USA assessment on civic freedoms downgraded to “obstructed”

[Radiorum]

The global civil society alliance Civicus – an influential network of organizations at the local, national, regional and international levels – has updated their country ratings and global assessment on civic freedoms.

Click on this link to go to a map showing the ratings of different countries around the world.

Canada is classified as an “open” society, with a score of 82/100

The USA has had its rating downgraded from “narrowed” to “obstructed” – with a score of 56/100

Some of the reasons leading to the downslide in the US score are:

·         Laws rewritten to punish dissent

·         Agencies militarized

·         Public media dismantled

·         Civil liberties weakened

·         Surveillance normalized

·         Propaganda institutionalized

 

The American public is being suppressed rather than served.

What a joke. 

Basically, they are uber mad America is actually enforcing its immigration laws and deporting illegal immigrants. And for as much as you claim you support enforcing immigration law, here you are yet again pushing this silly nonsense.

I understood those just fine, a bunch of vague assertions, skewed by left-wing bias. Go to their website, which you linked to, and they push lies about the US targeting minority communities, aka, enforcing immigration laws.

I honestly want to understand why you won't accept the truth of what is going on?

I want to understand why there is no room in your brain for anything other than "illegal immigration."

There is such a great amount of evidence indicating that Trump is harming the USA in so many ways, but you blithely refute it all, as if whatever problem illegal immigration poses can only be solved by Trump's corruption.

Your massive denial of what Trump is doing to the USA indicates a sort of cowardice - afraid to face the truth.

What "truth" am I not accepting here? This is a biased, subjective evaluation based on skewed, selective metrics.

This is your false premise. You say you want to talk about truth, but then make up crap like this.

Wher have I refuted it all? There are points made, that are based on falsehoods, lies, or distortions and I point those out.

Denial of what? Bring up something specific. You have run away from just about every thread you created or were in this week on the points being discussed.

This is your mantra: "You run away." I don't. Please educate yourself on what Trump is doing.

Then give me a specific metric and their reasoning, not a vague comment.

You just did and now you are lying about it. There is plenty of room in my brain beyond illegal immigration, hell I am discussing more than that here in the last hour, even with you.

When you guys are in power, you call it imposing your policies democracy. When you are not in power, you call it suppression.
