You fail to grasp the key point here:

If the state cannot break your encryption, they will break you instead.

Which makes your whole argument sound like:

"I'm such a coward! Please take my private data, just don't hurt me!"

Belive it or not, but some people actually have balls to fight evil governments.

Really, it struck me as escalating to an implicit threat. Don't do anything that would actually undermine efforts at mass surveillance, like promote mass use of encryption, or something will happen to you.
