a Sunday.)

[@OffshoreCitizen]

This is an amazing suggestion! There is something to be said for different cultures being susceptible to certain things, while others are not. Measures during pandemic and how people behaved during these measures was a good indicator of this. Some countries were quite a bit more relaxed (Montenegro for example) than others, such as France or Germany. Culture is a good indicators of how far rules can go. This is a great topic for discussion. It seems to me that Scandinavian cultures are more of rule following cultures than Anglo cultures. People seem to be accepting what's been told without much fuss, while Anglo Saxons are big on their rights and questioning everything.

Having both beach and snow is tougher so here are some thoughts. - Bulgaria, Romania, Georgia & Montenegro will all give you beach as well as snow and seasons with much lower tax - Turkey gives beach and snow though tax is more complicated and tough - Chile has a tax exemption available and offers beach and snow - San Marino doesn't have beach but is a 30 minute drive away from Remini Italy for beaches There's a bunch of places that give you 4 seasons with better tax but don't have beach so you could always travel for the beach such as - Switzerland - Liechtenstein - Andorra - Ireland Or on the flip side you could live somewhere warm for tax and travel for the snow.
