    I wish I were on the drugs you are to find the reason in the obviously logically flawed and contradictory madness you keep making of this.

    But if you need to keep telling yourself that espionage is OK just because some governments engage in some forms of mass surveillance, then I can’t stop you from making a fool of yourself by saying so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I still think that both are bad, and I still find it pretty easy to argue both points without conflating the two logically fallaciously.

    Thing is, even if we don’t agree, I think you could do better arguing either or both points without conflating the two. And I think you’d be more convincing, if you didn’t rely on conflating them. That’s what I’m trying to say, is that you’re not really wrong on one point, the other is logically fallacious, but that you’re wrong for trying to say that they’re related.
