I think people are confusing your statement of the situation as endorsement of the situation.

The reality is, I think you're right. Sadly, for the majority of people, this is not an issue they care about.

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.
