But in the meantime, there are far right, well, fascists trying to amass more and more power.

The problem there is, the DNC are the very people helping promote these far right fascists in an attempt to foster that attitude of lesser-evil-ism. There's been a bunch of leaks on that topic, but still by far the most prominent was 2016 Trump (if you want to know more about that, google "pied piper trump hillary"), and there's no reason to think they've stopped.

I don't know what the solution is. Voting for any good candidates in local elections, and green in the general (unless one of the other parties does something to earn your vote) maybe? But the problem is so entrenched that I'm not sure it even can be solved by voting. Situation just sucks in general.

I have to preface this by saying I’m voting for Biden

And this is why things will not change. Why should he, or any DNC member, do anything for you? You have given up the one bit of leverage you have, your vote, and promised it to your designated betters no matter what they do to you and how much they sold you out.

Ah, the classic "nothing to hide" response.

How did that quote go again? "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime"? Even things you think may be innocuous can and will be used against you if given reason to.

I'm also on Librewolf, but most people are not all that tech-savvy, so basic Firefox is better for them just because it has auto-update.

Firefox user here. Vivaldi is the best chromium-based browser I've found, so I use it for sites that refuse to work with non-chromium browsers.

Blue Blocker is a great extension for anyone still using Twitter.

That's how the corporate-written laws in the USA handle it most likely. The EU actually has some amount of consumer protection. Burying it in a 100 page terms of service document doesn't count as consent either.

Ghostery, Privacy Badger, etc, are all redundant if you have ublock origin anyway. uBO blocks all the stuff they block, and having multiple blockers makes it more likely they'll interfere with each other.

Saved you a click: New Zealand and the Philippines are the countries.

Nah. They're lax about loli. Which, as distasteful as it is, does not involve any harm to actual children. They do go after actual CSAM.
