"You can't fight city hall". But you can fight your neighbors. We accept the government's monopoly in some spaces, like enforcement, taxation or surveillance. But we may not accept that our neighbors can exercise those same powers.

Alternatively, one petty neighbor may not symbolize a trend.

What if your government is comprised of your petty neighbors, and now with the full capability to surveil you beyond just what you say in your garden? Stop accepting that monopoly on surveillance, it does not need to exist.
