who are the kinky people getting some covert kick out of "spy on me"?

Are they the folks who have internalized the system so much that they want the government to be like god and Santa? He knows when you are sleeping. He knows when you are awake. He knows when you've been good or bad, so be good for goodness sake!

Fear motivated acquiescence to loss of privacy and rights may be a syndrome that results from the incessant and constant manipulation and public relations that stream through this culture like a Fascist river of denial.

Do some people feel, subtly, that being spied on is a way to get some attention or have some insignificant importance? Is this how people who are not being payed attention to, (as a majority) by their government and "representatives" can assuage that sense of being ignored?

Who knows, but one can speculate on such an odd phenomena. Yeah, I know, fear, fear, fear, we must be safe in this dangerous world!!! It's a fetish, nonetheless.
