Oddly enough, people have multiple priorities in life. For most people their economic prospects or issues related to freedom of choice, or stopping abortion happen to be far more important than what the NSA does. These people are not confused as to what they think is important. As surprising as that may seem to the HN echo chamber. More generally, I'd note that actual political change often takes decades of struggle. One sees a lot of bitching on this topic, but very little "I sent a check to EFF" and even less "We are organizing for action is this way." I doubt anyone startup success is attributable to actionless moaning.
