… alongside the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Italy, Pakistan and Serbia.
Historically, Tiwana said, the US has been “considered the beacon of democracy and defense of fundamental freedoms”
What a fall from grace. Il Duce would’ve been glad.
Fall from grace my ass. People are just now noticing that everything America has ever been is a cardboard set piece used to hide the piles of garbage in the background. This country has never been anything more than a lie.
America is becoming one of those Third World shit holes Trump talked about way back when.
I’m so glad I’m Canadian. I’ll just watch the flames from across the border.
Just watched a part of Clinton’s speech in post-war Slovenia (recently separated from Yugoslavia) where he says that democracy and freedom must prevail around the world. Oh Billy…
He passed NAFTA which was the stake in the heart of the US union movement guaranteeing corporate fascism would ascend unchallenged. Citizens United only a few years later and it was over.
Reagan signed the original NAFTA agreement in 1988 (between Canada and America), then Bush worked on it a bit, then Clinton ratified the final agreement between America, Mexico and Canada 1994.
Two decades of mostly uninterrupted neoliberal rule.
Cheaper Mexican labor was the end of the US middle class for most and broader social stability. As Canada is more expensive than Mexico, the impact of the original was nothing compared to the latter.
Your jerbs!
Well, that’s concerning. Wonder what made them take notice?
Look, ma! We’re on TV!
The U.S. is always on TV and it’s depressing af. I have a co-worker here in Australia parroting American neonazi talking points.
You need to be quarantined.
The U.S. is always on TV and it’s depressing af.
Its even worse living next door to them.
You need to be quarantined.
They really do. For the good of the world.
Can I get out first? I don’t care to see if they decide to imprison me for being trans or put me on a work farm for taking psychiatric medication.
So fucked up, hey? Move now. I can recommend Australia if Canada doesn’t work.
One word: Murdoch
just now?
I’m imagining they don’t do a full audit too often
Is there an EarthNoodle and a FireNoodle? Do they combine to form PastaTron?
No, I am not an elemental noodle.
Right? Remember Habeas corpus? Nobody does because Dubya signed it away to do some shit.
Why did it take so long
So, what paths are still available for us to preserve and restore those civic freedoms?
Not much that won’t land us in prison or dead
So do country that don’t have programs like US aid for other countries or who have tariffs on imports all have a low freedom ranking?
It seems rather absurd.
Perhaps it’s more about the rollback of rights for anyone who isn’t a straight white man.
See that makes a lot of sense on something like abortion, it really muddys the water and makes it seem more like a fake hit piece when you include things like US aid.
Rapid decline in civic freedoms? More like a freefall into dystopia with no parachute in sight.

“Land of the free”, they said. Freedom of speech, and all that.
Free to pay.
Gotta take the power back.Make the billionaires scared to show their faces
Civicus, an international non-profit, puts country alongside Democratic Republic of Congo, Italy, Pakistan and Serbia
Italy?
little something called Belusconi also ring a bell?
Uhhhhhhh Meloni is also a medium-far right semi-crazy. She’s not sig heiling but she’s in the same league as AfD.
Ever heard of the Mafia? Ever looked into the Meloni family?
The only Meloni family I know
Don’t forget about Chris
The left would rather see Trump fail than to have America succeed.
The left are out destroying Tesla’s and their dealerships and bombing Trump hotels, but use Jan 6th as a scapegoat when challenged.
If the Left can’t have it their way, they would rather have everyone fail. A bunch of spoiled brats throwing a tantrum when they can’t have drag queen story hour and transwomen in women’s restrooms.
support a fasc, get bashed.
human rights are the only rights that deserve to exist.
Well, I’m for animal rights too.
It’s always funny to hear stuff about “leftists” ruining things when “rightists” 100% tried to overthrow our government - like physically broke in to the Capitol and tried to kill our leaders (while injuring dozens of police officers. “Back the blue” right? “Thin blue line!” Right?).
If the RIGHT can’t have it their way, they’ll literally try to overthrow a fair election. A bunch of spoiled brats trying to kill people because their (now felon - 34 counts!) president wasn’t re-elected. (EDIT: the original post was removed, and this paragraph was using their words. They called left leaning people spoiled brats, so I was just reframing that here.)
Oh no, am I mentioning January 6? You bet I am. The right has lost all credibility after that event. No amount of people throwing dog turds on teslas will be worse than that. (Also, why would anyone be defending the Nazi car guy?)
What’s really going to be funny is seeing the right blame the democrats in a few months (maybe a year) for how shitty everything is after this idiotic trump admin has gutted all public services. Somehow that’ll be the democrats’ fault to them.
Additionally, the guy who blew up the Tesla at the trump hotel was a trump supporter, via Wikipedia:
He [the guy who did it] additionally criticized Kamala Harris as a “DEI candidate”, expressing pleasure that the United States elected "a real president instead of Weekend at Bernie’s. He argued that people should unite around Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to promote national hegemony.
You make the extremely faulty assumption that Trump both wants to and is able to help America succeed when he’s incapable and couldn’t care less.
Name one thing that travesty of administration is doing right, I’m genuinely curious!
the left
Go back to bed grandpa and listen to dennis prager complain about the left from a blow hole
Trump has failed so many times I can’t count them all. I have yet to see America succeed at anything under his “leadership”
Yep, fascists taking over will do that to a country 😬
