That is a very machivellian attitude. I don't believe that hurting people who aren't a threat in the name of "progress" is justified, even if it were somehow a shortcut to utopia, which it's not.

Eh, anyone who knows what "Install an add-on from a repo" means also knows how to install firefox despite it being "censored".

Maybe referring to china's treatment of minorities? Though usually when people say "extreme left" they are referring to scary groups like public transit advocates.

That list doesn't work anymore. UBO throws a network error.

There is this list, which is not the same one from BPC but has been recommended to me before.

On Android it's easier to just use the version in the Firefox add-on store:

Bin Laden was "from" within the borders of the Saudi Arabian (Sunni) state but he was a Shiite pan-islamist and a lot of Al Quaeda's support came from Iran, a major enemy of Saudi Arabia.

This is just to say it's much more complicated than "Saudis did 9/11", and maps like this grossly oversimplify things when they put Arab peoples into the types of cultural boxes westerners are used to seeing. It doesn't apply here.

It's not that hard. The easiest way to start is probably get qBittorrent, which has built-in search of several major torrent sites at once.

Agreed I do pretty much the same.

I'm not sure what you're asking exactly, but the reason older and niche content is harder/slower to find sometimes is because there are fewer people out there sharing ("seeding") the files.

You could probably install a home server management software like TrueNAS Homearr or CasaOS on your Pi and just download the "apps" that way.

The large files are such better quality, though (if you care about such things and have a TV that allows you to appreciate the extra detail).

Torrenting will have everything you want within 48hrs (at the longest) as long as your tastes are relatively current and mainstream. If you are into older or more niche content you'll still likely need Criterion or Canopy etc.
