      Yeah but you’d think if they cared about themselves, they’d realize how this hurts them long-term, too. These people don’t exactly have a history of taking personal security very seriously.

      I think, really, the point is that they’re too short-sighted to see how this impacts more than just the people surveilled.

        “Maybe if we just explain it to them more cogently, they will come to their senses.” This sounds like a Sorkin-esque West Wing perspective on how things work. They are not dimwitted or confused. They can see just fine.

          Haha. No.

          Politicians are probably the most short sighted dipshits around.

          The sociopathic shitheels that were born into fuck-you money? Sure. Well, not counting morons like Elon, et Al, of course.
