For the index, a total of 210 countries and territories were analyzed on their levels of access to political rights and civil liberties, before being categorized as either “free”, “partly free” or “not free”. While democracy has been in decline for nearly two decades, the global landscape has improved since the report was first published 51 years ago. Back then, 44 out of 148 countries were counted as "free", versus 81 out of 210 countries and territories today.

That picture demonstrates the value of quasi-garbling a signal.
Three broad categories gets the point across nicely, without getting bogged down in gradations.

The idea of true freedom and true democracy is a fantasy!

This type of study is quite interesting, to certify many things that I usually comment on among my family and friends. We are fortunate to have been born in a place in the world where in a certain way we can be "ungovernable and free." I live in South America - Peru. And I say in a certain way, because we all know that totally escaping systematic control is very very complicated and difficult. Maybe we can partially free ourselves from them. But in one way or another in the end, we are still in the system. Thanks to Bitcoin today we can 100% dominate that partiality that escapes the control of the state. And every day I seek to live as free as possible within this rotten system -Let it be maintained by others! I'm out-.

Asking ourselves what democracy is in itself seems quite illogical and empty to me!! since I consider ourselves to be intelligent and thinking adults" on the other hand according to the graph the world is halfway... and it really surprises me that it is like that... I thought there was more freedom (more countries) is what I mean... I like articles like this with graphs and numbers it is much better understood!👍

How interesting, it can be said that half the world lives under governments where citizens' freedoms are partially or totally limited. In Cuba, for example, where I live, you can ask if you live in a system that deprives you of your civil liberties and perhaps you will find a large percentage that will say no; and this happens because, unlike any of the other states where human rights are violated, in Cuba psychology has been used a lot to make people believe that the state is the giver of everything and that it looks after the well-being of citizens. This experiment has been going on for more than 60 years.

I consider democracy to be an illusion imposed on the plebs to make us believe that we had a voice and a vote. Since long ago, when slavery was abolished, and since the feudal and monarchical systems were abolished, which determined that when a person was born a peasant, he remained a peasant, and a person born in a blacksmith's house would be a blacksmith, or in the house of kings would be a prince. Since that social system was illusorily abolished, and obviously I call it an illusion because it is well known that these systems still persist in many corners of the world. Since they supposedly let people be what they wanted to be, and since they supposedly gave power to the people, that is how they trapped everyone in that illusion. And they captured us with the new model of slavery, the slave worker model if you are not good at reading and doing math, and the prepared slave worker model (those who have a university degree) and in this way the same people as always continued to govern, and making everyone believe that they were part of the decisions taken for the common people, since they supposedly choose their political leaders in democracy 🎭
