I think Europe has more personal freedom. They don't have such strict laws there regarding things like alcohol, nudity, "hate crimes" and private proprty. But when it comes to things like free speech and press, Europe doesn't really have that.

Depends what you define as free. Most European nations are overtaxed and underworked. But if they enjoy that then that's thier choice. They know thier continued existence of freedom is guaranteed by the protection of Nato. So it's easy for them to take this attitude

Free? Not much in life is free money speaking. Although I guess tuere are a few tfree things or at least cheap things.
Freedom as in rights? Yes most of Europe especially EU is one of the most free places on earth.

15min cities, lack of freedom of speech, banning gas cars, banning protests, lack of anything approaching 2A, taxed out the ass, Europe isn't exactly a shining beacon of human rights.

  What? This looks like total bullshit sorry. Maybe more specific examples with sources would be good.
  I mean technically part of russia is Europe so if you count that I can see some of it but other than that...

  Sources for what? You think EU has 1A or 2A? You think the Brits allow protests? You think Scandinavian tax rates of +50% are reasonable?

Depends on where you go. Europe is a big place with a lot of variety. Some places are objectively more free than someplace like USA where as others are pretty damn regressive.

Just compare Europe‘s incarceration rates with that of the United States and you see in a second who is more free.

Europe is a big place with a lot of variety, but I think most of it is relatively speaking

That would depend on your definition of freedom. I think Western Europe is about as free as you're ever going to get in the real world.

No, they can lock you up for "offensive speech" there. Fascism never died there it just drapes itself in a pride flag.

Depends what u mean by free, statistically the US is the least free country in the west as it has more incarcerated citizens by percentage than any other.

Not at all. They will come to your house and sometimes arrest you for having non-state-sanctioned opinions.

Though the US isn't as free as we like to claim, if that is of any relevance.
