    Cynicism is a self-fulfilling prophesy. If everything’s bad then there’s no reason to care, and if nobody cares then everything will be bad.

    For things to get better, or not get worse, cynics depend on others to care about those things. To me that feels terribly like freeloading.

      Just because someone chooses not to be a privacy advocate, I don’t think that means it is universally accepted that they are “freeloading”.

      Usually the people who I see make these kinds of arguments are the ones that don’t participate in normal society and live in a bubble, and pretend capitalism isn’t necessary for most people to live their lives.
