Hmm, nah I don't think people understand that they created NSA. It is them and their neighbor living in quiet area paying taxes where government want to keep them quiet and keep paying.
This way of things is giving birth to idealism and naivete. Just like people living in cities are idealistic and naive about life of cattle and poultry.
You don't want innocent chicken to be killed, but it is tasty.
You don't want innocent person to be kept in hidden prison, but you feel safer.
They all would like to close down the farms or agencies that deal with bad stuff, but once they will be hungry enough that they will have to kill an animal or will be faced with actual violence, they will change their mind right away. (I bet they will want someone else to deal with such things)
If someone lives comfy life he can be oblivious.
But on the other hand that is also beneficial for society because people in first world countries can focus on growing their interests and don't mind that bad stuff.
In the end if I would have to kill chickens for food every day I could not learn software development. So I am grateful I don't have to. I am also grateful that I don't have to deal with criminal people every day, because also I probably would not have time to do software development (most likely I would be dead before my 20th birthday).
