Most of the organization's funding comes from the U.S. State Department and other government grants.
Freedom to do what exactly
Freedom to be serfs of the USA usually
How free you are to gain influence and do whatever you want inside that country as a wealthy foreign Westerner or business, if you go by that measure then the map is actually very accurate.
Its how free the bourgeoisie are to commodify the population.
free to loot
sell your labor to capitalists
It's wild how they have the audacity to list Tibet as its own country but think nothing of the Reservations 
Ironically Tibet has more autonomy than those reservations.
I'm glad that I haven't had my coffee yet, I was about to do a major spittake.
India partly free 
And Fucking "Israel" too
Idk, probably one of the only accurate things on the map, but almost certainly for the wrong reasons.
Maybe 10 years ago I would have called it partly free but definitely not now.
I bet Brazil's is lower now because leftist party and Argentina's is higher now because far-right party.
Don’t worry, Milei is becoming very unpopular very quickly, once the inevitable backlash happens, Argentina will be back to the no-no list line under Nestor Kirchner.
The liberal definition of freedom has always primarily been about the freedom of the wealthy to exploit the poor.
It would be much closer if they add disclaimer that "free" here is as in "how close to free it is for US ruling class to acquire"
Bad guy index
We should start calling them Tom Clancy maps or Tom Clancy index.

L毛 they put Tibet on there.
Also separate Crimea and "East Donbass"
The eastern Donbass was independent at the time but it's weird to put Crimea as separate from Russia AND Ukraine. They also do a similar thing with Kashmir.
Having been to Costa Rica I know exactly why they to get to be dark green, they readily accept US dollars and have their economy based around catering to Western tourists while locals live in shantytowns in homes that are barred up like prison cells.
Its super funny this chart recognized east donbass as independent from ukraine
Just to portray it as a scary ruzzian dictatorship💀, gotta start the propaganda machine early for when they actually get their indipendence from the real fascists who were killing them en masse.
I love my all Freedom. Started collecting them from a young age. Always been a fan. Wish I knew better as a kid and didn’t open some original foil booster packs. The pre-9/11 ones go for a lot nowadays. But I still have over 300 in almost mint condition, including a holographic misprint Freedom, the one with three WTC buildings on it if you can believe it.
Do you want to trade freedoms? I have 3 copies of freedom of press and 5 copies of economic freedom if u're interested, always kept them in a sleeve.
the one with three WTC buildings on it if you can believe it.
Including the one which crumbled for no reason and part of gold stored in it disappeared? Now that's rarity.
How is this index calculated? Is it pluralism? Because then China would be more “free” than the US.
According to their own biaises China has absolute zero pluralism because it's a "one party state"
China - 1 party - dictatorship
US - 2 parties - democracy
Russia - 8 parties - dictatorship
the numbers don't lie
I don’t know, other than they start with their conclusion and work backward to construct metrics to fit it. Hannah Arendt would be proud.
Senator Armstrong is just your average US politician
"Global community" map.
I love how the yanks can't even win their own made-up popularity contest
George W. Bush: Glances away nervously
How tf would you say Iran is more free than China.
tfw you attemp to make your map more believable by purposefully lowering your freedumb index to own the tankies
