Your belief that no one has the right to privacy because you feel personally feel uncomfortable interacting with people you don't know is not a very convincing argument for the explicit support of a core tenet of fascism.

I could not begin to fathom what lead you to have this level of trust issue, even with unimportant conversation between complete strangers, but every anecdote you have described is a deeply personal issue of your own, not a justification for any change in society.

Wow, way to completely lose the plot. You didn't respond to a single thing I said, and what you're claiming I'm saying wasn't what I said at all. Like, where did I say no one had a right to privacy? I didn't. What I said was if everyone utilized privacy the way you and others in this thread are advocating for, the world would be even more distrustful than it is today, that I think the downsides of increasingly ubiquitous privacy vastly outweigh the upsides. I also think that the majority of the world agrees more with me than you, given the lack of the visceral reaction you seemed to expect from TFA. That lack of reaction would at least indicate they don't agree with you, even if they don't agree with me, either.

Like, it's perfectly fine if you want to share nothing with the world rest of the world. I'll just consider you to be a wildly selfish individual (because your position amounts to "fuck you I got mine"), and probably not interact with you unless I can avoid it. But please, consider the consequences of your philosophy, both good and bad! I feel like you're trying to avoid addressing the downsides with this deflection. After all, you'd apparently rather call me a fascist and put words in my mouth than even bring attention to these downsides.

You kind of missed the mark with this response entirely. Maybe it's the halo effect (or whatever the inverse is), but when you and others who share your beliefs respond like this, you're really not making me trust you all that much, which means I also will think even less of your beliefs.

Maybe reflect on that, too? If you want to advocate for privacy, you'd do a lot more good if you actually came across as an attractive individual.

Cool, way to discount my entire lived experience entirely out of hand. You could, you know, try some empathy, and consider that I'm likely just as intelligent and learned as you are (or maybe even more so? Again, with internet anonymity the way it is, who can tell?)
