    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?

    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.

      You know, that guy made it to the opsec briefs now. They didn’t go into why he posted them online though.

    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.

      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.
