Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero?

Reply in thread

You think him fleeing to Russia is inconsistent? It seems to me that the organizations he's exposed are the sort of outfits that would murder someone like him, so in order to stay alive I don't know what other choices he would've had.

Agree on Greta btw, but to continue with the same example, I would say that killing a little girl is less likely, because it would create a martyr. And if she were ever in danger I wouldn't hold it against her if she chose to disappear somewhere. She's already done more than enough.

My point being, I don't necessarily see the difference, and I'm a bit confused at the apparent hesitation to label Snowden a hero. Tempted to assume that the smear campaign is working even in these circles.

Elon Musk salute controversy

What's the controversy? The man's entire body of work is authoritarian to the core. Are we debating whether this was a nazi salute or an awkward attempt at a nazi salute? Who cares about the gesture, look where he invested his money, what he says on a daily basis. Is there anyone who doesn't recognize the fascism? If you don't recognize it, I got news for you...

You can tell things about people by the way they dress and the way they look in general. This guy's decision to dress like that screams that he's going to pull a gun when there is no need to. You know this, but you're doing mental gymnastics trying to deny it because of trans people being persecuted by morons.
