My country does not have a 1st amendment, but ok?

My country does not have free speech. It has some of the most stringent copy right laws in the world. It also has defamation laws that have been used to suppress truthful reports.

Police are allowed to hold you indefinitely with no justification. (Technically they are limited to 30days) They are allowed, and constantly refuse to allow you access to a legal representative.

They are allowed to force you to confess to a crime you never committed.

Politicians get away with corruption, and secure votes through the use of cults.

I know what it looks like when the current dominating party was created by a literal Class A Warcriminal from WW2.

These anti- encryption laws make life even worse. The last thing we have here is a semblance of privacy.

I do not want, or need 1st world countries such as Britain or Spain to give an example for my government to follow.
