It is a mix with a tendency to sandbox, in which I direct the "general lines" and some scenes, and other GM/players direct their own scenes that will be free as long as it is not said otherwise.

I do not know, enjoying a fun time together and create a common story? I do not know all the players.

I dont know, things that could happen in the real world even if only through staggering shifts in opinion or revolutionary discoveries?

If we accept the literality of the word (and it depends on what it means "to win") the good guys are almost condemned to lose, it is the price of being good. You can not be good and win.

The game? I do not know, Darwinian style with the typical phrase of the survival of the fittest?

A mix, but most players do not want to complicate their lives.
