It seems that they rank personal freedom and economic freedom equally which creates the "Human Freedom Index."

What criteria do you have a problem with for each index?

Saying I'm "wrong" because you dont like what I say and coming up with legitimate arguments to show why I am wrong are two very different things.
You have failed to even address the points.

Recognizing that a government enforcing the whims of the mob on everyone else is not the definition of freedom does not mean I am saying whatever strawman you feel like coming up with, no.
A number of freedom/liberty restricting policies have had majority support. a majority or plurality voting for a policy or politician does not inherently make whatever policies that are enacted conducive with freedom. This shouldn't be a difficult concept.

Fabricating stories about what I believe and then calling me delusional and unintelligent is really quite something. You are the village idiot.

I'm saying the CATO index is far better than the shit leftist one that fender posted. They are at least using metrics related to actual freedom.

I disagreed with portraying them as the ultimate libertarian think tank. They are not.

Well, they are "ultimate" in the sense that they are by FAR the most influential think tank for libertarian thought. The Ludwig von Mises Institute for instance has far fewer media references, less money, less traffic, etc.

Is this 2020 or 2018? Having Hong Kong on this list at this point should honestly be disqualifying.

That's a lot of words to say very little, you still have not addressed the fact that money in lobbying is restricting freedom.. because right libertarianism is an abomination that only cares about the rights and freedom of the oligarchs.
Which is why you have to keep dodging because admitting this fact will reveal how mortally bankrupt your belief system truly is.

2018. That's why I said HK is no longer applicable.

Dishonest and stupid are not good character traits.

You are lying about my beliefs and libertarianism because you can't refute my points or libertarianism. Not worth my time arguing with such a dishonest low IQ individual.

Another dodge, you support money in politics, YOU said this less than a page ago..
You are doddging the fact that money in politics is a major restrictor on the freedom of anyone who is not wealthy.. because you are a dishonest hack.
Stop dodging and lying and address my point.


"Lobbyists are merely a symptom of massive government power. Banning formal lobbying does not remove that power and doesn't remove people from influencing politicians to support bad policies and undue benefits.
The ability to petition government is in the first amendment. Banning it is not the epitome of freedom." Cam - the liar.

You have dodged every point and have resorted to blatantly lying.

Nothing I have said is dishonest or a lie.
