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.
