I agree. They should suffer. Boycott the whole fucking American tech industry. The problem is there aren't too many other options, and most other governments suck too. The German government requires backdoors at any ISPs with more that 10K subscribers and has installed malware on on their citizens' computers. The Swedish government watches all internet traffic that crosses its borders. GCHQ is worse than the NSA. And the less developed countries have generally more corrupt governments, although their technical capabilities may be lower. I still like the idea of home hosting. It's the cheapest and the most legally, technically, and physically secure. There is a lot of criticism of Truecrypt. http://www.privacylover.com/encryption/analysis-is-there-a-backdoor-in-truecrypt-is-truecrypt-a-cia-honeypot/ https://tails.boum.org/doc/encryption_and_privacy/truecrypt/ I doubt it has been reviewed as thoroughly as LUKS/dm-crypt, whose developers are known. Most security savvy people have a negative view of it, including the Tor Project people. I also wouldn't trust Windows or OS X for anything, since they are closed source operating systems made by corporations that work with the American government, including the NSA, whether they want to or not.
