Re: So, just another day in the office...?
"So, you're saying that privacy advocates are now staunch Leftists?"
Yes.
See, here's how this works: right wingers are all about their own privacy. Those on the left care about everyone's privacy. It's really not that hard to work out. If you're on the right, your philosophy is "if I've got mine, then nobody else matters". If you're on the left, your life philosophy is "we all go together".
So absolutely, there are right wing privacy advocates, but what they are advocating is privacy for them, and whatever group they self-identify with. Anyone who is not a member of that group shouldn't have privacy, and should probably be demonized and dehumanized so that the authorities "do it to Julia" instead of them.
Leftists are all about pesky concepts like "universal human rights" that apply to everyone regardless of what identifiable group they're part of.
