Most studies? Citation needed
- stackedinserter 5y agoDo you think that people in the country where you live got more liberties over the last 5 years? I don't need any citations to clearly see that we (Canadians) didn't.

Freedom, for instance, falls into the category of "glittering generality": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glittering_generality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glittering_generality More clarification might help.
- stackedinserter 5y ago> Freedom, for instance, falls into the category of "glittering generality" This is just someone's opinion.

It's also why one of the most common essays since written word has existed is complaining about how everything is going downhill. This is why unbiased, scientific studies are important to inform our intuition.
