If you're paying taxes in the US, you would probably hate this concept, b/c:

You spend something like 25% of your work life (taxes) to pay for something that works against you (mass surveillance). Then you start trowing stones at it while continuing to work for it.



Nah, doesn't make sense. According to this fighting nazism while being German wouldn't have make sense in 1930s because you pay taxes.


What I mean is:

We also need to start getting rid of the root of the problem, not only try to fight some symptoms (patching holes is OK for the short term).


Again, similar to Nazi Germany in 1930s. If you have a democratic society where 90% voters are against freedom and vote for all the wars are in favor of all the BS -- there is only this much you can do.
