I know… so hopeless. The real challenge is to get people to actually care and… they don’t. Plain and simple. We do. We are in the minority. Most people have the mindset of “Well, I have nothing to hide so I don’t care.”

I’ll drop this remix of a classic here. It’s as appropriate as ever:

First they came for the Whistleblowers, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Whistleblower.

Then they came for the Boing Boing Readers, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Boing Boing Reader.

Then they came for the Linux Users, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Linux User.

Then they came for people who mocked the NSA, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not mocking the NSA.

Then they came for the Jews (they always eventually come for the Jews even when Jews think they are mainstream), and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
