“The global struggle for democracy approached a possible turning point in 2022,” Freedom House writes in its latest annual report on political rights and civil liberties around the world. “There were signs … that the world’s long freedom recession may be bottoming out, which would set the stage for a future recovery.”
Freedom shrunk for the 17th straight year over the past 12 months, but did so only slightly this time, with 34 countries growing freer and 35 less free. In addition, “the year’s events showed that autocrats are far from infallible, and their errors provide openings for democratic forces. The effects of corruption and a focus on political control at the expense of competence exposed the limits of the authoritarian models offered by Beijing, Moscow, Caracas, or Tehran. Meanwhile, democratic alliances demonstrated solidarity and vigor.”

Freedom to arrest priests and shut down their services.
We have authoritarianism here in the USA thanks to that illegal usurper demon Obama, the deep state, and diaper boy, but this dipstick is worried about the faggot in Ukraine. Go on over to Ukraine buddy boy and pick up a rifle. Report back.
Biden, with the help of our NATO flag wavers, has created a charnel house filled with innocent young men.
Oh…. ‘The Hill’. Yes, we’ll believe everything you feed us. /sarc
Reads like a parody.
Ukraine is the center of what is wrong with the world, corruption, bio labs, human traffic, politics, money laundering, fraud.... Freedom for criminals.
and russia bears no responsibility whatsoever, right?
So I guess we should ignore Zelensky banning political parties, closing independent media, and banning religious denominations.
The global struggle for democracy ... and massive redistribution.
Do you mean restrictions and security actions on the tiny Moscow-affiliated KGB/FSB-affiliated church that used to have 4% of the population a couple of years ago and now probably has about 1%?
Freedom House is nothing more than a tool for big corporate/government globalist interests.
They don’t know Jack chit about economics or freedom.
Dealing with pro-Russian outlets as Russia is invading and destroying their country? Yes, we should recognize that is a rational and normal part of wartime security in any country.
Try to post a video on youtube or a comment on twitter or reddit that is at all “controversial” and watch what happens next to “freedom” and “democracy”.
DID YOU KNOW? #NATO was a world leader on same-sex marriage. The organisation extended equal benefits to same-sex couples in 2002, when only 1 country – the Netherlands 🇳🇱 – had equal marriage. 🌈

It’s not just that they are sinners. It’s that they take great delight in doing evil and in encouraging others to commit evil. Sick, sick stuff.
and this is germane to russia’s invasion of Ukraine... how, exactly? Are you saying they murdered 10’s of thousands of Ukrainian civilians and put over 100k of their own mobiks into the meat grinder... to stop gay marriage?
Whatta crock. RAT style democracy is not democracy. The US, the fomenters of color revolutions in order to install puppet governments, is not “democracy”.
Shutting down churches, opposing political parties, pushing homosex, is not democracy.
No, it doesn’t. Deep State is a much greater threat.
