[...] Merely organizing movements of dissent becomes difficult when the government is watching everything people are doing.

An essential deceit: that dissent from institutional authority involves a moral or ideological choice, while obedience does not. With that false premise in place, society pays great attention to the motives of dissenters, but none to those who submit to our institutions.
