Being self reliant and not reliant on the state will mean for example that we don't follow the sheep into the refugee camps when disaster strikes. That on its own makes us "someone of interest".

A useful analogy would be the Stasi in East Germany during the bad days. See the film "Lives of others" for an interesting watch. The Stasi's idea was to know everything about everyone.

We may not be terrorists but I for one am not going to make "The Man's" life any easier.
Pay by Cash - walk in the shadows

Let's think on this then, interesting subject.

For the sake of discussion, ponder this viewpoint.

If we are "someone of interest" because we don't follow the sheep to the refugee camp then we will be that person anyway. If we had something to hide, something we really didn't want the authorities to know about, we wouldn't use public comms to talk about it- encrypted or not - so why would we want to flag ourselves as "persons of interest" by using encrypted comms for stuff that is entirely innocent ? It just makes us look suspicious and draws attention to ourselves. If TPTB want to find us they will, they are well resourced, don't kid yourself that you can hide - if they want to find out what you are doing they can and will pull your bank / credit / phone / medical / employment / vehicle ownership / movement / title deeds / family history / education etc., etc records.

They will deduce who you know, where you go, and what you do.

But, this takes resources - resources they will not use on just anyone, just on "persons of interest" - the type of people who use encrypted communications.

Of course, this is in a different league from simply buying a sack of extra rice with cash.
