you have pointed out a valid concern that doesn't make this one less true at all.
As far as I understand joepie91 talks about people whom genuinely want to learn about privacy and instead are just mocked or judged (and in sometimes also harassed) because they still need/want/prefer to use services e.g. Facebook, Google.
Sometimes we start the conversation about privacy in a really "aggressive mode" way and tend to bring the conversation on and on even after the people explicitly said " I don't care about privacy" or " I still need to use [service]" . it seems we ignore this:
Again, you made a vaild point, but one problem doesn't exclude the other.
