Have you ever thought of how freedom varies in different countries? What's considered free for some is not for others.
Your definition of freedom will play a huge role in where you decide to live.
We will talk about types of freedom that exist in the world, and where you can find those types of freedom.
Many will say that the USA is the freest country in the world. Did you know that the American Revolution happened because of taxes? And today it is quite the opposite. More and more Americans are leaving their country and giving up their citizenship in order to avoid taxes, which are increasing.
My friend and client who comes from Europe, but lives in Dubai gave me a very good perspective on what he considers to be freedom.
He says that in Dubai they don't have the freedom to protest, but he doesn't care about that freedom as he never used it in his home country. The freedom that he cares about is the freedom of not having to report your finances. In his case, UAE is one of the freest countries in the world, because you don't have to do any reporting and paying taxes. Quite the opposite from his home country.
What about the freedom of speech? America is one of the few countries in the world where your freedom of speech is protected. At the same time, they have crazy cancel culture, that will simply erase you if you say something that doesn't fit the common narrative. Do you still have freedom of speech when this is the case?
Another freedom that America offers and most other countries don't is the freedom to bear arms. If you care about your guns, you better stay in the US. At the same time, this freedom is making the US the most dangerous developed country in the world.
The US also has a crazy suing culture, and they will have regulations and labels to prevent people from being stupid and hurting themselves because it could result in a massive lawsuit. If you're in places like Thailand or Mexico these things don't happen nearly as much. You need to take the responsibility for your actions, so you won't see so many rules at every single corner.
Then there are places that will protect your privacy. Switzerland and Iceland have laws that will protect your privacy.
On the other hand, it can go in the opposite extreme, like when the EU brought GDPR which didn't really make you any safer but made life much harder.
Another freedom that might matter to you might be the freedom from corruption. Corruption is still a huge problem in many countries around the world. At the same time, some people actually enjoy living in such an environment, where they can circumvent rules and use a shortcut to get things done.
The next freedom that might matter to you is the freedom of religion. In some places, you are not allowed to express your religious beliefs.
Finally, important rights are human's rights and this especially matters if you are a member of the LGBT community or if you are a woman.
Being gay is still illegal in many countries around the world, so if you belong to this group of people clearly you will not want to go to such countries no matter how good their taxes are.
Similar applies if you are a woman. In many countries around the world, you will not be protected by law if something happens to you, and you will face discrimination (or even worse) at every corner. Do you want to be in such places? Absolutely no!
However, don't make any assumptions before you go somewhere. Even we at Offshore Citizen had some biases and prejudice about some places before we actually visited them. However, when we actually spent some time in those places our perspective changed drastically.
Who are we and what do we do?
We are Offshore Citizen team. We help people become global: get a second passport, set up a second residency, pay less taxes, do banking abroad, etc.

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.

[@andre1987eph]

As a Male of part African American descent, I define freedom as where I am most invisible. In the USA I am profiled 100 times each day. In Eastern Europe and Russia, I was never profile during a 2 month trip.

You are right. It’s one thing when you’re single or have a girlfriend and a whole other thing if you have kids. What you look for in a place changes and you cannot afford to be so flexible.

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

[@peaceonearth8693]

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.

Which country is better than Australia for tax (crypto, ecommerce) but also gives you that 4 seasons of the year vibe. Beach and Snow ?

[@MichaelRosmer]

Haha well most parts of the world are better than Australia for tax, the ATO are nuts. So the bar isn't so high in that regard. 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.

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.

Well no one is doing specifically mRNA vaccine passports. They are doing general vaccine passports. People are welcome to use a non mRNA vaccine and still get the vaccine passport. If you're asking what places won't do vaccine passports at all, good question. Even places that are very open are doing vaccine passports but not necessarily requiring them to for example go to restaurants, which is probably the best you'll do. Right now it's looking like places like Turkey and Mexico are some of the best in that regard

Absolutely! It’s getting out of control 🙄

FYI, the second amendment is to use against a tyrannical gov and that is the primary purpose. Japan may be safer but their citizens will have no means to stop any gov going tyrannical. There is a lot to this issue to explain like weak judges not throwing the book at criminals because they don't want to imprison more violent b people who do most of the shootings.

Yeah I get it historically but I don't think it's nearly so valid in the modern day. Realistically that should probably be a protection on encryption services and other similar protections

If you live in country and tyrannical Government. It's a third world country with poor morals, corrupt, Government and bad Judicial and law systems. Oh, that sums up the U.S.A. !!...

Did he just blame mass shootings on the right to bear arms? Wow. Talk about confusing the issue. He Just lost me.

[@MichaelRosmer]

Actually I specifically said they weren't necessarily correlated but that in a county with right to bear arms (the US) you also have this other. So you pick a country that has one and you might not have the other so which country do you want?

"America the most dangerous country in the developed world" 🤣 you gotta be kidding, let me know when America has to deal with acid attacks on a regular basis like us in the UK, per capita were far worse in all regards and we're not as bad as france 🤣

[@OffshoreCitizen]

Not even close check the homicide rates. US is 4.96, UK is 1.2, France is also 1.2

[@crizza2000]

Switch off the TV Elliot - you may want to check some factual sources.

[@ratofvengence]

"you gotta be kidding" He's not. The US has a homicide rate worse than several 3rd world nations. Go look it up before replying.

[@Theaielman]

In several respects the US is basically akin to a developing country with a shinny premium skin. The violent crime rate is one of them, and hell there are states in the US that rank alongside actual developing nations in things like poverty rates, education, and quality of life.
