Right, and once we get past these basic needs and wants, we move onto other things.

One of these other things is financial freedom, freedom requires a degree of privacy. (The freedom to be private)

I can see you are a genuine guy and not a troll you have some beliefs , unfortunately you just have a "means ends" confusion here:

lets look at the "means ends" issue:

Freedom of privacy comes about by "small government" that could be a good argument right?

but i can define it better, i would say you have to look at motives why do "Governments" (really Corporations) want to know everything you do?

want the answer?

they are shitting themselves and are trying to hold onto the control they have over humanity.

what is that control?

its the implicit "right" to say what you use as a "means of exchange" and the explicit "right" to control the issuance of your " energy tokens" otherwise known as "money"

they do this as Debt and this makes you a battery (like the Matrix explained)

the Battery never become free, so we need to "coerce" the Battery (The Lego person) to feel they are being "monitored" we "threaten" them and we use violence on them for examples like to scare the rest of the animals.

this is how your world works, but unfortunately its a circle jerk, without a "Buy in" by the "Battery" (The Lego person) we can't maintain that "police state" there are many examples:

The Russian Federation is a great one, from the late 80's to early 2000 - Others are the "Power of the church" in the middle ages.

do some study..

with out the power to issue money as Debt = no police state, privacy becomes a very marginal retard issue.
