I better example might be freedom from surveillance. It's a totally fringe lifestyle to not be tracked everywhere you go, at least in a developed country.
But your rhetoric might be useful for shooting down privacy advocates during the next dust-up. Privacy may have been common in the past but now its fringe, just like animal sacrifice. Key escrow is the future!
- bombcar 3y agoWhat's sad is the "fringe privacy" lifestyle has been getting easier and easier, because so many privacy invading things assume you have a GPS enabled phone on you at every moment, and are constantly connected to the Internet. Make those two untrue and it's like you never existed.

You're proving GP's point, that was the norm in developed countries 100 years ago and to a relative degree 50 years ago. The organs of the state and of capital which effected surveillance or tracking were tiny and isolated compared to what they are now.
