What's wild to me is that when talking with friends about this, they think these actions are okay. They often reply with "I don't do anything wrong, so if it helps the government stop a terrorist attack, then I'm okay with it." I don't know how to get them to see the problems with this.

I guess the problem is they don't think it will happen to them. When it does it's too late.
I imagine the Canadian truckers didn't think they would have their bank accounts frozen but it did happen.
Useful idiots and lemmings. It is a very frustrating conversation, I think it's just learned helplessness and Stockholm syndrome.
My experience as well. This is so far off everyone's radar that I see on a day to day basis. Its exhausting and depressing at times.
Heard that before
Some day when its too late theyll realize that,
"why do you need privacy if you have nothing to hide?" Actually translates to
"Why do you need dignity if you have nothing to hide?"
The founding fathers were British terrorists. Too many people forget this.
Yeah, but none of those policies has stopped a terrorist attack!
Because more often than not, the government is directly or indirectly involved in creating those attacks. Game theory tells us that from a government perspective terror attacks have much more upsides than downsides.
Unfortunately the same applies to Bitcoin vs Monero.
Either everybody is covered by default privacy or none is, as the few can easily be singled out.
It's the only time where the herd indeed gives security.
Tell them the simple fact about the sociopath infiltration. Process. In other words any order so we'll constructed that the sociopath can't destroy from the outside. They infiltrate to assume it's power.
