Telling that to normies would usually give me blanks stares and "nothing to hide" or "don't care" arguments.

My "but your situation my change" and "gov can turn bad" arguments never hit. People are terrible at projecting themselves. That's why climate change is so hard to fight. It's too far and abstract.

Humans need to feel concrete and awful pain to realize their mistake and learn.

But I'm hoping the Trump situation is going to cause that. Now that the US is at the brink of dictatorship (some might argue it's already there), maybe American citizens will realize that putting their entire life on a centralized platform, having non encrypted communications and spying devices everywhere is a terrible idea.

I'm not very optimistic though.

And even if they do, in 3 generations, they will have forgotten. I have no idea how to fix this.
