New Zealand is a socialist state that locked its people down harder than anywhere in the world and had one of the most restrictive vax mandates around. Semi automatic weapons were banned. Not sure how you’ve reached that conclusion. And anywhere with hate speech laws is immediately off the list. I’m genuinely curious why you think these places are more free than the US. And yes, the U.S. is not free either. But compared to the places you listed, I’m scratching my head.
