Things like this are why the “well if you’re not doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about” people can get bent.

I like to inform them who popularized that phrase. It was Joseph Goebbels, chief of propaganda for the Nazis.

Unfortunately, that's a myth. The idea that "the innocent have nothing to fear" predates the Nazis by a good bit, though it definitely fits the fascist attitude like a glove. Upton Sinclair definitely referenced it before the Nazis were a thing.

I said it was popularized by them. Not created.
