I’m not comparing it to anything, I’m judging it at face value, and it doesn’t pass the smell test. It leads to countries with a one-party system getting scored +5 on pluralism. That ‘does not track’.

You can look into their methodology
I did, my opinion is that obviously that’s not a very smart way of conducting the questionnaire.

Thanks for the link, my point was that posting random pictures without context/methodology/sources is not very helpful.
So the questionnaire asks people how positive/negative they perceive the categories in their own country, I’m not really sure that methodology works very well for oppressive countries.

Did you read my dictionary link?

That’s your context, I brought mine. That’s what happens when context is missing (and that was OP’s point).

Linus Torvalds is a BDFL. dictator can have many meanings: www.dictionary.com/browse/dictator
Not all different meanings have to do with ‘me having my rights taken away’

You’re just missing context.

How about the Greek question mark: ; I still need to find an opportune moment to prank some collegues with that one.
- Comment on LinkedIn homepage swaps the "sign in" and "create account" buttons depending on whether you're a new or returning visitor 4 months ago:
My guess is they want the primary button to always be on the right side. For a first time visitor that primary action is always to create an account. If the user is a return visitor, they assume the user already has an account and so they want the primary action to be to login to that account.
I take it some UX-er got paid handsomely, but I think all it does is confuse people. As someone suggested already, I’d just go for login/register and make login primary (since you only register once, and login maybe hundreds of times after that)

Actually, hitting someone with a nail bat should be definitive proof they’re not a robot. (according to Asimov’s Laws)
Come to think of it, the nail-bat-test could replace those annoying captcha’s altogether!

That will definitely work, but I personally think the flags are more instantly recognizable.

No visual alternatives to flags were given. (And that’s because there aren’t any. Flags will do just fine for 99,99% of the public)

Are you familiar with the situation in the Netherlands? Because points OP raises are not really polarizing in the Netherlands. Maybe you’re for example misunderstanding the phrase ‘The illegals who have zero chance to get a refugee status’ ?
