Snowden is a fucking patriot in my books. It blows my mind how most people I talk to about him have never even heard his name.
There are a lot of leftists who hate Snowden because he discredited the institutions that leftists hold as their ideal. You would think progressives would be against spy organizations, but these government within the government groups are what the educated ones believe are the moral center of the state.
All the power, none of the responsibility, with eternal gaslighting and getting off on deception for its own sake. It's what a world run by women and fags looks like.. Snowden is a working class hero, and they hate him more than anything for that.
Both the left and right want his head on a pike. He's honestly better off living in exhile in Russia
Except, what has become secret in our governments has become ludicrous.
We have a right to know a majority of what is "classified" as secret.
The secrecy is almost never about the welfare of our countries. It's about protecting those within government who fucked up, scammed or deliberately participated in criminal activity.
Fuck secrecy, I want wide open transparency and accountability.
On top of that. It's always claimed we are keeping these secrets to protect from other countries knowing. I'll make bets that almost every country knows about every other countries secrets. The only people who are not in the know are the people in the general population.
Uneducated, unknowing and ignorant electorates will continue to vote the Trudeaus, the Clintons etc. in.
If Snowden only leaked the domestic spying programs, he'd have been pardoned by now. It was the foreign stuff that got him labeled as a traitor.
Don't fall for it, its a trap. The establishment wants this guy dead, just like Assange.
