At it's basis, 'nothing to hide' is yet another shinning example of the American propaganda machine. When it comes to propaganda, America has no equals. In a lot of 'closed' countries, their citizens are usually aware that their government is full of shit and oppressive. They just duck their heads and try not to raise suspicion. The American public eats it up and regurgitates ad nauseam.
However, when you start relating their everyday actions to privacy, anonymity, they do realize that yes, they do demand privacy in their daily lives. It's just that there is a disconnect between real life and digital life, in people's minds and it takes a total rethink for them to realize, in this time line we are in, there really isn't/shouldn't be a difference between the two.
Your marklar are wise.
