The CIA openly admits to spying on people around the world and everyone's reaction is now 'Oh you'

Somehow (constant media propaganda most likely) they've convinced people that to do ANYTHING you have to get your hands dirty; that 'ANYTHING' however is rarely or only slightly in our benefit, it's of a bigger benefit to an elite few instead. Even if you ascribe to 'the ends justify the means', the ends aren't worth it and the means are just getting more and more horrific and we're assuming the imperial boomerang isn't on its way back.

From what i gather from talking to people is that

A: they don't care Or B: I'm paranoid and it doesn't matter.

I do not understand how people just give up their privacy for nothing
