In the US, maybe. But that’s considered a flawed democracy and getting worse all the time. Only 8% of the nations on earth are full democracies, a number that continues to fall because of the pessimism and stupidity promulgated by authoritarian regimes.

Germany on "full democracy" at the same time it bans symbols of Palestinian support and uses the state's violence to contain such manifestations.

Germany bans stuff al the time. It’s a consequence of our history and the historic leniency towards extremist edges. Your example is debatable in it’s execution, the general thought however is not.

Nobody's perfect, and if you're in Germany you should reach out to your politicians about it.

I'd like to know your sources, because to my knowledge there is no such ban in Germany.

Haha! Australia is a full democracy? What a joke!

Australia is America's bitch. Even if our politicians gave a shit, they couldn't do anything.

This infographic is produced by a capitalist propaganda network, Visual Capitalist, using data from a capitalist think tank, EIU (Economic Intelligence Unit). I would download the report and scrutinize their methodology but it requires you enter a ton of personal information.

Jesus fuck this map is a joke.

How the fuck made that chart that put USA on top of Brazil, here the president isn't immune to prison just because he has money

[–] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 6 points 3 months ago

The infographic was produced by a company called Visual Capitalist. Influence of money on the political process doesn't factor into their calculations. Hell, it probably gives the score a boost.

"Western Countries good, everyone else bad" what a farce.
