Post-nationalist may be a bit of a strong term, or an overstatement, but I think you're on the right track.
People are more connected to each other across the world than before. The government is not the only body with multinational links and multinational information coming is as part of everyday life. The 'othering' of people in other countries no longer so prominent. We care a little less about our own country compared to the wider world.
And yes, the government has totally, thoroughly earned our distrust and disrespect in this field. Almost any new security work assumes not just hackers as its threat model, but pervasive network monitoring and compromised service-providers at every level.
New security systems, created by freedom-minded individuals - not terrorists, not criminals - actually count the government as a direct threat.

This is quite a big thing...
