You can fight and win. The government is not omnipotent. Just don't expect to run a company under the protection of the government. 1. Use Linux or a similar OS and use full-disk encryption. Truecrypt has a hidden os function built in (http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=hidden-operating-system http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=hidden-operating-system). Maybe the government knows how to crack it, but they won't for bring it out for minor things like kiddy porn, drug trafficking, lone-wolf terrorists. The only time this gets used is when there is a suitcase nuke en-route to DC. 2. The USA lost in Vietnam. The USA/British Empire/USSR have lost in Afghanistan. With the support of the local population, the army is useless to stop revolutionaries. The population is not going to care about government crimes until the government is shooting people/turns off cellphones&tv&internet. When that happens you have what happened in the Middle East and might happen in Turkey.
