    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.

        Yeah never really seen him talk much else besides mass surveillance issues

        Greenwald is a russia apologist
