I would feel much better about other countries mass surveillance than the US. China for instance can’t do nearly as much to me as the US justice system can.

Ok so now connect the mass surveillance system to an automated killing system that can blow you up in the grocery store because you're standing in line next to its target.
I'm not sure if you're talking about America or a foreign nation in this example.
Given a choice between someone blowing me up because I’m next to a high value asset and worrying about jack booted masked thugs with qualified immunity killing me and being cheered by 40% of the population - I’ll take my chance with China having my info before ICE or the local police.
Yes but you would be dead before it can affect your quality of life so its unimpactful. The former can very much impact your life
the logical extension is that everyone should kill themselves right now so that they never suffer again
The fear itself of that happening is impactful, and they know that and will use it
Glib take. I think most would rather not be killed given the choice. Especially if they have kids or others that rely on them.
