That's the surprise we've got in many countries in the last decade or two. Turns out there's a lot of people all around the "west" who want nazi and tribalist governments despite their history and identity being in plain sight.
Microsoft wants GPG/PGP dead and if it isn't in outlook, corporate won't use it and if corporate don't use it, there's no business incentive for services either.
Absolutely not. A two party system was barely nominally a form of democracy. Current government walks like a dictatorship and quacks like a dictatorship. They might hold a fake election one day like many of those do, but still no.
That's right. That's the feature I'd really like to see a free as in freedom implementation for.
