What was suspected about government abuse of power turns out to have been nothing compared to the scope of it.
Here are some of my suggestions in response:
1. Stand up on mass, digitally and in person, for what you believe in - don't shy from people sneering or judging that you are distrustful of the existing structures of powers.
2. Exclude the people who support this type of spookery, from investment bankers, to hawking politicians, from polite company. Whether you meet them at a party, or a plane, shun and shame them.
3. Crank up the noise. Write, make, do what you can to get more stuff out there.
4. Don't be singular. Be the complexity.
5. Never believe again. Demand evidence, oversight, & review processes. Demand transparency.
6. Commit to fixing what's broken. Fix the drug wars, fix the election system, fix the income inequalities, fix the racial divide. etc.
7. ? what else?
ps. Any obligatory comments about the obligatory NSA jokes?
