Canada

UK and Germany's too. Hungary, France, Denmark and Italy also not in great shape. Anywhere there's heavy zionist genocider influence campaigns. Coincidence maybe. Spain and Ireland are doing great as an anti-pattern.

Democracy IS THE COMPROMISE.

The alternative is a nonstop threat of violence that makes the "Wild West" look like a monk's retreat.

I'm a bit put off by our rating now placing behind Brazil as I'm pretty sure in practical terms Canada is still more Democratic in many aspects. Does it mean we're not sliding? I'm certain we are,but I think methodology might be flawed and as a result we've got sensational-ish content.

TBF - yes democracy is sliding in Canada, just look at recent government moves i Quebec and Alberta as a sample. Meaning we have to fight for it at the polls and on the streets. It's far from "game over" but it could be at some point.

The tipping point has been reached. It's time to usher in the next phase of human existence with a universally global benevolent dictatorship. Democracy was good to a certain point but now we are a world of dangerous fools electing dangerous fools to "lead" us. We need a serious thinking adult in the room again.

"Quietly"?

It’s happening all across the west

"Every crisis is an opportunity"

-- Every single slimy "liberal" politician who is really just a posh autoritarian with a toolbox of Identity Politics slogans.

It doesn’t help my hope for things that, every time Carney clearly represents the owner class over the working class, I see people in comment sections talking about they “don’t like it but you gotta get things done!”. No, this is bad and should not be excused, and why do we always have to have excuses and patience for centrist and right-wing bullshit, which has still yet to show any real functionality, but we won’t even try being progressive despite the innumerable examples of progressive policy working all over the world? Even Mamdani is making it work in the US and we act like Carney needs to allow unreviewed distruction of our environment to benefit O&G companies or the whole country will up and die in only a couple years’ time.

I’m so tired of this crap. I’m so tired of us willfully throwing away our rights and self-respect just to get leaders who will ignore us at every possible turn. I’m sick of people saying that the left will be like Soviet Russia while everything they describe as guaranteed with progressivism is literally happening, openly, in front of them under conservative governments(like our current one, too). Degrading our democracy almost feels like it’s still democratic because so much of the population seems perfectly happy to watch it happen.
