I tire of arguing with you. If you think Snowden is unpatriotic idiot that helped America’s enemies, then do that. In my eyes, you’re an idiot. Snowden is a hero. He saw unprecedented data collection, not only of americans, but allies and enemies alike and he did something about it, knowing full well that it would cost him the life he’s been living up to that point. He worked with renowned journalists to ethically disclose the information he uncovered without putting lives at risk.
You remind me of covid conspiracists, who latched on to the person Fauci to discredit the government response to covid, completely ignoring the thousands of scientists behind the scenes working on how to deal with the pandemic. Likewise, you get hung up on Snowden and Greenwald, when it was hundreds of journalists over multiple news orgs and countries working with the files Snowden provided.
On top of that, you continue to defend the US government, which time and again is circumventing or breaking its own rules, as somehow reputable enough to be worthy of Snowden’s trust. If you can’t see the tremendous amount of bias you’re showing, then I can’t help you. And I don’t want to either.
Calm down. You’re tired, so I’ll keep it short. I quoted Greenwald. Does Greenwald’s quote make sense after what I explained and after reading the articles I linked? Yes or no. That’s all the work you should do.
You think I’m a conspiracy theorist because you’ve read conspiracy theories in forums online. Most people get their news from sources like The NYT and The Week instead of those forums, so what I’m telling you is mainstream belief. It just happens to match the beliefs of people in the tech industry at the time like me.
