    The dude sacrificed his comfortable life to tell us that the feds are violating the 4th amendment on a regular basis and you’re calling him a traitor? Fuck you

      I’ll only speak for myself; I don’t think Snowden was a traitor. The guy’s a fuckin hero. That’s not mutually exclusive with maybe him having to give up some intel once he’s in the clutches of the Russian government with maybe not a lot of options that wouldn’t lead to some real bad shit for him.

      I feel bad for the guy. He 100% did the right thing, knowing ahead of time that he would get fucked for it, and now he’s fucked and has powerful powerful enemies, and no friends. If anything I was saying sounded like I was agreeing he was a traitor, I was not.
