It isn't a theory as much as a religion, requiring faith rather than any kind of facts as to problem or proposed solution. Welcome to the inquisition.

I think you robo-posted to the wrong thread bud.

#edit then in that case you'd think the post would be judged as having no value and be downvoted.... oh wait, that would require a lack of hypocrisy.

Welcome to HN, where your comments aren't censored, but insead they are 'groomed' by those who consistently cherish 'valuable' conversations by pandering to 'karma' points.

The 'correct' dialog is to discuss how it's natural for our systems of governance to want to spy on everyone, and the 'correct' actions fall between accepting this or petitioning our masters to roll back 'some' of these advances.

Your individual outrage is of no value to the collective.

Interesting, but I doubt it would go far in helping anything. You can't cut and disperse the cancer growing inside of the US Government and expect anything to be solved or fixed, it needs to be uprooted and burned. Would any of this address secret courts, police brutality, domestic propaganda, or corruption? It'll have to be all at once, otherwise it's just rearranging the furniture in our cell.
