Obviously a lot of people here hide a lot of information. What is keeping you all from extreme stress considering the possibility that a government is spying on your actions despite strict privacy practices? Considering my current situation and my extreme threat model it feels like the privacy walls around me are closing in. I'm very paranoid. I do a lot of risky and dangerous shit on the internet. Every knock on my door and phone call feels like the police. I don't talk with others about what I do and I'm always hiding my internet activity from others. Any thoughts would be helpful

Because I'm a fan of my fucking rights and I'll defend it against an authoritarian government. I don't need to be a terrorist to value free speech.

How do you all stay calm with all this pressure?

It's hard, but by using good tools, writing out my privacy model, being informed. It will not necessarily make you calm about the current state of everything but at least be knowledgeable about how good your entire environment is.
