The very idea of “nothing to hide” is born from fear.
It’s fundamentally a self-sabotaging philosophy. If I have nothing to hide, why do I need to be surveilled?

yeah kind of like how even on Reddit we have to think twice before saying what’s REALLY on our minds
I got permabanned once for telling someone to crawl into a hole.
I got permabanned a second time and fully quit reddit after bringing up the double standards of infant genital mutilation practices.

Some more than others.
No, you don’t get it. They never said that they’ve got nothing to hide. So the rule must be that if you’ve got nothing to hide, spying is okay. But if you have something to hide, it’s not okay. That means that it’s okay to spy on you, but not okay to spy on criminals. Huh. This rule seems rather useless.
“So in reversion of argument, since it’s okay to spy on you because you have nothing to hide, spying on criminals is not ok, because they do have something to hide?”
Cleaned it up. Thanks for the argument!

I could hardly guess WTF theymfot means.
I have a lot to hide.
That is why I close the door when using a public rest room, otherwise people see my tiny penis and I get jailed for being an exhibitionist.
I’ve reported you for verbal exhibitionism
Well it would just be a miniweene–er, a misdemeanor

Hey they just wanted to win an argument on the War Thunder forums.
You know, that guy made it to the opsec briefs now. They didn’t go into why he posted them online though.
But…But… NATIONAL SECURITY!
The whole classification system needs reworking

I agree, but if you want to post politics please do it in c/politicalmemes, rule 2
Every meme is political
yeah but it’s the amount that matters:
even if I have a few molecules from einstein’s brain in me, that does not make me a genius
Man some of y’all are just wildin’ out.
YOU hired these people to keep secrets so that YOU could enjoy advantages over people from other nations. YOU spend a shit ton of money to make sure that they do a good job. YOU should be pissed when those things get leaked because your employees fucked up.
If you want us to be full disclosure with the Chinese and Russian governments (as well as everyone else). Start voting for that, and expect that your peers (other voters) are going to strongly disagree.
You’ve massively overestimated the amount of influence I have.
I think you might be missing the point of the meme.
It’s not that governments keeping secrets is bad. It’s that “You have nothing to hide” is problematic.
