I have a feeling a whole bunch of people are about to start caring, when they see normal things being used as excuses to arrest friends, family, colleagues.

It has to be easy, low effort, and something there friends are doing too.
Starting by not calling people that don't know/care about privacy "normies", and educating them I guess.
Also I'd say start with the "easier" ones, for instance anti-capitalist people are more open to find ways to avoid surveillance capitalism. If enough of these people care and educate their respective circles, eventually all people will care.

you should stop calling people "normies", if you want them to care about what you have to say
yeah that is definitely the core of the problem
