it's really sad how young online political activists have adopted privacy issues instead of adopting issues like workers rights, vacation time, pay, a strong welfare state, universal healthcare etc...
Generally they have adopted a lot of those, but privacy is kind of our specialisation as tech people. Often we see it as a necessary prerequisite to the others. Especially worker's rights: mass surveillance is used against worker organisation.
Dismissing people focusing on "X" instead of "Y" is useless and disruptive.
Why would he be capable of only addressing one issue at a time? If I fight against racial discrimination, for example, why does that mean I'm not also battling for workers' rights?
