Unless you live in a third-world country, I don't think you have to worry much, especially if you live a very uncontroversial life.

Most 3rd world countries aren't advanced enough to catch you anyways. I'd be more worried in parts of the EU or UK

  In 3rd world countries they don't care about piracy, drug dealing, or inappropriate content, but they do care about what you're saying about government. In first world countries it's the exact opposite, you can openly criticize government, hell you can make fun of politicians, but better watch out when looking for pirated content.

> Unless you live in a third-world country... Funny how some people fantasize all the autocratic, dystopian shit must always be going down in the "third world". Too much Hollywood.

  Would you rather have a judicial "miscalculation" happen to you in the US or Iran?

    The US will happily execute someone who could very well be innocent. Robert Robertson is currently alive on a technicality[0].

        How? Spouting off the name of a logical fallacy is not a good faith response

        Because spouting off the name of one person wrongfully convicted is meaningless. I didn't deny there are miscarriages of justice in any country. Iran's civil rights record is among the bottom in the world, bested only by NK and other hell holes.

  I think there is a basis for such worry, "Why Nation Fails" highlight the aspects of corruption and non-independent/transparent judiciary system and absue of police force as a big reasons why countries fail. And if you want to compare western police force corruption to others, I invite you to check what happened in egypt 10 yo.
