Interviewer questions have shown more care about Snowden's personal drama instead of focusing on the issues of growing censorship and surveillance.
I wish people would stop donating money to twitch gamers and instead support journalists who investigate, setup tor-relays/seed-boxes and reduce the dependence on centralization.

When the market fails, the state has to chime in. Oh wait … nevermind.

Descriptive vs normative statements. Surprisingly difficult for people to differentiate between the two.

If you look at my comment, it even was normative, but the other way round. I called the situation a "problem".

There you go, some people obviously even have trouble looking at the comments :)
That's just the news cycle right?
Until another terrorist attack happens on a favored Western city, Westerners will be ambivalent about ISIL.
Until a newspaper prints another photo of a child dead in the sand, Westerners will be ambivalent about refugees.
The reality is, I think you're right. Sadly, for the majority of people, this is not an issue they care about.
