Luckily we don't need everyone to be on board to defeat the surveillance state. Just need enough special interests (EFF, ACLU, tech community, a loud vocal minority) and money. The game has to be played like any other lobby.

That very much depends. For encryption to work, you literally need everyone on board. You depend on society doing it, too. So better start educating people about it.
