Judging by your other comments, your intent is pretty clear but I'll bite.
I strongly disagree that governments are becoming more authoritarian, it's quite the opposite, governments are becoming more liberal and democratic, with the situation improving even in countries such as Libya, Egypt and Morocco. The only reason for why the situation seems bleak to some people is because access to information has become unhindered due to the Internet.

If the current goings-on in those countries forms the basis of your opinion then I think you might need to rethink your position
- bad_user 12y agoI'm not saying that Libya and Egypt are democracies, all I said is that the situation has been improving even there.
