because they've controlled your life for decades before and it was okay, why start caring now when the likelihood of anything negative happening is no bigger than it has been before
it's getting worse?
secondly, it's clear that the bullstuff the government stamps into your mind is working. instead of wondering "hmm, would the original founders of the country approve of that fact they're controlling us," or "isn't this a free country and aren't we supposed to have privacy in our lives," you say that we shouldn't worry about the government controlling us because it's been happening for the past few decades and nothing bad has happened yet (which is a lie.)
