    Nobody ignores the fact that government is doing something illegal when the conversation about their rampant spying happens. You may just be late to the party. We all know it’s illegal, unethical, and immoral. It basically comes down to this:

    What are you going to do about it?

    We’re living in objectively dystopian times. Our government does illegal shit literally all the time and gets away with it.

      What are you going to do about it?

      The very least people can do is talk about it and acknowledge it’s bad.

      Acceptance and normalization support the other side.

        My generation has talked it to death. It’s pretty agreed upon that we’re being fucked and have very little power to stop it. Eventually you don’t have time to rehash all the heinous shit that happens because you realize there’s a constant deluge of it. Has nothing to do with “supporting the other side” lol. If reality has got you feeling insane, well, you’re on the right track.
