I’m not actually blaming the jerks (which is rather pointless, jerks will be jerks), I’m blaming governments for ostensibly believing jerks don’t exist and asking nicely is enough.

You’re basically asking for authoritarianism. Becareful doing this.

There are plenty of places you can find that outside the US.
