A new report has found serious concerns about the state of global democracy as more countries slip in democratic performance.

Global patterns show that democracy around the world continued to weaken last year, according to a new report.

The Global State of Democracy 2025, published by the Stockholm-based International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA), analyzed democratic performance in 173 countries in 2024.

In the report, 94 countries — or just over half of those surveyed — showed a decline in at least one of the key democracy indicators between 2019 and 2024, the report said. In comparison, only a third made progress.

    Yeah but I don’t give a shit about 4chan and anyone who can’t ride the fine edge of sarcasm and knowing will be outed after a few posts and then bosh they get the block. Besides, it’s like explaining the joke. It’s less fun.

      That’s not what I mean. I mean if you’re sarcastically an asshole, assholes use your comment to recruit kids into thinking this is a normal way to act. The /s isn’t so you don’t attract nazis or attract them to the platform. It’s so they can’t use your lame joke to make the world an actively worse place to be.

      Sarcasm really only works in juxtaposition to who you are as a person. This is the internet, I don’t know who the fuck you are. Kinda ruins the humour if you think about it for more than two seconds.
