Obligatory fuck Assange, no protection for Russian Agents.
Fuck Snowden too, no respect for him running to Russia. If you think it's your moral obligation to break the law, you should be willing to take the consequences. You can't run off to an enemy state that does much worse things than what you were willing to break the law to expose. I have zero doubt Snowden is a traitor and gave Russia whatever they wanted. It's possible he started off well meaning, but I wouldn't be shocked if he did it for Russia all along. His original intentions don't matter now either way, he had a high clearance and Russia now knows everything he learned with that clearance beyond even the scope of his "whistleblowing".
I have noticed that if you say anything bad about snowden on reddit or now the Fediverse, you quickly get down-voted a lot. I am starting to think this is coordinated somehow.
He’s a whistleblower. Corrupt corpos/countries hate whistleblowers. Reddit/Lemmy users hate corrupt corpos/countries. There.
It’s as easy as that, no need to bring out conspiracies.
You are probably right. It’s just the speed and amount that got me thinking otherwise. Lemmy is a lot more popular then I thought.
