Just putting it out there that Snowden and the journalist he worked with, Glenn Greenwald, were and are both a lot more right wing than they seemed to a lot of folks on first glance.
Both of them have some good viewpoints that are seriously undermined by other more unsavory viewpoints they have.
I mean… yea… just because someone did a good thing, doesn’t make them a perfect human. I mean even the famous non-violent leader Gandhi slept with his niece (allegedly)
Glenn, yes. Snowden I don’t think so.
My impression of him is that he wants to unite everyone against surveillance, and doesn’t want other issues to get in the way of his messaging/work about that. I could be wrong.
