No, I care about privacy for myself and others by extension in those areas where it affects me. For instance I also want the government to monitor all known fascists. I don't support privacy for the enemies of democracy.

    This is a good chance to self reflect.

    EVERYONE deserves privacy. Even your enemies.

    If one group of people can be labelled fascists and are therefore no longer entitled to privacy (from your example), what is stopping someone from labelling you a fascist and ending your right to privacy?

    I'll leave you with this poem, First They Came by Pastor Martin Niemöller: First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me
