I know that "we have it all" means everything is monitored and stored, so we have no privacy. I also know that my personal life is none of the business of "white hats" — or anyone else not directly involved. As long as I am not involved in anything that brings me into their militarised realm of organised crime and insurrection, then it doesn't matter. Any meddling in our lives is not on us. It also means there is no expectation of special treatment or rescue: I am accountable for my own actions, and have to experience the consequences. Now, if someone wanted to whack me for my Q-themed work, that is different. I am due protection from what is essentially a non-civilian attack by foreign enemy forces. It's not me getting my comeuppance due to being a bit wayward or partying too hard. I am due certain rights like free speech, and it's OK to protect them with force.
