MAGA is a nationalist movement, so obviously it doesn't apply to the whole globe, but each country (in the West and elsewhere) have their own nationalist movements.

I'm from Denmark, and we were first-movers in Europe on "anti-wokeness" since our election in 2003 (before the term existed). Interestingly, as Europe has moved more to the right in recent years, the wave has been quietly receding a bit here.

Other countries outside of the North Atlantic West also have intense nationalist and "anti-woke" movements (Duterte, Bolsonaro, Milei, Putin, etc.) which do their own anti-woke policing, sometimes literally, through law.

In general, my feeling is that the main actual threat to free speech globally is nationalist "anti-woke" movements.
