> You won't get to hear about how the trial turns out from your grave.

Well, in contrast to you, I plan to enjoy my life instead of wasting it by worrying about some possible bad actor spying on me, which is what I'm must read is how you spend your life.

Sure, fight the NSA by engaging a little bit politically, and buying the right things. But apart from that, don't worry so much, man.

I'm not worried (edit: about anything immediate), I'm not failing to partake in anything that I ever would, and I don't live any differently than I ever have. You're projecting something onto me, and that's not a great way to have a productive discussion.

Well, when you say

> You won't get to hear about how the trial turns out from your grave

that's equally projecting something onto me, so... that's not a great way to have a productive discussion neither.

Do you think I'm accusing you of having been hit by a car? I'm not. It was an analogy.

Let me guess: you are a straight white dude with a comfortable income.

Tangential, but I think it's high time for someone to raise awareness about the discrimination of white straight males by all those social justice warriors everywhere. Seriously, no matter what we do or say, we're overprivileged and the source of all evil. sigh
