I guess it depends on how you look at it. From my view, all governments always have tyrannical intentions at their core. Their sole purpose is to be a vehicle for parasites to leech on all normal people and that doesn't change fundamentally country to country.

This is not 0 or 1. There is a wide range in the used Tyranny. Just watch how some countries reacted to the Covid. Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc. gone crazy with the used tyrannical force, but Florida, Belarus, Russia etc. nearly nothing. Other countries were situated between these extremes. So, the repression applied in the case of a country is not 0 or 1.
Sure, no argument there. Although literally all of the countries (except maybe North Korea) enforced movement restrictions between them, you literally couldn't cross any international borders unless you complied with medical tyranny and stuck things in your holes.
