The amount of idiots siding with the brazilian judge is retarded. I remember when banning vpns was a sign of a totalitarian regime

When will people get it through their head that this isn't about being logically consistent on a philosophical position? It's about defeating an enemy. This is tribal warfare. It's good if I do it, it's bad if you do it. That's always how it's going to be so don't be shocked every time it's exactly that.
Good post. Correct on all accounts. Only thing I would add is that some leftists do care about being morally and logically consistent like the right but because they see the right as such a threat, they fail to see their own hypocrisy while suggesting it's actually different because... and the right-wing actually does something quite similar. The left even tries to attack the right with the right's hypocrisy. Many right-wingers laugh at it because they don't understand how it's hypocrisy, which is what the left does when the right points it out because both sides are so dialed into their bubble of reality, they don't understand the other side's perspective.
I understand both sides only because I was a staunch leftist who even argued for communism before I switched to a staunch right-winger who has now actually dialed back to basically neither anymore. I don't really have a group anymore. I think both sides are pretty damn fucked and don't serve my interests.
Anyway, the other thing I wanted to add is that the right is losing as you say because the right doesn't understand many of the values/beliefs they hold dear are subverted values literally created by their enemies specifically designed to handicap them so they can't win. If you were a slave master, wouldn't you teach your slaves that they shouldn't have moral values that pose any threat to the masters? That's exactly the kinds of morals most right-wingers have. Moral values that pose 0 threat to the controllers of society such that nothing will change even with right-wingers running the government. Many of the values right-wingers hold are values that wouldn't fundamentally change society at all but would just keep society progressing in the exact same way it is now, albeit with a slightly different flavor but at a fundamental level, hardly anything would change and we'd still be headed in the same direction as a civilization as we're going now. Most right-wingers are equally opposed to actual fundamental changes to our society's culture that would change the course of civilization entirely in the same way leftists are against changing these fundamental values/beliefs. If neither side wants to change these fundamental values/beliefs then both sides are basically the same thing wearing different colored uniforms and putting their dicks in different holes.
