      To be fair, the democracy index isn’t particularly a good way way to judge if your country is democratic or not.

      Tens of thousands of people are imprisoned in the UK for their social media post. There is a similar situation in Germany too.

      Sources:
      *The data regarding 12,183 arrests made in the UK for “online comments” appears to have been taken from a* [*Times* ](https://www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/article/police-make-30-arrests-a-day-for-offensive-online-messages-zbv886tqf)*article published in April of this year, which is considered a credible news source.*

      *The report claims that this number came from custody data obtained by the outlet, which revealed that around 12,000 arrests were made in 2023 by 37 police forces under Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 and Section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988.*

      China lifted more people out of poverty than all the democracies combined 🫣 Keep voting every 4 years between blue poop or red poop

      If the US and EU like you, you are democratic. If they do not, you are not.

      Belgium calling. Can someone tell me why our index fell? Isn’t this map misinterpreting moving right on the political spectrum as the falling of democracy?

      This feat is impressive for us in Greece. 2008-2022 was a hell period for the country. The fact we remained a democracy when we had 58% youth unemployment, -25% gdp, neo Nazi and communist party 10% each is insane. It was an awful experience.

      Great, so now on top of a meaningless index we also get a meaningless map without a legend

      Germany and UK 😀

      Sorry, but countries where the police break down doors because of ironic internet comments are not democracies.

      Europe criticizing Turkey’s military involvement in the government was a mistake.

      No legend, no source…
      If anything, this is a good example of how to not make data maps.

      The Pre-Trial Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But Britain and the United States are threatening the ICC for this. Is that democratic?

      Which index did you use? Freedom house is goated while economist is dogshit, for example

      As a Serb I have to ask, in what world is Serbia more democratic than Romania, and as democratic as Bulgaria and Croatia?

      These sorts of „democracy“ indexes tend to just be, do the authors like the parties that are electorally successful. Im not denying they cant call a dictatorship a dictatorship, but when you look at the differences between lime and dark green, it is all vibes.

      How is Iraq less democratic now than when it was in 2006?

      Also Hungary more democratic than Romania?

    31. Silent_Ad379 on

      Seems like Russia got more democratic. Interesting…

      Wait what do you mean green means more democratic? No one told me that
