The USA is ranked 46th in terms of “press freedom” right behind a country, Romania, that fewer than 25 years ago was run by a one party state with an official state propaganda organ. I guess Romania has made progress in the last 25 years though it has a long ways to go. The USA on the other hand is falling further and further behind as a warmongering government, a sycophantic press and political correctness stifle free inquiry and communication. The “land of the free and home of the brave” is rapidly becoming the “land of the cowed and the home of the afraid.”
Which country is ranked as having the greatest degree of press freedom? Finland. (via att, rsf)
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF SEEING PEOPLE HATING ON MY COUNTRY.
WILL YOU PLEASE STOP JUDGING RUSSIA AND RUSSIAN PEOPLE BY OUR GOVERNMENT?
All I see is “wow Russia so homophobic much hate”.
Can’t you even think a bit about the fact that there are people in our country, in Russia, whose lifes are seriously affected now by this anti-propaganda law?
You think we don’t get enough blind hatred from some people in the same country, huh?
If you think that seeing these posts about “eww, homophobic Russians” makes someone feel better, you’re so very wrong. It makes us feel rejected everywhere, not only in our own country, but also everywhere in the world. Making fun of this or hating doesn’t look like a tiny bit of support.
We have amazing culture, we have interesting history, we have beautiful people in our country, but you chose to judge us by a few xenophobic morons.
RUSSIA IS NOT ITS GOVERNMENT.
STOP.
