@namark Not having the benefit of your toot length, I'm going to reply to four specific points:

1. Cryptography and surveilence avoidance are two different things....

I'm not claiming they aren't. I'm claiming they're _hard_. You're having an argument I"m not making.

2. ...give me an example of free and open source software running on free and open source hardware...

Again, not my argument. Present surveillance (capitalist/state/other) systems run on free software.
