Authoritarianism gets a face

Criticism of Oxfam Sweden's global equality index, which was presented on October 22, 2024, has been massive on X. In a post to the criticism, Oxfam Sweden responds to the quote "Several debaters want to discredit our global equality index by strategically taking numbers out of context." unquote. Exactly what Oxfam Sweden is accused of doing themselves.

The X-thread ends from Oxfam Sweden's side with the quote "If you are going to use the index, our method is the only way it is possible to read the index." unquote.

That sentence sums up the entire report. Oxfam Sweden could just as well have written under no circumstances can you add essential facts we chose to withhold in order to reach the desired result.
